Did not see a thread, yet.

http://www.gomtv.net/forum/view.gom?topicid=229420&cid=0&kind=8

*New Maps:
GSL Akilon Flats
GSL Icarus
KeSPA Neo Planet S

Revised Maps:
GSL Whirlwind SE
GSL Bel’Shir Vestige SE

Unchanged Maps:
GSL Daybreak
GSL Cloud Kingdom

Removed from the Map Pool:
GSL Entombed Valley
GSL Abyssal City
GSL Antiga Shipyard


"Destructible rocks have had their health lowered to 1000 (Take that, Dustin Browder)."


Thanks to Pandemona for this overview:

Map Pool

Revised Maps


GSL Bel’Shir Vestige SE
  • The tower at the fast expansion where overlords can hide has been removed.

  • Destructible rocks have been added to second expansions

  • The route from the second expansions to the center area is now a slope.

GSL Whirlwind SE
  • Destructible rocks have been added to both second expansions

  • Since destructible rocks have been added, it is expected that players will take a quick 2nd expansions followed by aggressive play.


New Maps!

The DB line is most bodacious. Can't wait until the final season!

The DB rocks comment is gold. I like the change they made to Akilon Flats too.

Interesting changes, at least the gameplay will shift towards a zerg agressive playstyle

Interesting changes, will be cool how they play out. I also like how the Xelnaga tower will lose power, makes map presence more useful, can't wait to see what sort of play that brings out of people

so whirlwind is still a thing. That's disappointing. I guess with all of the new and updated maps it should make for an interesting season.

About time new maps came into the map pool. Antiga feels super, super stale and old and I never particularly liked abyssal city.

whirlwinds a great map and has shown some really really good games. My favorite personally even though everytime I watch that map the zergs seem to lose >>.
When I think of something else, something will go here

I really like the changes GSL have done to the map pool especially those to Alkion, having those center watchtowers time out is a great idea! I wish Blizzard would think out the box like that when it comes to map design... Oh but wait then people who haven't played on it at least once will not understand how it works >_<

The temporary towers in Akilon Flats is pretty interesting. Are there any other tourney maps which do it?

Any map pool without Arkanoid is a good map pool in my book.
