Your current team, EG, is participating in Proleague. What is the difference between Proleague and the GSTL?
Proleague is great because the maps are fresh. Thanks to the addition of new maps, I have also found a new interest in the game. I hope Blizzard would also care about SC2 that much and come out with new maps in the near future.

It's nice when you hear pro players say they want new maps to re-spark their interest in the game.
But Blizzard has come out with new maps.... Three infact since the time when Tournement started using the standard pool that we see everywhere...
I still think the biggest problem is how tournements refuse to adjust their mappool. The fact that Metropolis is still used just shows this.
An entire 3... OMG SO MANY MAPS FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR!!! Only one before this ladder season... and it's a terrible map. I vetoed it after my first game.
Anyways, in other news: and
2 or 3 new maps for GSL next week. Possibly one KeSPA map. Gonna guess they're removing Antiga and two of Daybreak, Entombed, and Cloud Kingdom. (edit - these being the maps that are a year old. )
I would especially like to see a return of a few small maps(steppes anyone?) just to spice things up. It's getting really boring to see the same macro game going on and on each and every single time...

Well Blizzard actually "introduced" six maps during 2012 on ladder. Through alot of them are the tournement maps that we now have seen for use in over a year. And considering that this was a year where Blizzard was releashing an expansion it is only natural to have their reasources somewhat drained during this time. Coming from WOW i can tell that is always the case there.
"We’re also discussing our direction for the Heart of the Swarm map pool. Though we will go into further detail at a later date, we are currently planning to make heavier use of popular tournament maps, refresh the map pool more frequently than we did in Wings of Liberty, and work closely with tournament organizations around the world in order to collaborate on map development."
Now if only tournements actually added new maps that wasn't in use by Blizzard already then we were golden. Outside of GSL and Kespa there really isn't much initative to add new maps.
Also this should go without saying but the Kespa maps don't really stand a chance to pass the ladder rules.
