Terrible news...
I don't like most of those new maps and I really don't get why Shakuras was removed.
Those maps aren't on EU yet, but I guess they will be soon. Guess I won't ladder anymore.

lolwut why did they take out shakuras agn oO.

Did anyone ever complain that map was bad?

Betcha it's the bnet trolls reporting the map as imbalanced cause it's too big T___T

..or something retarded like they plan to put it back into 2v2 rotation T_______________T"

Shattered temple looks good though ^__^ (still reckon remaking Python and renaming it into something else would be better though).

they left DELTA QUADRANT IN and took out shakuras. Put in freaking backwater gulch the worst of the test maps ><. That was the only of the 5 or 6 test maps I had a real problem with

edit: hehe on a positive note, very very happy to see new maps! The other 3 played pretty nicely when I tried in ptr

noooo Lost temple is lost D: and steppes gone also my favorite annoy people macro map D: . And those are the ptr maps everybody ranted about and now they are cool. *looks confused*. Well new lost tempel is better for terran then the old one so i am looking forward to see posts about the new maps from zerg players :3 .
Probably only want to test them because ptr was deserted, before they will add gsl maps (if they think gsl maps are balanced)

Well, would have liked to have seen GSL maps, but I guess these are better than Steppes. Also, is it possible to spawn close positions on slag pits? But seriously blizz, we want GSL maps.

I just played a game on typhus peaks and was all excited thinking they put in gsl maps. Needless to say I am very disappointed. Luckily the map seemed decent. I don't like how open natural is, but the map is pretty big. Not sure about the third location though.

I'm glad Shakuras got removed. The back door entrance kind of made this map dicey from zerg's point of view imho.

ay dios mio! I was hoping they would have a rethink on some of these maps but I guess they decided to push it through. What's up with shakuras though?

To use as one of the downvote options?

Is the change live on EU?

Shakuras gone, but Delta stays

my faith in Blizzard remains loltastic

at least GOM made good decisions with their map pool

what this tells me is that Blizzard has too much faith in its ladder map statistics and doesn't put a high priority on how maps play out in competitive leagues / tournaments.
