What's the difference between a "tournament" map and a "non-tournament" map? is it just "used in tournaments" vs "not used in tournaments," or something more fundamental?
|
I am actually so happy this is true. I don't mind playing those "zerg favoured" maps at all.
|
Great choice by blizzard.
|
Blizzard listened. <3<3<3<3
I'm so glad Metalopolis is back. I like playing that map in all matchups. I've been practicing on it a lot lately as Zerg anyway so this is a bonus.
|
Well, finally Blizzard listened. Actually what is most interesting now is the possibility of pushing user maps on to the ladder. Did anybody else see the interview with Dustin Browder on Reddit? There were some great questions asked..

Because you and I are TOTALLY GSL level players. But you're right, I'm not looking at the bright side. I'll still be able to win 20% of those games...

Blizzard could not have been more right with this move, and the poll in the OP shows.
Keep on listening to us Blizzard, and you will be hailed as awesome as you actually are.
|
Please tell me this isn't a troll, I am so happy right now!
|

Blizz taking huge steps toward tourney friendly practice? listning to players? oh glorious day!

Late tuesday night/early wednesday morning.

First I heard about Searing Crater, Typhon Peaks and Backwater Gulch being removed, it made me really happy.
Then when I heard the close positions got removed on Shattered Temple and Metalopolis, I was even happier :D
Great job by Blizzard!
|
This is fantastic, a great response to what the community wants. Hopefully blizzard will continue the practice!
Edit: although, I really did like Typhon Peaks. Oh well, they can't satisfy everyone all the time.
|
I don't really understand the logic behind adding metal back in while also removing close pos. 60% imbalance wasn't enough?
In general, I like removing the close positions, but putting a heavily imbalanced map back in the pool(which was horribly boring to boot, with the xel naga towers in the middle + limited ground) is just stupid.
