Awesome!

Pity Xel'naga is still in (I hate that map). But great changes!
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

just veto metal if you don't like it, I have so many free vetoes now im not even using one, which is itself a bit of a sign that Blizzard is doing something right.
I could spend a while with that smile

I'm glad they this, but this should be standard for Blizz if they want to support the competitive community. There should be no close spawn positions similar to shattered/metal on any 4 player map. And just because they got rid of the crap maps, doesn't make this map-pool the greatest.

Yeah it's nice, but would love to see more variety in here as well. (day break, terminus, crevasse, testbug, etc)
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

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.


Metal isn't insanely imbalanced rofl.
When I think of something else, something will go here

i know im very much in the minority but i dont like this map pool. why is everybody so anal about perfect balance? i always like it when they put in new maps with new tile sets to keep it fresh.
i just dont see myself having fun playing on metalopolis and xelnaga for the 6 millionth time. im only diamond but most of the time i lose because i played bad not because the map was imbalanced.
so new season- new maps, i would like that. but i guess everybody on this forum is in grandmaster league and an aspiring professional gamer, so everybody "WOLLT IHR DIE TOTALE BALANCE?" :p

Wow, all of my vetos were removed! Great changes in my opinion. I would however like to see some of the more popular GSL and ICCup maps added to the pool.

catastrophic quote...

@your point: I want to play balanced maps, yes - does it effect me 100% of the times, ofc not, I'm way to bad at sc2, but it's nice they finally see the problem and maybe in the future we will see new AND balanced maps. For now I'm more than happy with the mappool

i was trying to highlight that there is quite a bit of peer pressure and that everybody has to obey to the fashist reign of balance lol. sorry about the quote though.

Well this makes me feel like the map pool will just keep getting better. Definitely good news.

We don't need old maps back we need new ones entirely. If BW taught is anything its that we need new maps very often.

What is more important then the map poll is that blizzard is doing what is best for esports in this case. Something is telling me Dustin Browder has woken up to just how big sc2 esports is and that they got to do all they can to support it. Since this was a last minute change it really feels like this was the first thing he told the guys to do as they returned to their office after blizzcon.

I got a strong feeling blizzard will start supporting esports in a much more active roll from now on, tournament lan support, watching replays with friends etc just got put into focus over at blizz hq (yes I know I am being a little bit to optimistic

I really wonder if this is somehow related to the TL interview with Dustin Browder. He seemed very thoughtful after the map question... or he just didn't want to announce those changes too early :p

Liking the changes, disabling close spawns is so great.

Who says Blizzard can't do anything right?
