I think it should be made clear that you DO NOT SPAWN IN THE AREA WITH THE BACK DOOR ROCKS on Arid Plateau . That would be where you would take your third/fourth depending on where you put your expos. You spawn in the positions opposite of that.

So I will veto Arid, looks like too many headaches.

My map pool wish list: Bel'Shir Beach, Dual Sight, Metalopolis, Antiga Shipyard, Crevasse, Daybreak, The Shattered Temple, Shakuras Plateau all Tournament maps using tournament settings. Those are the good maps anyway and Blizzard can throw in a couple extras as a test to see if they are good maps.



I wish people would stop asking for Dual Sight. It is one of the most imbalanced maps in tournament play...

Size: 150x120
Spots: 2, 8

Why won't they remove Xel'naga ? It's such a stupid map.

Arid looks really bad. I like the 4 player map, but 3 base turtle in PvZ is going to be insanely good.

The two player map looks like a balanced version of Xelnaga.

Lol, hellions on Arid are going to be funny, don't have to run 20 seconds out of your way to come in the side anymore.

just noticed that the new season 5 maps are already available on b.net.

Have they been out since launch? Are they making any edits before putting them in the ladder map pool?

They've been available for custom games as of approximately the time of the official Blizzard post. It's unlikely they'll make any changes to them before final release, since the new season is slated to start in just a few days.

The first one looks very Zerg favored, which doesn't make me happy considering I play Protoss...

The maps have been available to play for like a week or so. I found them by searching their names in the custom games list

Will def. veto the new maps (Zerg). Tried them a bit in customs, meh. So it will be the same maps for me as in season 4... Just give us GSL/MLG map pool already! (Minus XNC, Crevasse, Dual Sight).

Since I consider the current maps "meh" what's worse about the new maps that would make you veto them?

As a random player, I can safely say that Arid Plateau is heavily T favoured against Z, every time I get T, I just two rax, turtle into 3 bases asap, then timing before broodlords. EZ

I have them veto'd as well, but I am terran. I think it's more of the fact people don't want to learn new maps when all the current ladder maps are pretty okay so mediocre maps get veto because people don't want to bother with them.
