Definitely going to be interesting to see how these things work out. A lot of work will have to go down in remaking them though, it's not like they can be ported over and instantly work.

Precisely, which leads me to why?

sc2 is a different game, so it's perfect to try out old concepts to see if they work with a new game. If anything, it'll spice things up and help give map makers all around a new, fresh perspective on map design and balance.

Remember, KeSPA players will be preparing for these maps for Proleague. These maps will be dissected to the very last detail o_o

Throw shit at the wall and see what sticks? :p


Not unlikely, and actually a pretty good idea. Something has to be done, anyway - why not this?

kespa teams normally test new maps, wonder if they did the same process with these.

This is awesome. For those of you worried about "bad ports", KeSPA isn't going to put an imbalanced map into a tournament, the teams will test them out and see how it goes.

bnet's system is that you have to publish these maps before you can actually play them w/ other players, so the testing period will start now or very very soon I guess. Changes and maps being dropped are definitely to be expected.

Proleague will remain Bo5 am I correct? I think they'll just pick the 5 most balanced maps out of these 7

I see that they are 8m 2g. I also saw a lack of Xel'naga towers in the maps. I like the idea of a brand new map pool, very interested to see any balance changes that are made to these maps as they get played.

Also, KeSPA is still trying to transition BW fans. What better way than picking maps with a RICH history and which have such an EMOTIONAL draw on spectators who witnessed UNBELIEVABLE battles on these same battlefields!!!

I've actually not heard anything about them changing the format. Bo5 could be very very short, though. Bo7 would be nice, at least.

Some of these new maps are going to fuck shit up so hard. I really hope they know what they're doing and don't implement some of them.

My guess would be Bo5, due to downsizing of teams and the fact that OGN sometimes has to broadcast 2 games in a row. Proleague was for the most part Bo5 anyways, and I don't think matches were too short
