While that is certainly true anything tried to at least shake up meta game and try some different style maps is certainly a step in right direction. While most of those maps look completely unplayable at least it shows a willingness to experiment that a lot of tournaments are lacking at the moment.

Good news, but most of the map transitions don't work well on SC2, we'll have to see if KeSPA can pull it off
|
These new maps will make the OSL crazy to watch... OSL may have gotten another viewer, just because I want to see how these players play on these maps which are far from the standard layout (see Daybreak for a "typical layout")

Well these maps are certainly interesting. Considering how a lot of games have become really boring lately I hope maps like these will shake things up.

Aracanoid looks really big. I dont know how I feel about this. I mean map maker tried to make BW map into sc2 map before and it didnt go too smoothly. Such as fighting spirit and match point. I hope it goes well but my guts feeling just telling me it going to be alot of balance problem due to the high ground mechanics.
|
This is going to be interesting to say the least lol
|
cool, at least sounds better than their previous map pool -_-
Map pools in general need an overhaul. It's getting to the point where even Daybreak and Cloud Kingdom are getting stale =/
not a good sign.

out of all these I think only CalDeum and maybe good old Bifrost might make it...although I wish Arkanoid makes it...if it does make it I know for sure it will become a ladder map because Dustin Browder will probably have an orgasm over it.

not a good sign. This, the whole map pool feels stale to me at this point. This is one of the things I look forward to most when PL announced it was switching over. I was hoping for a new injection of maps to rotate through constantly!

for a moment i thought i saw Judgement Day
sigh, such a good map

they wan to kill the metagame and forge a new one with their maps..its next to impossible though since the world does not revolve around their maps like it did in BW.

omg looking forward to new metagames
|
Finally an organization with some balls. Time to see whether SC2's problems are the fault of the game or the fault of the maps.
|
There's always that weird brief period when a new map is introduced when players haven't figured it out, and do a lot of cheesy builds (particularly 4gate). This may make for a kind of lame viewing experience at first, but I hope the creation of all these new maps means osl is sticking around for the long haul. Hopefully we see some really neat stuff after players get acclimated to the new maps.

Nah, it's Proleague; OGN have their own separate map team to make maps for the OSL.
But I wouldn't be surprised if OGN scraps using ladder maps and go back to using the two KeSPA/two OGN map system of the past. It doesn't help Blizzard are lazy as fuck on updating the ladder pool.
