I like the new maps being introduced now and saw several matches being played at the Gisado stream and used as test runs for them.

It looked pretty good so hopefully this new maps will inject some novelty and improving the balance of the map pool

I'm somewhat annoyed that they aren't removing scrap station, since I'd really prefer main base ramps being small enough for a single force field to be the norm, but other than that, I like where they're headed.

The only thing annoying with laddering is when you get the same map 3 times in a row.

only time will tell how good they are. this poll should probably come after we've seen them be played

I dont know if anyone has made mention of this yet, so I thought I'd put it out there.

Seems like (according to Liquipedia) all the new maps in the GSTL are going to be played in the regular GSL. But on the description of all the maps it still says "under consideration". Checked the GomTV site and no word from them yet.

New maps introducted is always a positive steps; particulary since there was testing which involved pro players.. there has been a lot of debate around zerg being able to engage on crossfire.. but overall, it is great news

removing the maps mentioned is pretty amazing for the game

I like these maps in general, but I've got a bit of an issue with Terminus where one player's third is right next to the opponent's main.

I don't feel like I have a strong opinion of the maps just yet as I have hardly played on them, but honestly the maps they're removing are what I really love. Really looking forward to watching the new map pool in play.

im just happy there is a change in scenery. the maps taken out were terrible, so i can't see how this isn't a good move in the right direction. the willingness to change maps may finally get blizzard to realise that people get bored with stagnant maps

If they got rid of the dead space on the maps it would be much better for the game... BW mapmakers started to get REALLY good with using space as the years went on, maybe it will just take some time for sc2 mapmakers to get it >.>. Especially regarding spaces behind the mains, being able to float banshees and medivacs back there without being hit by any ground unit besides a thor is kinda dumb o_o;;.

EDIT: Crevasse is pretty good about it, but the other 3 all have convenient places for pesky air units to bugger off to.

EDIT2: The question does remain... why the hell is crap station still in the pool?
