I think the current 7-8 for GSLs is fine considering most players get to know which maps to practice on before hand (well at least the first map in the series with the new Bo3 change). I have to agree with Telcontar. Whether it is 4-5 maps or 7-8 maps, I already have them all memorized, I would rather see the highlest level of play. And mind games are always fun for spectators (he did FFE last time, will he do it again? OH SHIT it's a proxy 2 gate vs 16hatch 16pool!!) | ||

They arn't bitching about that, they just say there are too many maps. They could just have 5 maps in total, 2 being community ones, and it would be a different story. | ||

I think the current 7-8 for GSLs is fine considering most players get to know which maps to practice on before hand (well at least the first map in the series with the new Bo3 change). I get what you're saying, but I personally would prefer higher quality games on a smaller set of maps than games of lower quality on a more varied map pool. As for the 'viewers getting bored' part, it doesn't necessarily mean that with fewer maps. The more focused practice from players will create more variety & style on those maps which will keep the viewers happy. Think about it. Would you rather have superficial variety of different maps or something much deeper such as personalised strats, quirks, and styles being developed. | ||

Bah, it is what it is i guess =/ The trouble is sotg is a mantle through which people like artosis can disseminate bullshit like he watches the most starcraft out of anybody and the masses, through little fault of their own, believe him and he becomes one of the 'untouchables'. Hawanni's anecdote concerning themarine and the amount of mvp games he watched before the wcg finals just reiterated how far the foreign scene has to go. | ||

I was thinking exactly the same thing when the map debate is going on. Tyler actually usually has some interesting tid-bits about good protoss players though. Y no Parting though, he is sick, some of the best mechanics out there. | ||
