From Blizzard
After reviewing player feedback, we’ve selected a 1v1 map pool composed of tournament-configured maps for the upcoming Season 4 of the StarCraft II ladder.
Six of the eight total maps in the Season 4 1v1 map pool will be maps that have been used in tournaments around the world. In addition, Shattered Temple and Metalopolis will be returning to the map pool, with close spawn positions disabled. Two non-tournament maps -- Abyssal
Caverns and Nerazim Crypt -- will also be included. Players can veto these two non-tournament maps and still have a single veto remaining for the remaining maps, just as a player would in a major tournament.
These maps will be removed:
(Wiki2)Backwater Gulch
(Wiki2)Searing Crater
(Wiki2)Typhon Peaks
These maps will form the new 1v1 map pool:
(Wiki2)Abyssal Caverns (non-tournament)
(Wiki2)Antiga Shipyard
(Wiki2)Metalopolis (close spawns disabled)
(Wiki2)Nerazim Crypt (non-tournament)
(Wiki2)Shakuras Plateau
(Wiki2)Shattered Temple (close spawns disabled)
(Wiki2)Tal’darim Altar LE
(Wiki2)Xel’naga Caverns
Depending on the feedback we receive regarding this approach to the 1v1 ladder map pool, we may move further toward a tournament-configured map format in future ladder seasons. We look forward to hearing what you think, and we hope you all have a great Season 4!

EDIT- Confirmed! This is true on the NA server! they cut all of my vetoes!! rejoice brothers!

|
Wow, I hope this is true. Searing Crater was pretty ridiculous so I 7rr every time on it... 
|

Why in the FUCK did they add Metalopolis back in? No changes at all to it, from the looks of the picture.

looking at the map pool right now .... US season 4 must have just started within the last hour or so

SEA already reset and the maps havent changed

I think that Typhon Peaks and Backwater Gulch were my two Thumbs Down maps ^^ Now I can sleep more peacefully at night ♥
Why no new maps? 
EDIT: I just went on NA, and can confirm that the map pool is smaller -.-'

anyways this actually takes away most of my downvotes. so im glad their picking out the terrible ladder maps. now close positions!

My day, has just been made.
Thank god for Metal being back <3

This is amazing, thanks Blizz. Quite like there to be some additions to the map pool though, 8 maps seems a bit bare. Hope maybe 1 or 2 nice new ones maybe community or gsl ones ?!?!?!?
