Rip searing crater ff abuse u will be missed I feel this was the only map that may have been toss favored so of course It gets axed after 1 season. atleast typoon is gone finally...wish they would have added a gsl map like daybreak or xelnaga fortress.

Hurray, thanks for listening, Blizzard! I love you now and forever unconditionally (as long as you keep doing what we, the players, want)! Many loves!

If they removed close spawns on this map, i'd suggest you guys take a look at the shattered temple that's in the pool, see if that still has close spawns!

Lol exactly 3 maps I have voted down :D

I guess they heard all the rage from the community and decided to make some changes. Now I can veto metalopolis and shattered from map pool, cause they won't ever remove close pos anyways.

I really hope the bug is on SEA's side rather than NA, because this is a great map pool.

Sounds awesome.
I will only have to veto 1 map now, Tal darim altar.
It's an awesome map but I just refuse to play PvP on it ever again.

So blizzard removes it due to certain position imbalances, then adds it back in without a single word. Slightly contradictory, but fine by me.

Let's hope the change was intented and that they are making room for tournament maps. That would GREATLY boost my activity on the ladder for sure (probably of the streaming pros as well).

Keep updating on the spawn positions guys. If close pos is indeed removed, it can't be a bug or anything..

It appears that Blizzard has in fact removed close positions as verified in the Map Editor.

Exhibit A: Old Metalopolis spawning placements

Exhibit B: New Metalopolis spawning placements

I'd be happy to screenshot all of the spawning placements, but you can verify this for yourself by opening the new Metalopolis in the Map Editor.

I have no idea if Searing crater was favored for any race, but I doubt they cut it because it was protoss favored. Simply put it was the worst map since lost temple/kulas ravine/dessert oasis.

Does that mean no close on shattered, and the others too?

Grrr..no change yet on sea, seems like this might have been a sudden change. Looks like they're trying to see what to do to get people back on the ladder.
