mad props to mlg for eliminating the close-spawns and ramp blocks

seems like mlg really knows what it is doing... sticking to its guns on some issues like extended series and listen to communities on some other issues like maps

just because the map pool isn't perfect doesn't mean it isn't a huge step up from last year.. very very excited about seeing this year's mlg!

ya know with them editing the maps, i wonder if we'll see IN map advertisements? ie metal with those buildings that are in-between-air between bases(i hope that made sense) lol
*pst i'd like credit if thats a new idea* :D


I would assume not, Blizzard does not like the idea afaik, and from the iCCup side we are strictly against ads being anywhere but the load screens. I cannot speak for GSL maps or anyone else, but I know iCCup will NOT ever do that.

Yea, just curious. As a player I honestly wouldn't mind it, but as a spectator it would be kind of a "taking away from the game" feeling for ingame advertisement.


That's our concern. I know it pisses me off in other games that do it, I would HATE to see that become the golden standard in SCII .

Sort of makes a battle between a bunch of colsi and roaches seem rather fake when they are doing it by the "McDonald's Xel Naga Watch Tower" lol


Naw you'd have to change it to arches instead of tower with same function. That wouldn't be too intrusive if that was changed.
There's no S in KT. :P

Really happy to see testbug in there, it's a great map that I think has a lot of potential for awesome games.

Not crazy about scrap station being in there, would like to see it replaced by a solid four player map like Terminus or Tal'daram altar. I do like crossfire though.

I think its dumb to only have cross map spawns on MLG Shakuras Plateau. I'm fine with the no close spawns on meta/ST but no backdoor spawns on Shakuras is kinda lame.

Otherwise i think the map pool is amazing and am pretty happy with it

I was about to post:
"My biggest complaint (and this is kind of nit-picking), but why add the MLG in front of Scrap Station & Crossfire SE if they didn't receive any changes?"

After thinking about it for a minute though, I guess it would make it more convenient if searching for MLG listed all the maps they're using.

What is different between MLG Scrap Station and regular Scrap Station?
What is different between MLG GSL Crossfire SE and GSL Crossfire SE?

Sorry if this is obvious :x

edit: Maybe it *is* just to help search em?

Major props to MLG taking a proactive approach in the map selection. I would have liked to see crevasse and/or Terminus over Crossfire, but this is only a minor quibble.

I really like this map pool, only change I would have made is cutting scrap station and putting in another one of the GSL/ICCUP/New Ladder maps.

I'm also not a huge fan of restricting spawn positions on maps but I guess given the current balance of the game it's a necessary evil, however if Zerg early game does get buffed I wouldn't mind seeing the return of close spawns on some of these maps for MLG.

and dont ask me why they even picked the worst out of these.

No difference. It's just to make them easier to be found: "To access this map pool, including the non-ladder maps, simply search for "MLG" on the StarCraft 2 map selection screen."

Shakuras cross positions only seems a bit stupid. Why not use a better 2 player map if you only have 2 spawns?
It really is a very mediocre map, it's only saving grace is the size.
There are tons of custom 2 player maps that are way more interesting and balanced.


Personally i'm very glad none of the GSL maps have been added as I'm of the opinion that they are just as imbalanced as some of the blizzard maps.

I absolutely love these maps. Thanks for removing some of the reasons zergs hate these maps, the coin flip in getting a close position. I love the fact your using Iccup + GSL maps as well. Much love MLG!
Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.

Wow, this is a great map pool. It shows that MLG is listening to the community. Testbug is such an awesome selection. Blizzard may think we all hate Shakuras, but MLG knows what's up!
