It's obviously a great BW map but with smart fire, the small chokes wreak havoc, I don't know if I would quite consider it "in good standing" as long as the map is as small as it is. Other than that, I think the other maps there aren't bad at all | ||

Other than that, I think the other maps there aren't bad at all Match Point has actually been one of the best maps we have had thus far. So many good games on that map. But as always, we will keep watch. The "In Good Standing" thing relates to it's inclusion in the map pool. For example if those chokes proved to be a major problem that HAD to be fixed you would see it labeled "Suspended until chokes are fixed" or whatever. | ||

Are kespa maps copyrighted? I assume so..maybe in the future something can be negotiated Blizz will likely want more xelnega towers, gold min, and destructible rocks, as well as the 8 mineral + 2 gas standard... that could be tough to get around | ||

It's not concrete on what action we're going to take although it's likely to simply be a removal of the offending maps from the pool. Map balance is extremely important not only to the balance and enjoyment of our multiplayer games on Battle.net, but the tournaments they can lead to, and of course the tournaments themselves. We watch them very closely and right now we do agree that some aren't presenting, literally, a level playing field." | ||

What I would love to see is major tournaments starting to implement non-blizzard maps. Hopefully that would force Blizz into taking some action on map balance. Problem with Warcraft III is that there were no major tournament organizations like ICCup putting out their own maps, left everyone to deal with the Blizz-made maps. Keep the good maps coming ICCup!! | ||

I don't really know how any good map is supposed to catch on when it's automatically placed behind something like 4 pages of Blizzard maps and 5 more pages of random junk. | ||
