I can't beat them, but you don't see me on here advocating that Blizzard add maps that only I would like to play. And these maps look okay, but I haven't played on them, so I'm not going to shit on any of them like so many of my forum brethren have. I'll say that they look decent. They're not GSL maps, which I almost uniformly love, but I'm sure they'll give most of the players (including myself) some fun games. And that's what Blizzard is in the business of, giving the most people at the same time as much fun as they can. So kudos. You realize that quote is talking about 3v3 and 4v4 right? | ||

It's gets too complicated for people when they upgrade from Platinum and suddenly have to acclimate to new maps. That's not far to anyone at all. Also, did anyone read what Blizzard wrote at the end of the blog post?

There doesnt need to be "rush maps" to have players rush + Show Spoiler [Dreamhack] + (dh finals moon 6 pooling on tal darim?) User was warned for this post. Even if you aren't spoiling results please do people the courtesy of using spoilers when discussing games. | ||

Looking at the statistics, we’re seeing that the higher level players rarely play these formats. Therefore, we’ve decided to go with a bit more of a casual-player-friendly selection of formats. We want to provide a good mix of fortress style maps, as well as rush maps, to cater to the broad player base here. Our goal for these two formats is for players to be able to enjoy variety in the gameplay, rather than trying to provide an eSports level of game balance. I love how Blizzard says 'yay, the pros don't ladder anyways'. So Blizzard. Why do you think that is? Because you don't use the maps the pros have to practice. If you want them to ladder, add GSL and ICCup maps. Problem solved. But don't go the other way round and just pretending as if they were not there. I can't see any reason why a casual gamer would hate e.g. Bel'shir Beach. None. | ||

It says so if you read the whole post and don't take one quote out of context. | ||
