Sc2 ladder has been nothing but a disappointment for me so far, I had a much better time laddering in wc3, even though the matchmaking system is so much better in sc2. I hope my skill won't drop too much by the time the expansion is released, but then again, that might be a blessing in disguise. Stuck in master league and unwilling to practice hard enough to actually get into GM, it's just too much work, I hope I drop to platinum skill level so I have a goal when laddering again  I hope they fix these maps for you active people, for now, I'll stick to watching replays/streams. | ||

Have they said as much? | ||

They most likely are not removing close positions, if they do it's just removing the entire map (Metal and ST)...I know David thinks Tal'darim is Toss favored and Zerg Favored Cross positions in ZvT... .. I doubt they will remove Tal'Darim though.. No official word yet though...Chances are you will run out of vetoes though.  | ||

You mean they took one, added rocks, changed the expansions and the chokes and then added it. | ||

I want footage. I want to see how Zerg wins with Terran using all of the map aids that are featured. And I don't mean go light, I mean real ladder style. Bunker rush into Siege pressure from a chasm away. I want to see how an equally skilled Zerg and Terran play so I can say, it's not the map, it's me! Until then, it's the damn map. Longinus 2.1 SC2 Edition  From what I see and what I perceive, it'll take a hero to show us we can win on these maps with equals. | ||

Also I think it's kind of retarded of Blizzard to make dedeicated "rush"-maps T_T Figuring such things out should be left to the players imo~ | ||

While the system itself is really good (i think so at least), the mappool is atrocious. Every tournament that wants to be taken serious isn't using Blizzard maps, so it's incredible tough to practice them really thouroughly. I would be so incredible annoyed. On top of it, the GSL produces many maps, yet Blizzard thinks they have to create their own shitty stuff. Their approach is mindboggling. | ||

(not all the time obv but it's not impossible or anything). their mentality towards maps is mindboggling | ||
