Looks like horrible maps (thinking about the 1v1 maps). The only map that looks decent is the 4th in the 1v1 pool. Blizzard are so fucking stubborn with making the game end before the 20 min mark. 3d base will be incredibly difficult to take....

Hopefully they remove Slag Pits, Backwater Gulch and Delta Quadrant and replace them with the new maps!

I like map nr 2 and 4. Map 3 can be good in some positions but I feel that it can also bit tricky on others. It's also hard to tell how by just looking at the pictures

I think 1, 2, and 4 will be fine additions to the ladder pool. As a matter of fact, I think the 4th map is actually almost brilliant except for the middle portion of the map. It's uninspired and the gold bases don't fit in their position at all.

The third map is just overboard on the rocks, which makes it seem like a great Terran map. I can't imagine that many zergs will have that map in their pool. : )

not like it would matter much but 2v2 maps are utter shit and ruining the already dead gametype even further


All the team maps look extremely scarce in terms of additional resources. You'd think there would be more bases on them considering there's 2-4 times as many people playing, but that just doesn't seem to be the case for some reason...

i think people are just complaining since its related to "blizzard" and "maps"


Yeah I get this vibe too. The maps seem pretty good in general.

I think I read somewhere that LSprime was helping out Blizzard with the map pool. Is this true?

step 1: create poll on official website asking about how the community likes destructable rocks
step 2: receive huge response that community hates destructable rocks
step 3: introduce the new 4 maps, in which there is a shit ton of destructable rocks that play key roles in the matches

Cmon blizzard.... if you're gonna make a poll like that, at least listen to our responses. Very disappointing new map pool as well. At least let's hope these will finally replace maps like delta and scrap.

I guess they're decent for the ladder....doubt they'll be any use in competitive play though.

I gotta say, I'm liking both the look of the maps in question but also the idea of new maps in general. It would be awesome if they'd add some more GSL maps too!

Hopefully I'll see lots of proxy stargates/starports on the macro map in the obvious air distance spot so I can secure lots of easy wins.

#1 looks pretty terrible

#2 why do we need such complex naturals with rocks everywhere

#3 if you spawn in the close spots it looks just as bad as slag pits. where is the 3rd in that case.. ?

#4 actually looks like a semi-decent map, save for possible rotational symmetry imbalances.


i dont know why blizzard are designing maps based on gameplay "categories" rush/macro etc.. a good map will inherently be able to show each of those styles of games depending on the players.. as a zerg, why would I ever want to play on the rush maps? Are they basically saying, "we want you to do 1-2 base all-ins" ?

I'm not too sure, otherwise these new maps would be inspired, or atleast slightly better, we've seen alot of good maps from LSPrime and other Korean MapMakers, and asmuch as i might be able to bare some of these new maps they're definately not up to par.

If they remove the right maps, it could be a change for the better.

but at the same time, you look at a map like tal darim as a toss player and say: do i pressure him really hard really early - 4 gate? dt rush?
or do i play a 'macro game' going nexus first or forge expand in which case the zerg either expands 5 times without anything to do to stop it, or they use some kind of 2 base roach/ling all in

they are yet to find many maps where there is a good balance

Way more impactful than the actual maps is whether they will have close positions or not. Will they?
