A new ladder season every 11 weeks... A WCS season every ladder season..

Something doesn't add up, are we to expect 5 WCS seasons every year?

No, ladder still runs while WCS has an off-season.

This especially. Tired of seeing outdated neutral supply depots on the MLG Whirlwind in particular.

I would appreciate this change... there are too many seasons in one year...

also it's a smoother feeling, even when there is no real connection between WCS and ladder season

/approve

EDIT: same mappool would also be really nice... also for the pros i could imagine and also for other tournaments... normally there are not much differences between the tourney-maps but there is to ladder

If map pool is going to be the same, I'd like to see an entirely new map pool each season, or only keep 1-2 maps. Otherwise I like this idea.

Are they not already the same? Different regions have different map pools?

I wonder if a certain ladder-based tournament can be squeezed in right after the season championships. Hmm....

That is true, NA is still using Cloud Kingdom for example, while none of the other regions do.

For example, GSL uses Red City and Atlas, which aren't used in EU or AM.

Hopefully it was just a first season thing and next season all regions should be the same + most of them on ladder (hopefully)

Would be nice, but Blizzard wants a diverse set of maps so it probably wont happen

Yes, definitely a map pool sync with the current WCS would be nice. Partially because half of Blizzard's current map pool is total shit (the new maps? Jesus Christ...) so having tournament-APPROVED maps would be splendid! But what are the odds...

I only would agree with this if the rest follows the GSL/OSL map pool.

I have no problem with this, so why not? Changing the map pool to be the same as the current WCS season's map pool would only keep the ladder more fresh and allow ladder players to experience and enjoy more maps.
If your all in didn't work, you didn't pull the workers.
