I like "slow and well done" much better than "fast but rushed"  Thank you Blizzard! I haven't played the new maps a lot, but I am already liking the new improved map pool that lacks steppes, blistering and jungle basin. | ||

I think it's three maps, but one at a time. Blizz said in an interview they'd intended to be rotating maps more often then they have been, but they've been busy or somesuch. They said they wanted a map rotation every 3-4 months, so they might dole out GSL maps slowly, while also occasionally replacing one of their smaller maps. I'm kind of hoping they switch out one map per month or something. Keep it varied. Also, we're not getting Steppes back, so can we please calm down about that? | ||

I don't see what would be so bad about at least trying it out, obviously not in a big name tournament right away or anything, but maybe iCCup or another big map creator could make one for some players to try out. I would, but my map editor skills are abysmal. | ||

Guessing, but saying they removed Shakuras because they don't like maps with safe expansions, and then the very next week announcing GSL maps? I suppose it could be a pretty epic communication mishap, though. The amulet change was made because HT energy upgrade was too strong on GSL-sized maps, right? I think we'll see the GSL maps when patch 1.3 comes out. That would make sense; after all, even Blizzard can't possibly think Slag Pits is a map more suited to macro than Metalopolis, can they? CAN THEY???  | ||

The fact alone that their maps will be used in the ladder is a great honour. It also really is good for getting a job in the entertainment industry I think that is more valuable them getting just paid for the maps they made. | ||

I mean they really have a strange sense of humour: first they add those ridiculous excuses for maps and then they announce that these three great maps will be available soon? Can't wait. Also playing on slag pits and backdoor gulch feels even more terrible now lol. I guess I'll be sticking with custom games practicing the new ones. EDIT: just put the whole thing into google translate, it also speaks of something like ladder season 2 starting with the new maps! | ||
