I'm against Winter Belshir Beach. Can't practice for hours on such a map, the tileset is way too bright.

I like that the map creators are attempting what they did in Brood War by balancing through maps. Blizzard just apparently can't get a clue when it comes to maps.

From a balance standpoint, getting rid of gold makes sense, but I liked the variety and the opportunity for risky strats that the gold added. I hope Blizzard makes it so that gold isn't so Terran-favored in HotS so they can bring back gold expos.

I really dislike the change to winter Bel'shir, the original looked much much nicer.
For the swarm!

Im liking this non-gold approach GSL has been taking. It will be interesting to see how this influences gameplay.

I love the Bel`shir Beach becoming a Winter map.

It's a little thing, but that's such good thinking.

Winter Bel'shir is nice and I look forward to seeing what kind of games calm before the storm produces. I guess the removal of gold bases was inevitable due to imbalance but I will miss the spectator aspect of them from terrans trying to sneakily take their opponents gold in TvT to bold zerg going hatch first to the gold on Antiga. Battles to defend golds and tense moments passing while you wait for players to notice hidden golds made games really exciting sometimes. Of course watching one player power past another because they failed to scout or opened poorly against a fast gold can suck the fun right out of a game as well.

I really wish GSL would start using foreigner maps.... Sort of amazes me there's no outcry for the GSL to do so, people freaked out when foreigners were not joining to play, why not the maps?

Love the no golds thing though, going to be paying VERY close attention to this season to see how it plays out.

Calm before the storm looks like a 4 player crossfire with an easier 3rd but seems like awesome changes go go GSL!

YES, we are finally getting AWESOME map names. No more belshir, xelnaga, taldarim crap. Bring in names like 'calm before the storm'. Hope to have a map with as cool a name as 'Benzene'.

Haha just when blizzard ladder starts getting closer to most tourney maps they change it. I can see already "Blizzard, all tourneys removed gold expos so why do you continue to put them in your maps" I know it's just GSL right now but I bet most other follow suit if this ends up working out. Cool to see it resemble more of BW without golds.

Because no one uses foreigner maps besides you.

Except for Testbug I guess.

Is it wrong to be more excited about this than the actual pool we will watch?

Oh wow the Calm Before The Storm reminds me so much of Luna, except you have a backdoor expansion. Pretty neat, albeit I'm sure winter Belshir is a bitch to play on because of the blinding whiteness~ T_T
