That would make me really, really nervous.

interesting. I don't really see why it's a big deal either way. If I had to choose i'd say 2 months was a bit short, maybe 3-5 would be solid. But either way, as long as the game play isn't effected then it doesn't really matter to me. Could be nice for a new GM every 2 months, as well as possible promotions for those having a hard time making the jump to a higher league.
Regardless, I still play starcraft. I still play the same amount. None of that has been effected, so it's all good with me!

Anything on which maps will be on for this season? Hope they remove Backwater, Abyssal Caverns and Nerazim crypt >.>

Probably a good idea with the way GM works, if seasons are too long then the league will stagnate and you'll have too many top 200 players in Master's.
This is true but couldn't they just alter the way GM works rather than changing the system for everyone?
Personally i'm not too sure how i feel about this. I kinda like short seasons but i feel as though 2 months may be too short.

Great. a fresh start. need that! after when season 3 started i got inn a bad slope just picked myself up. So a new season would be great!

Last season I had ridiculous win rates on Slag Pits and Delta Quadrant and they removed them. Based on that, expect to see Backwater and Shakura's go next

I know everyone vetoed it, and most have forgotten about it, but there's a map called Searing Crater :p
I think that'll be the first to go. But then again they've made so many WTF decisions regarding maps, you can't be certain...

I think shorters seasons are silly.
I don't have time to play all the time, so bam, I get a chance to come back on and the season is over. This makes seasons much less enjoyable and less competitive for me. And I like to use Starcraft as a competitive outlet, as I played college tennis and this is pretty damn fun and competitive.
Boo to shorter seasons

I have no idea why there is a 2 weeks hiatus between seasons, but it totally kills my mood

This is a dumb question, but what does the ladder being locked mean? My friends are still laddering and getting / losing points. Does it just mean you can't get demoted or promoted? That hardly seems to matter... or has the ladder just not been locked yet?
So the actual reset happens two weeks later?

Correctomundo. You can still gain/lose points, but you cannot raise/drop leagues.
So basically, if you want to switch races for next season you can tank your MMR now. In your "carrer page" you'll still finish as "masters" (albeit at like rank#99) even though your MMR will be roughly bronze-silver level next season.
The ladder is locked now.

Except if you wanted to do this, it would need to be very discreetly since throwing games is bannable now.

Does anyone have source for wether or not they will add new maps?

Well, considering they've added new maps to the scene after every Season so far, I would say there is a very high chance we'll be seeing new maps for Season 4.

So true! I am thinking of the maps I hope they rotate out and I totally forgot about this map because I down voted that crap down so hard that I think it fell off battle.net

Why would 2 month seasons be bad? if anything, it produces more excitement and prevents league stagnation with rerolls every two months. I can't think of a single reason why we need 6 month seasons.

Taken. However every time they have done this they have (to my knowledge) tested the maps beforehand on the PTR. In addition to the fact that they haven't actually stated anywhere that they are adding new maps, this makes me a little unsure about it.
If anyone has seen them actually say they will, I'd be very interested in seeing that.
