No, it shows how slow they truly are. -_- That and it's a 'consideration.' Just let the community manage it, shrug.

We don't need to go in that again. There's already a thread about it.

why cant they just have a user map contest, i mean some of the new gsl maps arnt even that great.

Hopefully they go through with it, a consolidation of ladder/tournament, and then other tournaments could use the GSL maps. Plus the ladder would be updated way more often, since GOM seems to be ready to update their pool regularly.

Well, the GSTL games on the new maps were some of the best games I've seen. And they seem to be updating the maps to fix any imbalances, with pretty smart fixes (new crevasse).

They should hold a monthly map contest, pick 3 awesome maps, feature them and at the end of the month, include the most played map in the ladder.
|
There are already people whining about the maps there so not sure if they really going to put them in. I'm sure they at least going to see how the gsl is going to go

please change the topic name, blizz unfortunately did not say they're gonna check out the GSL maps for the ladder pool (altough it might be an option).

They did but then editted they message.Their words were something like "We are considering it" in response to someone asking about he gsl maps.

yeah I know, but since they changed it I wouldn't be too happy about that statement from Blizz (but ofc I would hope they're really considering it)

Look, I appreciate everything that iCCup has done so far, but this is a really unfair comparison. When Gom posted their maps, we knew that it would have an immediate effect on the GSL. When iCCup posts new maps, most of the time it was really interesting, but to be honest it didn't have any effect on most people playing the game or watching pros play. It's not like MLG was picking up the maps as soon as they were posted. Hopefully this will change with some European tournaments beginning to use them, but for now, it's very reasonable for people to have a greater reaction to new Gom maps.

The Collegiate Star League uses them sometimes. Not a pro tournament, but its a pretty huge group of players and many of the teams have pros on them.

iCCup maps are great and all, but they don't have the test realm that blizzard has, I honestly couldn't see iCCups in the ladder pool without extensive testing done in a PTR to make sure they play right. Look, I know the PTR maps weren't that good, but there were millions of people who played the maps and gave their input, I don't think we'll ever see so much feedback on an iCCup map because we don't have those millions of players browsing TL forums digging through maps looking to play a custom with their friend.
I think iCCup maps are great, but has blizzard seen them as successful as the GSL maps that were JUST introduced? That's not millions of games either on the GSL maps but it surely showed potential which is WHY blizzard mentioned it. I'm sure if there was an epic tournament that used iCCup maps that blizzard PAYED attention to, then I think it would be on their minds as well.

Most of the GSL/GTSL seasons have Blizzard Employees sitting front row to watch the action, reporting back to Overmind Browder.

TO be honest we don't know how popular those maps would be if they were being used on a regular basis on b.net. Sure they're alot of fun to watch on and to play long games on. But not everyone is going to want to play an epic 45+ minute match back-to-back-to-back sometimes (it happens and it's very tiring).

Most people on the ladder are still going to 1-base or 2-base all-in no matter what the map size is and the game will end in 10-15 min.

Honestly, it's never enough, is it?
This shows they're at least listening. Thank god we don't have the community manage the game considering the amount of stuff that is spouted out on these forums.
They are doing something, I'm sure they'll end up using it considering everyone thinks it's a good thing.

This just made my day 1000x better.. even if it's just a slight chance!

I think if Blizz would actually add the GSL Maps to the ladder pool , it would be the greatest thing they could do for the community, i mean c'mon guys you complainers should really stop bitching about everything Blizz does cause its Blizz...
Saw some games today on TT1's Stream agains Painuser on Terminus Re, and they were awesome , so it would be very sad if they wouldnt actually add them cause some people are complaining just about everything !
|
hmm i wonder if this means that they're gonna add in the ptr maps and the gsl ones. map pool will be pretty big now o.o
