I thought the purpose of the shorter seasons was not only to make people play more but to be able to balance the ladder, but nope, why replace maps when you have a giant pool of fantastic community-made maps on TL. Hell, they could've just searched "gsl" on their own custom game function lolololol.

Why cut the season to 2 months if they have no plans to introduce any new 1v1 maps? I mean really? Is it just solely to keep the GM ladder fresh? Really poor choice by blizzard. Hopefully this will be better explained at blizzcon.

I actually was excited for shorter seasons simply because of a fresh map pool.

This is rather disappointing to say the least.

Remove taldarim and searing crater. They are definetly the worst maps ever created; one is gigantic, and the other is retardely small. I actually like the new season 3 maps they added in, because they are all IMO the best size; not too small, and not too big.

honestly this is really stupid, they say they make seasons cus they notice more people play at the start? i hope that's not their only reason, cus anyone will know that if you make the seasons shorter, less people will play in the first couple weeks than in the first couple weeks of a much longer season

and the other reason is that there's new maps and shit... they don't play at the start of a new season just for the lulz of it >.>

Good thing I suppose, the current map pool is very favourable for FFE which is great for me.

I thought that was the whole reason for making this season so short. Obviously not it seems :/

Oh my god. What's the point in making short seasons if they aren't going to change the maps?....................

Blizzard does not cease to disappoint. I cannot believe they still try to force their maps upon us while all tournament use a completely different map pool, what company does that?

It just doesn't make any sense at all.
Totally Yes on the poll, it's the chance to see new maps and stuff but it seems that ain't going to happen with seasons being every 2 months.

The fact that TDA is big is why it's a good map. 90% of sc2 games ending on 2-3 bases is boring.

What the hell.

Put some gsl maps in. Or at the least get some map designers who actually understand the game. Some of the blizzard maps are just horrid. Searing crater(?) is just badddddddddddd.

it just feels like blizzard doesn't care anymore, maybe they are focusing to hots and other games but ffs wouldn't be that hard to hire few community map makers or korean ones to make some balanced maps for the ladder. Makes me sad;8
