wow, this is great news for me. i hope the changes are the same in eu as well.

vertical positions on typhon and backwater versus terran was tough for me, and i don't think i won a game on searing crater at all. of course every loss on these maps are due to some fundamental shortcoming in my play, but the other maps didn't highlight them as frequently.

i didn't know metal was zerg favoured (according to tlpd it seems it's not), but it is my favourite map on the ladder so far, so maybe there's something to those claims.
conspired against by a confederacy of dunces.

The big news is that they removed close spawn, the news changed from "yeah whatever, metalopolis close spawn is horrible" to "yeaah map pool is getting decent"

maybe they made the decision too late for it to affect SEA and they will do a minor patch to change it for SEA?

the anticlimatic rushing in every game at blizzcon must of finally got them to look at the close spawn issue!

It was Zerg favored across all regions in Master's and Grandmaster's on the Ladder.

Tournament results are likely different.

Some hero at Blizzard probably snuck these changes in at the last minute after the Blizzcon complaints.

To all who are mad they reduced the number of maps in the map pool:

It makes complete sense since they reduce the lenght of the season. Throwing in like 4 new maps and have a big map pool makes it harder to get to know all maps in just 2 months, when they change again. In my opinion its better to swap maybe 2 maps each season, the rotation will pretty much be the same anyways. So instead of having to practise many new maps each season, one can focus on just a few. This will propbably also improve the quality of the pool in general, as the don't have to add som many untested/bad maps every season.

Backwater is a nice map, i will never understand why people don't like it.


Yeah, I never really understood the hate for this map, I found it pretty decent after the natural ramp change, I would rather have had Abyssal Caverns removed.

Oh well, not a big deal anyways, its a step in the right direction, even if it's a bit dumb to remove close pos on metal/shattered 3 days after blizzcon -_-'

Having a map or two added into the pool * Daybreak * could have been nice, but they are probably waiting for the results of the TL map contest to do so.

I don't really hate Typhoon Peaks as zerg because it's not impossible. You can win if you outplay your opponent.

2 close spawn maps now


Ive never noticed anything wrong with typhon but people always complain about it. Anybody care to elaborate on why they dont like it.

After a huge topic about it, this was the biggest complaint:

- It is ugly.

So yeah, people are morons
