Metal is probably gonna be replaced its old and its boring so will Scrap. Not only that but Backwater and Slag are Aggro maps while Xel and Scrap are more intermediate. Crossfire isn't that aggro either. I think you confusing 2 plaer maps with aggression. That isn't always the case. | ||

The maps like Steppes and Blistering etc. allowed for EQUAL FOOTING for both types of players, that is the creative/strategic/micro player and the macro or 'unstrategic' player. But these new maps FAVOUR MACROERS and that is not balanced. Can creative micro strategists beat macroers on new maps? Yes, but in order to do so they have to outplay them by a lot! Its funny how unbelievably correct you are and how unbelievably unlikely it is for anyone to agree with you. I think Crevasse is the closest of the GSL maps listed in the OP to strike a balance between strategy based vs. macro based gameplay. | ||

(GSL Crossfire would be cool) Intermediate maps: - Metalopolis - The Shattered Temple - Backwater Gultch/Slag Pits Macro maps: - Crevasse - Terminus RE - Tal'Darim Altar By what logic is Crossfire an aggro map? Blizzard said that close rush positions are imba on 2-player maps (agree) but acceptable as possible spawns on 4-player maps (Can kind of see the logic, but disagree) Thus, the rush maps are 4-player maps with close spawns: Slag, Backwater, and Shattered. This means Metal and Delta are likely to get removed. They fit the same niche as Slag and Backwater, are older, and one of them is really unpopular among all skill levels. The macro maps are the GSL maps. Duh. The intermediate maps are thus Xel'Naga, Scrap, and Typhon. This means that if you downvote Slag, Backwater, and Typhon, 5 of the remaining 6 maps are in the GSL, and Shattered Temple is in MLG (with close spawns disabled). That makes the ladder for for tournament practice. With Slag, Backwater, and Typhon downvoted, there is a 1-in-6 chance you will roll a map with a 1-in-3 chance of spawns that aren't in a tournament. In other words, on the new map pool, with proper downvoting, there's a 94%* percent chance you will roll a map and set on spawn positions used by MLG or the GSL, with only Shattered Temple on close spawns being useless for tournament practice. *Assuming I'm good at math. 5/6 chance of good map, + 2/3rds of 1/6th chance of Shattered Temple on non-close spawns | ||
