Daybreak, Crossfire, Crevasse and Desert Oasis are awesome maps that i would like to see in the ladder pool. That's right, i didn't forget about DO!
SC2 Archon needs "Terrible, terrible damage" as one of it's quotes.

Lol Metalopolis, and I was looking to play some games this season. At least I can veto it, but the amount of beta maps in the pool is just -.-;;


Whaaaaaaa?! Why would you ever veto Metalopolis?! Over half of the most fun games I've ever played happened on this map!

Well they did remove it because Zerg had a 60% win rate on non-close positions.

Actually zerg had 60% win ratio including close positions. Without it I'd guess it was even higher.

I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to this map pool! If it's true that close spawns have indeed been removed, then props to Blizz!

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.


This is MIND BOGGLING.

How on earth could they allow close spawn just 4 days ago in a tournament GRAND FINAL, and then with the new season REMOVE IT?

Holy shit that's insane. That means Metalopolis was not added to the map pool by mistake.

I just wonder why wasn't there any announcement - maybe they were convinced to do that at blizzcon and decided to try it out of nowhere? Still pretty awesome imo.

Maybe someone got pissed on Saturday and yelled at someone else over what happened.

I always felt like I didn't have enough Vetos. I'm soooo glad to see those maps gone.

Metalopolis back doesn't excite me even as zerg.... at least I can play a macro game on it but it's another one of those maps where Zerg can never ever take the gold ever, and you're basically helpless if your opponent does.

Blizz are really awesome people, saying no changes to s4 1v1 pool and then suprising us with this. Haven't played on meta yet, but I'm getting tears just thinking about how much I missed that map in s3.

Meta back and no close positions...? This is almost too good to be true! Has anyone checked if Shattered still has close pos? Awesome news!
