They should have two new maps replacing the two oldest maps every season. Honestly, it's kind of ridiculous that this isn't happening already.


Or maybe remove two (one) most veto'ed maps each season. That's how we could keep good maps such as Cloud Kingdom until we really get better alternatives.

blizzard doesnt add gsl maps much like they dont actually listen to the pros they "consult with". they have posted that they rather take the advice of the developers who "see the big picture" vs the pros who have good but bias ideas. They literally have said we listen but dont care.




zergs protoss terrans ... every pro have different oppinions, coming from them only maps balanced on super high level come in, also having gsl maps in its fuckn boring same maps over and over again ... i like blizzard maps ! i think they do it right



k but when every pro gives the same feedback and there is a massive playerbase feedback for the same thing one hopes it gets fixed. close position spawns, small maps, rocks covering 3rds.... these are all horrible things that blizzard hasnt fixed fully


But not having all spawn positions is gonna confuse shitty players, they barely survived shakuras, same goes for shitty maps need something that is nice for bad players. I mean it's those guys we, for some reason that is just beyond me, want more of right? Blizz is just doing what appeals casuals, and when league of legends, one of the easiest multiplayer games of all time, has the biggest player base, you can't really blame blizz for fucking pros this hard...

I agree condemned ridge should be removed.


I would also love to see some kespa maps in the map pool, I feel like we need a lot more variety.

Not really. I'm pretty sure Blizzard said WoL would continue after HotS.


Sure it will continue but lack of map support. Perhaps they add some little changes but basically same maps for years to come.

Dear god... that sound really bad, as you say we will have the same map for fucking eons to come....

"Newkirk District" really reminds me of the BW Map "Ride of Valkyries", except in a more standard SC2 map format.

i feel they are just too big. i mean im all for bigger maps but they are maybe 3 hex too big on the main bases and i found in some of the games ive played today my ovie spread is amazing but there is too much space and all the games ive played on them has gone over 40 mins. . .3 games a day . .dude . . i could get in at least 12 before!

the maps are good but atm . . .too big and going to take some getting used to

WOW you are right to a certain extent, but ROV is a lot different because of the pathing, island, and top bases are cut off at the top so u can only get there by dropship or going all the way around, and also the huge top high ground and blocked off from the top base expos, it is similar but a lot different, not close enough imo.

I just realised that I miss old maps where they were so much more freestyle. I wish they would find ways to balance maps like Xel naga and stuff because personnally I enjoyed watching those games more
and i was like BANELINGS x 3

Oh yeah, when I went and watched Leenock vs Clide on the old Shakuras... Everyone complained about it at the time, but sometimes the games were a lot more interesting.
all's fair in love and melodies

Newkirk: will be a split map 200 v 200 turtle fest, or people will all in early to avoid it which will make for pretty uninteresting game play. If anything it's a downgrade from shakuras which at least had 'a way' to avoid the middle choke. Not that shakuras wasn't antiquated, just that this map isn't a suitable replacement.

Akilon: My biggest complaint would be it's uninteresting and drab. The 'two choices for a third' promotion they gave it will likely not live up to it, one or the other base will become 'the' choice for various reasons. Will have to see how it plays out it's 'better' mildly then tal, possibly better then shak, but if it is at all it's not by much.

Overall with so many other more competitive more interesting maps coming out of the leagues it's just hard to fathom why blizzard insists on trying to create their own in house maps. As it was put already a non blizzard ladder at least for competitive play is long overdue.

Have you played Newkirk before?

The middles pretty damn big so it's hard to split the map.

Super happy to finally see Shakuras gone. As for Tal'Darim I personally didn't mind it too much.
Now let's hope these new maps will be better. Condemned Ridge should've gone too though.

the most amazing thing about adding kespa maps to ladder (caldeum, bifrost, arkanoid) would be that I for the life of me am filled with extreme curiosity at which race would actually be deemed strongest on arkanoid


Ive seen all different people thinking each of the 3 races would be the overpowered one on arkanoid. Many think toss should be the weak one due to slower expanding but from what ive gathered toss has won 100% of their proleague games on arkanoid. God the map IMO seems so awesome would love to ladder on it.
