OMG, Blizzard listened directly to the community, XNC still a shitty map, however since its still used in many tournaments, their decision to keep is logical

It's only used in tournaments BECAUSE it's in the ladder map pool. Removing it would be splendid.

I would say that's untrue. It was picked up by tournaments at the inception of SC2 and has been kept since because it is agreed that it is one of the more "balanced" maps. At least to me this is seemingly true.

why did they keep xelnaga cavern ? such an horrible map
they need to remove the fucking gold minerals -_-


Don't know why you think that, but according to all professional Korean mapmakers, Xelnaga Caverns is the most balance Blizzard made map.

I feel like this was something that should have been done long ago, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't incredibly happy, THANKS BLIZZ!!!

I don't understand why they put metalopolis back in the map pool when it was proven by blizzard itself to be GROSSLY favored towards zerg AND they removed close spawns which I'm sure was the reason for the majority of zerg losses there.

Easy veto for me, I'm a bit confused by blizzard's decision

edit: Old maps definitly had to go, and I'm glad blizzard is thinking of adding more tourney maps... good approach

I wonder if this was at all influenced by Kennigit's interview with Dustin Browder. He did seem legitimately concerned about the map pool situation in their discussion. Anyway, thank you for finally getting your shit together Blizzard.

At first I thought this was a troll topic. I kinda liked Typhon, but this is awesomeness. Hopefully even better maps to come!

I wish they would have added gsl/iccup maps personally, but I guess this is good enough

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.

Does this mean that there'll be neutral lowered supply depots at the bottom of the ramp like in MLG? That would be a cool feature to have.

Should've taken Nerazim Crypt out and kept Backwater gulch with only cross positions enabled.
It's a decent map in my experience and i've had quite a few good games on there.
I suppose that's my only real complaint. Abyssal Caverns should be renamed Abysmal Caverns and Nerazim Crypt is awful but I can veto those.
The rest of the pool is sweet.

Hopefully the lack of close spawns will somewhat deter the disgusting amount of all ins I have to endure on ladder, (though, close spawns or not, some people are just devoted to their cheese).

All in all a welcome change.

This makes me want to send Blizzard a thank-you bouquet. To show that I care that they care.
