About GSL or Kespa maps: meh. Maybe Caldeum and Abyssal city, definitely not Whirlwind. Maps that are getting larger and larger promote deathballism too much. We need more intense maps that have features that promote early and midgame aggression. Cloud Kingdom does this, Bel'Shir beach did this, but maps like TDA and Condemned and Metalopolis are just too damn huge to be especially attractive. Too much empty space to travel and too much time for opponent (read: zerg) to pump out all the units needed to deal with the aggression. | ||

People don't even hate because of the maps themselves, they hate because blizzard continues to ignore the obvious. There are people in korea who literally get paid to make good maps, there is an entire sub-community all about making maps, yet they choose to let whatever incompetent person at blizzard continue to make maps and they put them into a ladder pool they themselves said would be made more tournament like, I don't see any wol tournaments with the 2 new maps or condemned ridge. Yet I do see maps like whirlwind or abyssal city or even the new kespa maps being used. But hating obviously doesn't do shit otherwise we would have a good map pool by now, so lets just get some people to figure out how to run a private b.net 0.2. | ||

That being said, Twisted Vern seems pretty bad at first glance. In many cases the distance your opponents have to go to get to your expansions is almost the same you have to go. That is just stupid design. Backwater Complex looks fun but seems to also suffer from short distances and ambiguous base syndrome. The 1v1 maps are.... uninspiring. They had so many good maps to choose from and they decided to just throw these two in, I doubt we'll see them stick around for very long. Its about time they got rid of Shakuras and TDA though, just because they were getting stale. | ||

Edit: I'm glad Blizzard is continuing to produce maps. It's not like they refuse to incorporate community maps into the map pool, they just mix them in. I think this is better for diversity, even if it isn't perfect (which is why downranking exists)  | ||

Last one was what daybreak and cloud kingdom which are pretty old now. | ||
