But why they changed the name of the Newkirk Map? I can not find a picture of
Newkirk Precint, so maybe its a complet new map?

It's not a completely new map -- I believe it's Newkirk District with a bunch of the destructible rocks removed.

oh Korhal City is THAT map. Gross wtf Blizzard. That and Star Station will probably be my only vetoes.

I don't mind it so much for the non mirror matchups. But ZvZ is pretty much all ling/bane Allins.

I'm glad that there are Zerg players out there, admitting that. These 3 maps where relatively fair, as seen in tournament winratios (while I see that Antiga is Terran favored in TvP - YES!). Whirlwind and Bel'shir are a gift to Zerg. And Daybreak.... oh good god, when will we get rid of it D:

I still think this is ridiculously in favor of Zerg players but with balance the way it is at the moment I'm welcome to it. Regardless I really, really fucking think they should bring back the S1 map pool on April Fools. Would be worth it just for the forum rage that day.

Daybreak is the best map on that list, what are people complaining about?

Korhal City, Whirlwind and Star Station are god awful and will get instant veto. I wish I had an extra one for Akilon Wastes.
No cloud kingdom or Ohana in favor of these? wtf blizz lol

i'm a bit concerned about these maps from a protoss perspective tbh. it's nice that the mappool is more diverse now, but somehow i would like to veto half of these maps :/
whirlwind and bel'shir are quite good for zerg imo. on star station the third base is extremely wide open and it is basically impossible to secure a third base in pvz. neo planet s and daybreak wouldn't be my choice against zerg either and pvp on korhal city is quite bad as well.

i don't dont know...maybe it is just me :D

will see how the new units and abilities work out on these maps. so maybe it isn't as bad

Why do people hate Newkirk so much? That's easily my favorite map. Reminds me a lot of Ride of the Valkyries, which was by far my favorite BW map. I think it's great, but maybe I'm missing something? haha.

This map pools looks gorgeous though. I'm so fucking excited to get home from work and play on the european server.... haha

Hurray, finally no ugly terrain tile sets! Good riddance Antiga, the last of the ugly.

(I still have nightmares over the bland, ugly, disgusting, never dying Xel'Naga Caverns)

These will be so much more pleasant to play on. Balance I don't really care as much about.

Cloud Kingdom gone but we still have Daybreak (lol, I was so close to type in Gaybreak...) I feel like CK is so much more interesting with all of its attack paths and base layout. Out of the new maps (HotS Beta maps) Star Station and Korhal City are too big

I don't like maps that continue to infinity and allow macroing up in your own end of the map without any threat of opponent being able to surprise you.

WHERE IS CLOUD KINGDOM. it is like the best map. I like it the best. trade out belshir vestige and newkirk for Cloud kingdom and Metolopolis LE (metropolis?)

I thought this was a final release. Star Station. Ha. It would be a shame to hurt the Blizzard map making team's feelings by removing their horrible maps. I hope pro games aren't played on some of these maps, at least.

Good to see new maps, but some of the maps from beta simply aren't very good. I'd like to see cloud kingdom in place of star station for starters.

Also Metropolis was in the ladder for a few days...Blizzard was going to fix the lag issues with it but I guess they forgot about it? I'd much rather have it than korhal city or star station.
