The ICCup team is doing everything to make StarCraft 2 best playable, everything for the game, if their maps got surpassed by new Blizzard maps (which is unlikely :p) I'm sure they would be happy about it, not sad. | ||

T.T These and the GSL maps ... but then where do they draw the line and which crappy maps get removed? I think someone over at Blizzard is still trying to find a way to make Steppes of War work ... | ||

T.T Trust me, very few pros (at least in NA) are using the ladder for practice anyways. Most have already switched to customs for practice. | ||

Pros aren't the only people out there ;(. Guys like ESL/Craftcup do an awesome job for the non-pro players to get some competition. Ladder is an important part for them. | ||

That seems kind of doubtful. I mean, even TSL3 is going to use old ladder maps, no? Of course you wouldn't just say this for no reason, but I just don't understand the motivation behind it. Unless they really strongly believe that there's going to be huge changes in the map pool soon. | ||

I'm not sure everyone using different custom maps is a very good idea... Unfortunately, the world of mapmakers and tournament organizers aren't as cohesive and united as we would hope them to me. WCG and iCCup changes their map pool way slower compared to the KeSPA lineup for OSL, MSL, and Proleague. Eventually, certain maps will emerge to be so good that it is almost impossible not to use them for a tournament. Destination and Match Point come to mind. Right now, we are in the early stages of adopting custom maps for SC2, and the more maps we test and filter out, the better. Also, I think I heard from somewhere that Gisado from GOM initially checked out some of the iCCup maps but wasn't convinced that they were good enough to be used for the Korean games. Nevertheless, it's great to see the SC2 scene look more and more like the BW scene. Custom maps being adopted AND GSL adding a Proleague system? It's almost too good to be true. | ||

I'm saying most pros do not ladder anymore, the last Top 200 really shows that.

Actually, I think I misunderstood my source since I was essentially trying to remember an obscure post. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=182734¤tpage=7#122 I guess he considered the maps, but obviously didn't end up using them. It's a shame too, since the iCCup maps are definitely strong contenders compared to the Korean maps. | ||

If he searched for them on the Korean B.net, that would explain it, as the maps are not there 0.o! But soon they will be on the KOR server. | ||

i've never been around for the original bn ladder in sc:bw but wasn't it the same? maps weren't updated and were crap and then people started making better maps and players stopped playing ladder (+ hacks on ladder  | ||

But now that we have chat channels, it's no problem whatsoever to organize custom games for training. And for pros it's obviously least problematic since they mostly have training partners/team members. | ||
