Whirlwind looks really big. I like the design of it though, and 3rd and 4th don't look too hard to defend since you can shuffle your forces back and fourth. It should make for some awesome games, not to mention it's a very pretty map. Muspelheim looks a bit linear though. Guess I'll see how it plays out.

Edit: Is Whirlwind a spiritual remake of a Brood War map?

It's team league, big map pools are fine.

Jacky's just trolling casters by calling his new map Muspelheim right? =p

Looks like we finally lose Bel'Shir and Dual Sight, farewell to both, you each gave us some great games but you'd run your course.

GSTL is bo9, so it needs 9 maps lol

9 maps to practice... Thats a lot for a pro. If we want intelligent strategies that revolve around the map pool we need to reduce our map pools to at least 5 or 6

YES, I knew they were gonna pick Whirlwind at some point, played it like three months ago I think, its a freaking huge map, the biggest I have ever seen!

Too many maps. As for the new maps, the one has a really fucked up name :/ I'll call it MSH. The highground pods are kind of weird. I don't really feel they have as much of a function in the map design, as holding them probably isn't going to give you a big benifit. For instance holding the pods on a map like Match POint was really critical. The high ground here seems just more of a random little bit.

Whirlwind looks cool. The thirds are reasonable, not to hard to take and not to easy. IT seems like its going to be super easy to get a 4th gas though, so this map may be pretty protoss favored.

I would like to see some maps taken out of the pool

Entombed is a bad map and pretty imbalanced and way too good for protoss
Cloud kingdom is a cool map, but PvT balance is really bad there.
Atlantis is zerg favored, so might be a good candidate to go.

I ain't gonna lie, I have no idea in hell how to pronounce Jacky's map, I just call it "Jacky's new 2p map".

I like it. Getting rid of the old maps is always good. It would be great if they could remove Entombed Valley and maybe add another ESV or TPW map.

Whirlwind looks really really big, I hope it doesn't turn every single game into an 'everyone go town hall first' game.

Both new maps look a bit ridiculous. What happened to open maps? Whirlwind close spawns favour strong 2 base pushes excessively on a map full of choke points, and the second map has ramps fucking everywhere.

This is a team league. This is why you have snipers practice certain maps/matchups.

Hm... I'm thinking Whirlwind needs to be cross only, it seems as though you can (in TvT) siege the 7 and 1 o' clock third (at from the fourth in horizontal positions). Maybe not, it just looks that way.
There's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep trying till you run out of cake.

stop trolling, whirlwing is one of the most open maps ever and muspelheim has only few chokes

Agree, Atlantis is awesome and so young map.
I'd rather wanted to see Antiga and Entombed go, they are so straight and simple. Other maps are so good!

Please don't treat team leagues like individual ones. Players train and practice to be sent out on certain maps or against certain opponents. You aren't practicing for every single possible scenario, you approach it as a team.

Too big and open mostly, certainly Terrans just toss the coin and proxy a lot on it so far

I think the new maps look really good. I like the look on the thirds!

Seems like Mech will be good on the maps! :D
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3
