i loved metalopolis and scrap station. very nice maps.
i'm glad to see delta quadrant be removed though. hated it. slag pits was also an ugly map.
we'll see how the new maps look like.
it seems silly that there is only one 2 players map (xel'naga) left in the 1v1 map pool.

I think we all know the real reason blizzard removed meta. Meta has no rocks, therefore it must be removed!

A huuuuuge number of tournaments are committed to using Meta. If it's in their pool for the current season of their league/tourney, they have to keep it. So we'll still see plenty of it in pro games.

i actually really like the new maps, they seem balanced
Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.

Ok the new maps.... are sooooooooooooooo cluttered..

Theres rocks, blockers, brushes, hills, elevations, more rocks. EVERYWHERE.

The only uncluttered map is Abyssal Caverns which is a horrible map.

Seriously. rocks, brushes, hills, eleveations, more rocks, its really hurts to play on. So much stuff on these maps!! Very fussy gaming

NOT ENOUGH ............. ROCKS

Oh my god yes yes yes.

Removing Scrap, Slag, and DQ. OMG Yes.

Now all they have to do is add some GSL maps, and we'll be dandy.

The only sad thing about this is the need to still use a veto on backwater gulch. Can't wait to see how the new maps work out in season 3 and how tournaments will adjust their map pools. The real problem in Sc2 now is the chaos in tournament maps.

I am not young enough to know everything.

It seems to me that the imbalances for Taldarim was probably over ever league and every player. While I don't fault blizz for doing this, I doubt that Z has a 60% w/l ratio on the map, nor do I think that Z had a 60% w/l ratio on metal.

I was assuming either metal or XNC were going to go this season and I wish that it was XNC. Metal cross positions was a great game, didn't have the advantage of close by air for Z and didn't have a rush distance that literally spanned the third base. The other 3 maps were my veto list, hopefully I won't have a problem with the new maps, but according to some other posters in this thread, it will prolly suck.

I wonder what it would take to be able to have an ICCUP ladder that you can get on instead of the Blizzard ladder... that would be awesome.

I told people that Meta would go a long time ago....the reasoning is simple:

Blizz said that they only want 3 macro maps and consider Meta a macro-maps. They wouldn't remove tal'darim since it's the only map coming from the professional scene...they wouldn't remove shakuras either, since it has been reworked several times, which would have made the effort redundant. They wanted to introduce a new macro-map, therefore one had to go - Meta was the easy choice.

Nevertheless I really wanted to see Backwater Gulch go, oh well, at least with DQ and scrap station gone I have free thumb downs to use.

While I'm not sad that Metal is gone, claiming it's zerg favored like they did is fucking bullshit though. Maybe it is on the ladder, where zerg players MMR is lower than it should be because of the other bullshit maps, and when playing on an actual balanced map the zerg players true skill is allowed to show.

TLPD, both Korean and International, which is based on an even higher level than whatever they think the highest levels are, says it's pretty damn balanced. And they usually play fixed versions that are even more 'zerg favored' which really means 'not extremely zerg punishing'.
