I don't even care if these maps are absolutely garbage, I'm just glad to have new maps.

just to say. akilon isn't entirely garbage. ive had a lot of good games in hots on this map. and that's probably because its blizzards best attempt at a map that resembles alot of the community made maps.

its still ridiculous that they continue to shun us, but im not surprised. ive long said they will only use their maps for the first little while, if not year, of hots.

Happy they didn't add any GSL maps, rush distances on those maps make it impossible to play Terran.

I'm like so sad right now. I'll have to UN-veto one of my current vetos and I don't even have Antiga veto'ed atm which I would really like. So fucking dissapointed in Blizzard...

finally shak and tda are gone, though i will miss nuking zerg's main on shak early game XD

is relatively easy to split in half for the late game.


I'm hoping that's not blizz's (though more realistically, just the opinion of whoever wrote this) ideal goal to have maps be split easily for you to just turtle, and that they're just stating that those who like split maps will like it xD

Hmm don't like these 1v1 maps much tbh, they're not that bad though

Edit: Disappointed there are no new GSL maps though

I like them all, they look kinda good and weird at the same time. I think blizz could've included some of KeSPA/GSL maps. Good stuff anyways. Time to ladder, gl hf yall ^^

We should really start a petition of some sort to force Blizzard to stop making their own maps. We have GSL and now KESPA making maps FFS, bring them to ladder.

Is it just me or do both maps seem ridiculously T favored vs P due to the HUGE drop area?

Knowing blizzard, we will use their homemade maps for 2-3 years for HoTs with the occasional rocks removed/added here and there to those said maps. Then the standard "the community can make maps too! These are for casuals!" - DB response will come afterwards when the community goes "wtf blizz maps"

Source: TDA/Shak are still there.

Well, Newkirk is close by air and there's a HUGE airspace and plenty of surface area to drop in. Akilon's watchtowers can't cover everything and the T can deny them, taking them him/herself.

People need to stop with the hate on these maps. Where I will say these maps are by no means great, they're not too bad. Additionally, they are significant improvements over what they are replacing. People should instead be thankful that TDA and Shakuras are finally gone.

It's a step in the right direction but there's no reason these maps should be the ones replacing.

It's OK though because Blizzard has shown that they are proactive and taking the right approach, here's DB's thoughts about spawn imbalance:

@ErAsc2 Sory ErA. I don't think close spawn is that important for ladder play. But we'll talk about it again in January.

At least the map pool is different, but losing Shakuras instead of condemned ridge is quite disappointed.


out with the oldest, in with the new.
