I liked Typhon Peaks a lot and Backwater Gulch was "ok" for me. Never plyed Searing crater after looking at the map itself.

I hope its no testrun and EU will get those too. Im pretty pumped for noclosespawn shattered/metalopolis#

Thanks Blizzard!

I guess sea will need to wait for an update. I don't think its a bug as previously mentioned, since its unlikely that they have a new metalopolis if that was the case.

Was there even a zerg dominance on metal? They meant to say tal'darim no matter how I read it.

Yup, especially against protoss the natural was just way too hard to defend against Zerg.

Oh yeah another reason why I love this is that you can practice on maps you want to much easier, more specifically maps that are used in tournaments

hurray for TL interview and/or blizzard Q&A at blizzcon to help persuade them! And for community outcry on TL and bnet

Im not too pleased with the return of metal as a protoss player but the removal of close positions is a step in the right direction, im personally not too bothered by metal coming back as they have also cut my downvoted maps so ill have a few votes spare

Gj blizzard keep making smart decisions like this.

Wow, this map pool is a huge improvement from before, I have more vetoes than I need! Good to know they finally listened and removed close positions.
Hmm...guess I'll be vetoing Metalopolis though, but still glad to see it in place of all those other maps.

Wish they´d remove nerazin as well, but I´m happy without the close positions. Even as terran, being on close positions felt awkward.

Who else believes this change happened due to blizzard seeing nestea vs mvp on shattered temple close positions?
Close positions being imbalanced aside, blizzard got to witness first hand how boring it is to watch close positions unfold.
Nestea vs mvp was so hyped and then taken from us due to close positions enabled.

Glad they finally realized that close positions suck.

It's no fun if they take out maps but don't put in good ones!!!
