The ESL EU Feburary Map Pool will include iCCup Pawn Re and iCCup Testbug!!! I can assure everyone this is just the beginning, and I am still working on quite a bit on other things regarding maps, this is very big for the custom map scene! So what does everyone think of this big news? ESL News Link Here are the two iCCup maps: iCCup Testbug + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/YaoIS.jpg) iCCup Pawn Re + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/UHQVy.jpg) | ||

However, I notice in Pawn Re that two of the expansions have only one gas. Do you guys think it's really a good idea to start with maps that will change fundamental aspects of match-ups instead of just correcting current flaws in maps? Why not just leave it with the standard two gasses? I feel like these maps would be accepted by the players more effectively if they didn't try to change things that aren't really being complained about right now, you know? | ||

Finally all the really shitty maps are not in their map pool anymore. And it will even get better next month: We aim to increase the map pool to 9 maps for March,... Thanks iCCup for these great maps and thanks ESL for being so awesome and using them! Helps the scene so much! | ||

Do you guys think it's really a good idea to start with maps that will change fundamental aspects of match-ups instead of just correcting current flaws in maps? Is it really necessary to take out a gas? Why not just leave it with the standard two? Whether such a change will end up being good for maps, I feel like it's trying to do two things at once. Well those 2 expansions look more like "if you are way ahead and winning you can take these". So I don't think it matters that much? Anyway I'm sure there's a thread on TL about the map where you can ask those questions. This thread is about the awesomeness of ESL changing map pool! | ||

Though I do disagree with your first statement, you're right that I shouldn't have brought it up here. My apologies. I think ESL picking up these maps is a really good sign. | ||

Testbug is also the coolest looking map I've seen. | ||
