I am tired of seeing the same maps being used in tournament after tournament with no variation to the pool whatsoever. Proleague has all but proven that you can have a great tournament with funky maps, it's about time other tournaments started following from their example. | ||

A) It could be that the tournament pays a couple of pros (hundreds of dollars each) for playing the new maps. B) Pay map makers a sum of money for winning a map making tournament. | ||

In fact, this is what I would suggest. 2 maps are to be rotated out every season. One of the removed map is going to be the worst map (either in terms of games produced or balanced), and the other is going to be the oldest map. (regardless of how good it is) | ||

It's pointless to make WoL maps as soon as the HotS beta hit as no one would use them, and there is no major HotS tournaments yet (not part of the OP, just relevant). bring back the weekly for HoTS pretty pretty please. good post adressing a an important issue. i'd like to see tournaments invest into developing the map scene. since producing good games is a concern for them, having good maps produced should be a natural field to put some focus on. edit: f.ex. sponsor tournaments like the Korean Weekly, where new maps got tested out on the highest level of play. | ||

That would be quite the gamble given Kespas tournement format don't care about if the map is balanced. I will say through. Blizzard started out 2013 by ditching the oldest of the their maps. I feel tournements should have done the same. I fully agree with the statements in this post. | ||

Antiga Shipyard Cloud Kingdom Daybreak Entombed Valley Metropolis Ohana Whirlwind Every single one of those has to go. Well Whirldwind is still pretty young and has provided its share of epic games (Flash vs Ryung, DRG vs Ryung, Seed vs Symbol, MMA vs MVP etc). I'd keep that one. Mayyyybe 1 more season of Cloud as well since it's not quite as old as Daybreak but arguably better these days in quality. | ||
