I like the shorter seasons - had no time to play ladder during season 2 due to work, planned on starting again during summer....now there's all the more reason when a new season is starting and I don't have to worry about the annoyingly high bonus pool inflated ratings of everyone.

Also season 2 maps are bad (slag pits, delta quadrant, backdoor gulch, crap station..), season 3 maps can't be worse by all means.

Apparently David Kim is considering getting rid of close position maps entirely with Season 4, since they don't work. I don't know why he's putting maps like that in for Season 3 when he knows they're not great, but I imagine it's because Blizz is a huge-ass company that takes FOREVER to make even simple decisions (if you don't work with large companies, dude, you don't even fucking know how slow they are).

I think Tal'darim Altar will be cut. I know it is popular here but Blizzard wrote it was the map with the most downvotes.

Realyl it has the most downvotes? There are far worse maps in the pool atm, i kinda like TalDarim. Slagpits or crapstation just gotta go.

My comp broke on the 17th of march and i have not played any SC2 since (aka no season 2 games..including the placement)..so if i dont play my placement game for 1v1 in season 2, do i have 5 placement games and a reset mmr in season 3, or 1 placement and my mmr from season 1 or what?

Plus since I have a comp again can I just do my placements for my team games in season 2 and keep our mmr from season 1 into season 3? (dont want them to lose their mmr just cause my comp broke).

This could lead to an interesting socio-economic debate...democracy can only function - in theory - if the majority of the people are capable of understanding the subject they are voting on

This aside, I'm not too worried about Tal'darim. Blizz has explicitly stated they want to maintain the 3/3/3-system of rushbased, "normal", and macro-based maps. So noobs who only want to all-in each and every game can downvote the macro-maps....nobody gets hurt. If such thing was to determine which maps Blizz provides, then we would be playing 9 different versions of steppes of war.

You are forgetting that Blizzard explicitly called Slag Pits a macro map.

So, if you like play the Season 2 ladder maps, cherish what time you may have left. Anyone think that we might see a round of bans coming with the new season as well, given the recent very-public drop-hacking of top GM players?


Top GM players? Am I wrong in thinking that most of these hackers used trial keys to make new accounts under the nicks of well-known pros such as LiquidHaypro and then use drophack on those accounts? And that it was not the real pros themselves

The question everyone really wants to know is whether Artosis will finally make GM?

So do Blizzard think that we currently have 3 macro maps? As far as I can see we have Tal'Darim and then Metalopolis and Shakuras can be, depending on which spawns you get. Thats not really 3 when you consider that 2 of them become the most rush favouring maps in the pool with certain spawn positions.

You're absolutely right, but the fakers then faced some real pros on ladder and drophacked them. I saw a fake LiquidHuK facing iNcontroL on his stream and I'm sure many more genuine pros have faced the hackers.

What is the point of having 'seasons'? Does anything really happen when the season ends?
