Great job Blizzard. We appreciate your implementation!

Now these will hopefully replace metalopolis and xel naga, but I hope Shakuras will go as well. I really wish they'd bring back the new desert oasis, that map was awesome.

Not too long ago they finally eliminated close positions, now they're adding more tournament maps to the pool..

I think they're slowly getting it. Maybe a few months down the road, Daybreak will be in the pool finally :p

As far as I can see the ladder edition of korhal is unchanged.

I hope they remove xnc and metal. They are just way too old...

Yes, but good maps are able to have close position spawns and not have problems. It's a map design issue, not a balance one.

Aw too bad no daybreak or new GSL map (even if it were to replace tal'darim)

oh well, cloud kingdom i'm not too happy about, but that's simply cus im too lazy to learn that map lol, korhal looks simpler however and it has an easy look to it (not just strategically but visually) so yay :D

Hurray for 2 awesome maps into the pool!

ladder becoming more and more fun

I see no space shark on Korhal D:
Otherwise seems unchanged to me.

Korhal Compound LE looks to be identical to the original Korhal based off of my drone tour of the map.

in b4 blizzard modifies them with rocks and gold minerals so they will be 100x times worse

Well it is a start. I assume they are removing xel'naga and arid to switch out for these two maps?

Are you kidding me? I get to play Cloud Kingdom on ladder? This shows at least that they're moving in the right direction with maps which is fucking fantastic. The only thing that can ruin this would be adding rocks on the third or something.

The only thing that makes me sad is no Daybreak. I'd love to see Daybreak either replacing Metal or Tal'Darim. They're old and not as fun as they used to be.

Well, that'd be awesome if Cloud Kingdom and Korhal got into the mappool. I really want to see Xel'Naga out of the map pool along with Shattered. If there's one thing I like about these new, short seasons is the fact that we can see a lot of variety with maps, so the game doesn't get as boring.
