Nice to see Newkirk be edited and placed into the new season. The old Newkirk Precinct was my best map by far.

Good thing Zerus is out, I hated that map with a passion. Same with Klontas, it was just too different for me to adjust. Not saying it was a bad map, I just personally disliked it.

You can say it, it was an awfuly bad map. I'm looking foward to more GSL/KeSPA maps in the ladder pool!

Good to see that Klontas Mire TE didn't survive more than one season, I really want to see the stats on how many players had it on veto.

On Zerus Prime TE I'm a bit torn, I really liked the map but I guess not watching it in a tournament setting the middle could be a very nice stalemate situation?

Red City LE
Awesome, have been wanted to play this map on ladder, x-spawn only?

Korhal Sky Island LE
Depending on the spawn position I will either hate or love the map, when you have the destructible rocks I feel like theres too much space to cover as terran.

Newkirk Precinct TE
Thought the map would been added the last season so it's good move by Blizzard to add it now!
One season late..

Having two additional maps thats not on the ladder is so fucking stupid.
The WCS maps should ofc ONLY be ladder maps!

Pleasantly surprised we're getting some good changes. Would have like to see Kewkirk removed completely but the changes do improve it as a map. Sky Island is a fun map and Red City has proven itself to create better games than I thought it would at first.

I'm sad to see my beloved District 10 go but its nice to have some fresh 4v4 maps. Primordial Grave looks decent if a little rush friendly, which is OK considering how huge the 4v4 maps have gotten. Writhing Morass looks fun but I am worried that having two mains seigable from the lowground will be imba. It reminds me of Lava Flow - not sure how I feel about that considering that map created some very odd strategies.

Fun Fact: Sky Harvester was by far the Largest map ever used in the ladder pool

Red City = Terran IMBA? I dunno, just seems way too easy to defend 3rd and 4th, and I think most people agree that Terrans are REALLY strong with 3rd and 4th.

With the start of Season 4 on the StarCraft II ladder coming soon, we’ve published several new maps for you to enjoy, including Korhal Sky Island LE, a former OGN Proleague 1v1 map that you’ll see the best players in the world competing on in the World Championship Series.

At this time, Korhal Sky Island is exhibiting some behavior that players won’t expect:

The “Your Ranked Season Average” information on the Performance tab of the Score Screen does not show at the end of the game.
Play on this map does not count toward some economy, ranked/unranked, and melee combat achievements.
The “Surrender” button is a “Quit” button.

We’re working on solutions for all of the above, and we will fix them in a future patch. We decided that it was better to publish the map with a few issues now, so that everyone can enjoy playing it, as we don’t have any concerns that should affect gameplay, balance, or performance. And again, these are only issues with Korhal Sky Island. No other maps are affected.

As always, thank you for your patience and understanding, and we’ll see you on the ladder in 2013 Season 4!

Show nested quote +

i.e., clueless Blizz devs can't figure out how to make the map melee (a very simple fix)

How do you defend a 6pool or 10pool as terran on sky island 11-5 spawn? You can't wall this huge ramp and you definitely can't destroy the rocks before the lings arrive

You don't need a wall to defend a 6 pool. As for 10 pool I'm not sure, get a friend to 10 pool you a few times and try different things, I'm sure you can figure something out.

Newkirk looks like terran heaven. Imagine all the drops.

This is really looking good. I like the additions and won't be sad about the ones that will be kicked.
