I have no idea. Dont we have a version of Bel'shir beach being winter? Probably just holding it from us so they can have it as a "feature" in HoTS, all the previews have been on winter maps afaik? | ||

Glad to see korhal gone hated zvp on that map, metal thank god was sick of that map to, new map looks dumb and is instantly being veto'd :D | ||

Didn't pros complain that the brightness of winter maps hurt their eyes during long practice sessions? | ||

Also they removed metal for a season...why do people seem to forget that. I like the map but it rarely comes up so it still has some nice feelings for me. Tal darim needs to go next though....I've had it Veto'd for a year | ||

Even the design of the map, having it shifted mirrored; makes one cross spawn a longer rush distance than the other. Just seems really wonky in terms of trying to balance, since you'll have 4 different location situations rather than just 3 normally. Blah. | ||

Glad to see korhal gone hated zvp on that map, metal thank god was sick of that map to, new map looks dumb and is instantly being veto'd :D Metapolis was getting really old and it was a terrible map to play as Terran. Note this was actually confirmed when David Kim released something like 70% win rates for ZvT on this map. I wasn't at all surprised, since Terran relies on defending a small choke point and walling, something nearly impossible to do cost efficiently on meta. | ||

The new map looks interesting but the 3rd looks too imbalanced. It needs to have no rocks but also needs to be more vulnerable. | ||

See, I respect Blizzard and I think they're doing a great job with balance, and I like to think that they pay attention to how the matchups work, but then I see them put rocks at the third?  EDIT: ^^^ WELL I GUESS THERE ARE NO MORE ROCKS!!! ^___^ | ||

Im glad they are focusing on tournament style maps again  The rest of the world needs to start learning how to play. This new map is about as bad as they come. not really sure what blizz were doing here, much rather see some more ESV/community maps given a season or another map making competition help :/ | ||
