Should be a fun season. I'm looking forward to seeing who makes it in, since those who are pre-qualified (Trap, Dream, Zoun, Zest) aren't really the normal names.

Same old boring maps (unless Pillars of Glod is a new map set in the village that was featured in Borat). I was hoping Afreeca would have picked up the slack in Blizzard's absence.

Well at least it's nice that GSL is happening soon.

They wouldn't randomly use new and untested maps in the qualifiers.

When was the last time GSL used maps that weren't part of the standard ladder pool? They had a 4 player map in a couple seasons ago didn't they?

I'm sure they'll add in at least one new map for this season. Korea has to be aware of how long it's been since the ladder map pool was updated, and their giant innovation to Starcraft in the first place was maps, so there's a lot of good reasons to be encouraged that new maps will be in soon.

This isn't brood war. Most new maps & testing was done by TL. The Korean scene is propped up by Blizzard dollars and will disappear in a year or two.

GSL literally brought their "own" map into the map pool in S1 last year (it was still made by a community member afaik, like they always have been.)

I've reached out to Afreeca regarding an English cast for the Qualifiers! Obviously Tasty and Artosy will be covering the main event as usual.
