I obviously promote new maps because the game needs some freshness. I don t know why zergs pro players like Serral or Reynor doesn t play this tourney but i m more and more pessimist about the balance especially when it s talking about map control. Let s give again one month to Zergs for their needs of adaptation, and then dominate the top of the chart

Probably for the same reason HeroMarine in the last TLMC was loud about (or the one before that, I do not exactly remember) - not there to be beta testers and want maps to be immediately ladder ready. That invariably favours some maps over others. If Map pool is blander as a result, likely a tertiary concern for them.
Yeah I feel sad for Showtime as well. I miss Stats like you wouldn't believe. Not just his rock solid play style, but his warm personality as well. Showtime is Stats Jr for me, and I always cheer for him. At least he made it into DH Atlanta
