When I play my placement match today, I will be sad to know that I have no chance of playing on metalopolis .
Will seriously miss Metalopolis, one of my favorite maps.
Hopefully it will be like Shakuras and come back soon !

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'.


Noob fuck in denial. Zerg dominating left and right. Zerg nerf incomming shortly when maps aren't fixing the trend.

Maps being old should be a good enough reason to remove them.

We need fresh maps, really the entire map pool should be rotated every 2 seasons.

Could not imagine proleague if they didn't completely replace the map pool every season.

Between the close-spawn problems and Blizzard's obvious reluctance to put maps without rocks in the pool, I thought - hey! I can kill both birds, as it were, with one stone!

Metalopolis was the oldest map so it was expected. Next season will be probably removed XNC, Shakuras Plateau + some of the new maps, because nobody would play them.

metalopolis was by far the most zerg favored map there was, no other map has so safe 3rd base for Z..

A few were saying how cross positions are imbalanced, in favor of zerg. Care to explain?

Wow, sad to see Metalopolis removed although with the close spawn positions issue it's not really suprising (mainly because the majority, if not all tournament formats choose a version of Metalopolis that has close-spawns disabled and therefore not the official Blizzard version)

Would be nice if they released the new maps earlier so we can have some time to play on them, however im sure many of us with play some vs AI games before hand to get a feel for the season 3 additions :D

I don't know why people think it was imbalanced.
Terran has little advantage by taking gold which denied other gold and secured centre (compared to maps like Shakuras and other gold-less maps), but it's quite insignificant.
