Sure, most of those would be considered poor now, but for their time in the meta game they were good, balanced, and saw a lot of tournament use.
we've had this discussion many times before. tournament use does not always equal 'good map'. why gsl runs an [almost] entirely exclusive map pool devoid of blizzard maps.
which is why its also hilarious blizzard talks about 'tournament edition' on their maps, LOL

You think maybe the are called TE because Blizzard plans to use them in a really big tournament they now own? :/

Sorry guys, those maps just look really boring to me. I'd take almost any community map over these. Making maps is just not Blizzards' forte, and it has to be said.

I hate how the new maps have such easy thirds, and zerus has an easy 4th too with tons of choke points. Not sure how protoss is ever going to lose there.

I'm finding it very hard to think of a community map that's as interesting and aesthetically pleasing as the star station style map. It looks, to me in all honestly that it was co-developed with Kespa.

Mostly boring maps as usual to stop the tears over tank spots.

I'm not sure even half the people claiming these are "boring" maps even know what makes a map boring...

Pretty sure GSL has used at least 2 blizzard maps every season, and others like CK and Ohana which were first introduced on ladder.
And I didn't say tournament use made them good.

I know right? Boring maps are Cloud Kingdom/Daybreak style. I'll take imba as fuck maps any day of the year over those

An example of a boring map is Metropolis or Newkirk. Anyway map that rewards turtling basically.
Daybreak is pretty much the "turtle" map. It's really not hard to get a third and as soon as you get the middle it stalemates.

As usual, people only voting thumbs up on the 15 minute no rush maps. Sigh

Scouting lottery on ladder, close spawns and a three screens wide concave at the third—what's not to love in there?

I'd like to see a poll on this. I'm thinking it's more along the lines of they don't want to hurt a blizzard map makers feelings. Priorities...
