Oh shit didn't even notice this until they mentioned it on SOTG, Blizzard are doing themselves some real favours. Tournament inspired map pools are a great idea, long awaited.

So many map vetos cleared up, don't even have to really veto anything now.

Ditch Xel'Naga, its a bugger against a decent terran and i like antiga, it feels cozy with that easy third early

Why did Blizzard even keep their maps in there for so long? Why are there still two of their maps in there?? I don't get it. What's the point?

I wish they had removed xel'naga and thrown in something like daybreak, but hey, these changes aren't bad already :D

WHY WOULD THEY ADD METAL?? don't get me wrong i loved that map, but the game is not balanced for it anymore. Even with far spawns, everyone knows that favors zerg heavily and close spawn favors terran heavily. I'm so very confused . People can argue that its one of the most iconic maps, but I for one am going to check it, xelnaga, and taldarim altar all off. I have no want to play on maps that are either PvP wasteland (taldarim) or not really balanced to begin with. I play Obs on that map all the time and its so hard for the protoss to take advantage of that map. Its so difficult to hold that natural expo. I just don't get it.

This is so awesome! I hate the season 3 maps. I actually stopped playing SC2. This will bring me back.

so they added 1 map and took out 3? thats kind of lame, if i didnt want to play those maps i could have just vetod them, i dont think many ppl would veto many (if any) of the maps currently in the new map pool.

I'm still using 2 vetoes. Season 3 map pool was worse than season 1 IMO just b/c of the way the metagame has evolved.

This is the first time I have ever had a free veto, which means if I get tired of a map (Probably Antiga or Tal Darim) then I actually don't have to play it if I don't want to.

If the map pool is too big then it is simply too hard on the player to figure out what to do on every single map. It's like 8 maps now? IMO being physically required to play more than 5 would be just unfair, it's too much variation. All the power to the people who like variation, they don't have to veto anything as none of the maps are utterly god awful anymore. The problem was that if you didn't want to play on those maps you still had to, 3 vetoes wasn't anywhere near enough, esp with close position shattered.

Notice how you are actually able to veto the maps you don't want to play. Say they added metal, didn't get rid of close positions and didn't remove other 3 maps? I'm assuming you didn't like ALL of the 4 new ones, so really you are screwed when it comes to choice. Everyone has different opinions and the veto let's people do what they prefer and still have an enjoyable experience.

Overall good changes! No more free close position wins for me, but oh well.

I can't think of which map to downvote, which is a good thing.

Well I can say I veto'd the 3 maps I don't like (xelnaga/abyssal/nerazim or whatever). So happy with it all the maps I play now are maps I like which is so nice ^_^

Those 52 guys that voted NO should go to prison.
We finally have a tournament like map pool :D
Xel Nerazim and AC are still kinda bad imo but 3 veto are 3 veto and there is no close pos anymore.
A good strategy means leaving your opponent room to make mistakes
