I'm liking the addition of akilon flats. I really like it as a map and its good to see some hots maps in the pool.

awful map, but ohana wasn't any better. changing dogshit for horseshit I guess. their other maps seem adequate enough, so one bad apple really isn't the worst thing ever. I mean we saw Steppes in how many tournaments before it was expunged?

Steppes of war was my absolute worst map. I felt I was going to lose every time. It's like this map you are supposed to be good at. But feel a jinx every time playing it! :D

I'm really not sure if gom/kespa are just smart and add a map that will probably be used in every hots tournament post release, or blizzard forces them to use a certain amount of their terrible maps, because tbh akilon is not a good map, especially when you look at community made maps.

2-player version of Backwater Gulch. What could possibly go wrong?

After testing: Akilon flats is different from the GSL version.

There's only one neutral supply depot that's on the bottom of the ramp, not at the natural of the ramp (only to block cannon rushes). The watch towers don't self-destruct.

Aww, that's too bad.

One lesser talked about benefit of having the exact same maps between Proleague and GSL is that players will be able to practice the maps much easier.

It'll help on both sides.

Yea that would require Gom and Kespa to talk together and cooperate.... Pff AHAHAHAHA!

Jokes asside even if they were to start talking to each other after a decade of bitter rivaly the mappool would probably have pretty low priority.

I am very glad to see Akilon Flats replacing Ohana. And all the other changes look great, especially the geyser changes for Planet S.

I'm sure everyone can appreciate how proactive they are in making adjustments to the maps and the map pool.

+respect.
