Hope it's not a repost, but it's confirmed that Blizzard considers using the GSL maps in the battlenet ladder. I think it shows that Blizzard is not ignorant as people often make them out to be. The Blueposter later clarified his post, for it to be more vague, but it still shows that Blizzard has the tendency to use non-Blizzard made maps such as the GSL maps. | ||

Most of the GSL/GTSL seasons have Blizzard Employees sitting front row to watch the action, reporting back to Overmind Browder. Yeah, if those employees were watching IM vs. ST...I can't believe we didn't have those maps the day after the tournament. | ||

Not having these maps in the pool is just gonna lead to more and more top players quitting the ladder, and solely focusing on custom games. Why would blizzard want to put that rift in their own ladder system, when they can just implement the GSL maps, and keep everyone laddering and happy. Its like one of the easiest no-brainer solutions i've come across, yet odds are blizzard will do the unthinkable and scrap them for a bunch of bland untested maps that have no revelence to any sort of competetive gaming (including their own massive tournament). sigh Nah theyll probably use both. GSL haven't been tested that much. Theyll probably be implented after GSL 5 is over or something. Would make sense, because the big ladder patch is also supossed to hit in march (? I think) | ||

This way SC2 will still feel fresh for a very long time just like SC did. Hope they ackwnoledge that GSL is not going to be last forever and theres far more target group to focus than thoes hardcore gamers who watch GSL or are Dimond+ players. ICCUP brings high quality maps almost so frequently that its incredible. These guys truely deserve some spotlight in the SC2 community. | ||

However, on the large maps, Protoss is looking pretty unstoppable late game. | ||

There have been lots of small tournaments using them, and I remember guys like TT1 and Sheth playing on them awhile back in these events. Startale is going to play an in house tournament with ICCUP maps next week which has the potential to be really awesome. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=191406 | ||

At the moment weekly tournaments that use iCCup maps in Europe are Go4Sc2 Cup, Viking Cup, Cyborg Cup, Sennheiser Cup, Competo Cup and Epicup. It started 2 weeks ago so we may see bigger tournaments using iCCup maps in the future. But all these cups are already played by the best players in Europe. edit: I think most of the community doesn't know this. For some reason TL is only interested in GSL and their maps... | ||
