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?

It is hugely zergfavored and has been in the pool forever


It's actually not zerg favored its favored for toss pvz, and terran tvz (unless it's cross positions that's the only position it favors zerg zvt).

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
When I think of something else, something will go here

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

Rocks on the third...thanks blizz...sincerely Zerg players everywhere


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

Not really sure how I feel about condemned ridge... as a Terran, I guess it's kinda cool to have what seems like will be a Terran-favoured map, but eh...

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.

It's always hot in 2v2. But at least we have another macro map.

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.

really nice that KCLE and metal are out. metal just felt extremely dated and korhal never played too well at most stages of the game in any matchup :/

Glad Korhal Compound is out. That map made defending against counterattacks virtually impossible. Never had much of a problem with Metalopolis though there was absolutely no reason to ever not take the Gold as your 3rd unless you were significantly behind in Army supply.

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

Damn I just got insanely hyped staring at Desolate Fortress thinking it was a 1v1 map, wondering about how this map would screw up standard play and the really build copycats would whine about how terrible it was while it would be brain-numbingly awesome.

Maps being removed:

(4) Metalopolis

Metalopolis simply isn’t being used in tournaments anymore, and this map has some balance issues as well. (4)Metropolis LE is an improved version of this map that will see use in a future ladder season.

Why can't we get word on Metropolis? Why don't they give us that map instead of that debacle on the first page?

We hope that this "potentially tournament viable map, suitable for macro style play" is good even though the rocks are at the third making PvZ on this map like it is on Tal'darim Altar: vetoed.

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!!! ^___^

That new map is awful, rofl blizzard and their destructible rocks. That is immediately going on my veto list.


I don/t think you understand, ZvP is imbalanced everywhere but Korea supposedly. So toss will get their natural and zergs will have to wait before a third.

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 :/
