LSPrime and JackyPrime were working with Blizzard from a month ago to add Crevasse, Tal'Darim Altar, Terminus RE on ladder map pool, and now it is announced on Korean Blizzard community forum: http://kr.battle.net/sc2/ko/forum/topic/607720827#15
The blue post linked above includes Blizzard's thoughts on ladder map pool, but it's not worth to translate all the words and I don't have enough time to translate that right now. GSL maps are only mentioned once on that post; GSL maps(soon): Macro-oriented.
Here's short translation: We're going to maintain the number of ladder maps to 9 with 3 macro-oriented, 3 aggresive and 3 intermediate maps, so that a player can thumb down based on the player's preference. GSL maps(soon) are macro-oriented.
The news is what I said on my stream a month ago; PMLTAWMGN.
P: Pool
M: Map
L: Ladder
T: To
A: Added
W: Will (be)
M: Maps
G: GSL
N: New

What an unfair acronym. 
Otherwise, that's amazing news! Can't wait to play Crevasse against people that aren't 3+ leagues below me!

Thank you Blizzard. Hopefully they try to balance the game around bigger maps now. Now with bigger maps i can more effectively practice my SK Terran.

Upcomming patch looks pretty cool actually. I might start playing again. It's been too long.. good news  Better maps are always welcome and should make for some interesting game on ladder.
|
terminus is a fun/good map. Haven't played enough of the otehres but I really liked that one. good choice by blizz.
|
Yes! Thank you Blizzard for listening!
|
Wow!! Blizzard really came through. Much kudos to the Prime clan mapmakers, GSL for spotlighting and using them, and Blizzard for introducing them into ladder. Woot!
|

YEAH Crevasse, and those 2 other ones are quite nice too^^
|
There is no chance at all that they would add these maps to only the Korean ladder right? Just getting all doubt out of the way before I get really excited haha.
