I noticed this immediately today. I love the change, now I only have to veto Antiga (zerg favored), and XNC(boring-old). I also love seeing metal back. I played my placement match on it and won. I used to think Metal was imbalanced but now I think it would be perfect if they got rid of close spawns. Same with Shattered.

It's such a good step! Maybe even with this thy could do tournaments over battle net since everyone is playing these. And I know people want new gsl maps but they are just starting this process with these maps so if we just support it well get what we want. Also vetos now make sense cause you can veto cause it's bad for your race not cause the map just sucks!

Thank you Blizz, thank you! I will not veto any maps, I love them all. Even as a Zerg I never minded the close spawns on Metal because I had a special two-base all-in build for it, but I'm happy to see it back in the map pool no matter what.

I would also like to throw my support behind adding Daybreak as well.

well...it is their fault that close spawns were in the game in the first place...

The poll is biased. There needs to be an option like "I didn't really want metalopolis back but at least searing crater is gone".

Yep, and it's a change made too late for Blizzcon ._. Blizzard should REALLY use the community to test their maps before they release them.

Wow interesting to see a complete reversal of their ladder map philosophy.
If they planned this why in the he'll wouldn't they use this pool for their tournament
Mind boggling.

I like these changes to the map pool. I've veto'd the non-tournament maps and XNC as a Zerg, and I was tossing up wether or not I should use my 3rd veto(Nerazim crypts doesn't bother me.)
