Great move by Blizzard, apparently they've been stepping it a lot up recently.
I love Blizzard's stuff and Korea ~ <3

I think it's only logical that they align the ladder map pool with the WCS map pool.
Something like "WCS maps + 0-3 exclusive ladder maps", so that Blizzard can still put in some more unconventional/too rushy/bad (:D) maps, but pros can still veto them.

sounds cool enough from where i'm standing but especially cool for the pros who can now establish a predictable rhythm of maintaining their ladder play and tournament play at the same time.

Maybe the proleague map pool should be added to that list. IMO it is also quite good, I especially love fighting spirit.
I root for CJ because their fb posts are hilarious

I don't see how anything bad could come of this. I do agree that the map pools need to be the same for each region

hmm could be funny if each region has their own map pool on ladder. More maps more fun even with lag.
On a more serious note I rather hope it doesn't mean the Tournament map pool will slow down heh.

Hehe there is 1 bad thing I am worried about. Blizzard just doing their own maps (or not changing them). That is really my only concern right now.
When I think of something else, something will go here

does the ladder have anything to do with getting into challenger league, or why does it matter to blizzard to have them aligned?


I sure hope they don't decide to cut qualifiers and use the ladder for invites that would be rather terrible.
I want to be with those who share secret things or else alone.

Please standardize the map pool. It'll be awesome playing games and trying to emulate strategies we see in WCS/Proleague/GSL instead of stuff like that bridge map -.-
There is no one like you in the universe.

It's fine if Blizzard includes a few... "unconventional/too rushy/bad (:D) maps" (as was well stated above) as long as they can be vetoed.

Also Proleague maps need to be seriously looked at by Blizzard. Some of them are garbage, sure, but some of them are amazing and should make their way into WCS for sure imo.

If Fighting Spirit isn't in the ladder next season I might cry.

I hope this means more new maps each season,preferably the ones GSL is running.

I believe those are competitive maps for WCS.

If they keep the map pools the same as eachother I think that's cool.

I want more map variety, what point is there in every region having the same maps?
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.
