I really don't like these increasingly larger maps. Protoss have gotten to a point where the abuse of warp gates and hidden proxies are fucking impossible to scout and defend with these large maps. That coupled with the fact that if they see a push coming, they have that much more time to get up sentries, units, colossi, etc. Don't mind my Terran qq though. >_>

Yeah on second thought, Condemned Ridge looks just horrible for zerg. I'll be vetoing that as a replacement for vetoing narrow Metalopolis. Sigh blizzard why do you do this to me every season. Replace one map I don't like with another.

Condemned looks OK, but I'm glad that they removed Korhal Compound, for some reason I absolutely hated that map >.>

Not really concerned about the new 2v2 map though, haha.

Have they really been unable to fix the performance issues on Metropolis over a whole season?

Why is Metalopolis out? I was hoping Tal'darim Altar would be out since Zerg has the disadvantage in getting their 3rd.

And Korhal Compound, they haven't considered the Korhal Compound TE version? [tournament edition]

This. They haven't considered LE-ing the Metropolis Lite version?

The new map looks a lot like a flipped version of Entombed Valley.

Condemned Ridge is looking sweet , from a protoss view. I guess blizzard made this map. They should get more community maps or possibly GSL maps.

Metal is FINALLY out! OMG YES! I just hate that map...

Korhal Compound was also kind of annoying but the main thing I am happy about is Metal being taken out. I like the new map as well, it reminds me of Shakuras and there aren't enough 4 player maps on ladder anymore..

The 2v2 maps I am kind of happy about as well.. I absolutely HATE discord IV, and High Orbit can be rather annoying as well.

Soliloquy.

Metalolpolis was a great map but its bin in the map pool for to long. Condemned ridge seems pretty interesting and looks like a decent map i like the rocks covering the third to prevent a fast third from Zerg and i also like the high ground behind the third where tanks could be placed to harass but there is a ramp to that high ground so it's not as bad as the lost temple high ground. I am a bit concern with the map pool in general though I think they should have at least 10 maps and currently they have 9 and with this update it looks like it will be 8 which i don't believe is a good thing. there should be more variation in the maps and more maps in my opinion but i digress. I'm not much of a 2v2 player but desolate strong hold looks really interesting especially because the players share a high ground and there is 4 gold bases which would be great for 2v2.

It is hugely zergfavored and has been in the pool forever

Because Metalopolis is Zerg heaven. ZvT balance on that map is abysmal. But I would not mind having Tal'darim removed either.

Also thank god Korhal is out. Now I have 2 free vetos, but I have a feeling the new ladder map will have to be insta-veto.

Was there a specific reason that we don't have a winter map tileset? I faintly remember hearing one, but I can't remember if it was official or just rumor.
