upon closer inspection, these maps are still fucking rubbish.

Two vetoes out, two vetoes in. GG idiots.


I like how we have the same attack paths from Abyssal Caverns, which I fucking hated. The main route covered by the watch tower, the long winding hallway and the Gold path (now blocked 2 fold by DEM ROCCKSS).

This is how I imagine it went down at Blizzard office.

"Hm, we need a good 2 player map and a good 4 player map to replace Abyssal and Nerazim in our next ladder season. Hey! I know! Instead of using Daybreak and Calm Before the Storm, two well-tested and well-received maps from the GSL, lets make our own terrible maps and confirm how retarded we are!"

fucking pathetic.

That is all.

Did we expect any less? Blizzard believes the grand illusion that they are actually good mapmakers.

Losing the 2 shitty maps and getting one that looks pretty solid, now all we need is to get rid of xelnaga and we are set

2 player map looks kinda silly, 4 player looks totally sweet. I really like Nerazim Crypt, disappointed by it's removal. I'd rather them get rid of antiga.

Overall, even though i barely played in s4, I think the map pool was very well done and I expect s5 to be no different. Good work blizz!

yeah I think XNC has just run it's course. It was an OK map that wasn't horrible or fantastic, just lead to a lot of boring games. Either 10 minute quick ones or drawn out stalemates that don't have any sort of big epic center clashes like shakuras.

All I heard was "TL Open" -> "...have a chance to be included in future ladder seasons."

YAAAAA!! That's awesome. Gap. Bridged.

Take away two of my vetoed maps, use them on the 2 new maps.

I don't think any of the TL Map Contest maps will make it into ladder, since they didn't have enough destructible rocks.

I think we should go with my idea for the Dustin Browder's Players Improving Maps Program.

Through the Dustin Browder's P.I.M.P. we can teach our mapmakers how to create proper maps with rocks everywhere.

Not a fan of Arid Plateau at all. Not too sure what I think of the 4 player map. Will want to play that one a bit, but I don't see Arid being fun. Will give it the chance it deserves though. (till I lose on it probably and rage xD)

Stop expecting daybreak it has a nonstandard expansion they will never use it unless someone can convince Browder or david kim that they are wrong about the majority of players not being able to handle or plan for something like that.

They probably disqualify calm for the "games will be decided by hidden bases at most skill levels to much" that Browder gave so you need to convince them that people will learn to patrol a worker around the bases or something.

Despite all the shit I will give Blizzard for these maps, and all the complaining about them I'm going to share with my friends and ladder opponents, I'm glad they're seriously considering putting in community maps.
