I hope they coordinate with GOM on which version of Akilon Flats they're using. The GSL version of the map has the watchtower disappearing after 7 minutes.

Not that it matters much anyway since HotS is coming around, but yea, I would really hope tournaments start standardizing maps.

Make map changes like this!

They did? The edited Belshir Vestige and Whirlwind, added Akilon flats and Icarus, and removed a couple of maps


Why doesn't that get a thread?
Now I look silly...

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=393653
There was


Bahaha I've even already read the thread!

I swear that SPL changes their maps far more than GSL though.

Yeah, SPL has more flexibility, they make changes every round which is basically every 4 weeks. GSL made some good steps but they still have the omnipresent Daybreak and that map wasn't updated at all (like ovie spots) in last year, iirc.


Well in GSL players can still pick maps which makes new maps rarely picked. Players likes to pick overplayed maps too often.

Ohana means family...

Family means "nobody gets left behind"

Good to see Akilon in there... Its a good map on the ladder.

I hope they make the same watchtower changes that the GSL is doing though.

Funny how everyone was like "all those hots map suck, Blizzard is terrible at making maps" and now both GSL and PL are using Akilon Flats.

TBH i would expect that Newkirk District would have been more favored as a tournement map. Look much better and its design mirrors Shakuras alot which afterall "only" was a tournement map for 2.5 years. But hey Akillion seems like a nice addition too.

The perfect reason not to include it
Only MLG had it in the map pool for stupidly long.

I guess that would be right

Still it is the better looking map, and compared to most maps used today its design is rather unique.

-The map has a new name, and all previous records on this map will be erased.


That's some serious MIB shit going on here.

Nice changes though.

Thanks!

I had to google Akilon Flats to see what it looked like and I can only imagine a million other people will do that too so I edited in a picture to your OP.

That is a very funny line. We are going to erase all existence of the maps previous transgressions.

Akilon is actually a very good map, but its hard to play on. The fact that the watch towers are not in the direct path makes it much harder to simply go through the middle, you have to send units way in advance, which is something most players are not used to because of the current map pool.

I do hope that the GSL version will be used though, since it will be harder for the players to play on different versions of the same map...
