KSS is the greatest map sc2 has seen. It is the Fighting Spirit of this game. It's #2 after Whirlwind.
Whirlwind is a solid map, too. I just like 2 player maps a bit more because of removed randomness.

Although I think that the big problem is that the foreign scene is pretty much dead. Besides Snute and Bunny, there's noone able to compete with Koreans. I remember that even a bad player like Goody pulled in viewers in the early days. Remember aTn's Cloud? Beastyqt? Tarson? Whitera? Thorzain? Stephano? Idra? Huk? Nerchio? TLO as a terran? Even Jinro playing? And so on. Today's foreigner names are (to me) very empty. Showtime, Lilbow, who are those protosses that are considered being the "best foreign protoss"? Sorry, they are mediocre protosses. Going down 0-3 to hydra - well, noone blames you on that, but imagine that would've been Naniwa. Or Huk in his prime. Remember Idra! The foreign scene wasn't dead from the very beginning, on the contrary. I feel like with WoL, foreign starcraft - died.

In every esports game the popularity of the game being played directly relates to the interest of the professional scene.. Okay, you remember that tournament from Pughy where he included KeSPA pros? I'm just annoyed at all the ignorant/semi-racist people on the internet trying insinuate that having Korean's in a tournament leads to lower viewership. Anyone with that opinion should get a lobotomy I wanted to imply that high-profile korean names actually increase viewership. Your average Alicia, Squirtle, Daisy et al won't of course. That would be the "faceless" road. Oh, perhaps actually! particularly at some of those old Mlg's that was certainly the case.
So no more calling for lobotomy and calling people semi-racists?

Frost suffered from some awful chokes and highgrounds that could make PvZ super stupid. It was a good Whirlwind replacement though.
