I personally dislike Korhal because of the wonky spawns in the top left and bottom right, but was going to look forward to how pros play on this map, to help me with my own play. I guess I will have to go to streams for that.

Otherwise, great map pool! I'm really glad to see Frost in there, as it shows recognition for third-party map makers.

^ Its not like the map hasnt been used in PL for several weeks right? Afaik there isnt any problem on the other spawn except fast pools + drone pulls which, most of the time, is your fault for not scouting anyway.

Loving MLG actually picking a updated map pool!
That Frost is in there as well is a good sign but why would they force spawn on KFI and not Whirlwind?! 0o

Anyhow this is probably the best map pool MLG have every had.

I agree and it makes practicing the map on ladder impossible T_T Also I wish blizz would insta add Frost since it was the TL map contest winner and it's in MLG, why wait a whole season make the ladder fun

woah good on them to take the initiative and add Frost. I'm very excited to see a lot of pro games on that one.

Usually MLG is like the slowest tournament to evolve in the map category, I'm a little surprised.

The whole point of Korhal Sky is the unusual spawns. It barely deserves the name without them. Use another map if you don't want that

So happy that they added Frost right away. Adds a lot of respect in my books, and they know that. Props for the decision, MLG!

And thank GOD for removing Star Station. Another plus. Looking forward to this MLG more than ever!

I've never seen Korhal with the 1 o'clock and 7 o'clock spawns before. It's always been the other set in the matches I managed to see.

Korhal is such a nice and unique map because it's 2-in-1. Top right vs bot left is like a normal map and Top left vs bot right is a new and exciting map. You never know which one you'll be playing until it loads up too. Sad to see them mess this up (Sundance: I get it) (Apparently not

)

Nice to see Frost in the map pool. Hopefully it will be added to ladder next season.

I get that there are legitimate issues with the weird spawns on Korhal, but if you don't like the idea of them just use another map. Is the standard spawns version of Korhal really that great? It seems like there is another map you could use if you just wanted a kinda-standard map with a lot of bases.

Happy to see Frost in, but I dislike the change to Korhal Island :[

Well, the map pool was looking unusually good for an MLG, you know there had to be a catch.

Also, this is the same group that disappeared the island on Metropolis. It's been established that all they want is standard maps.

I wish in addition to "yay!" and "nay!" the polls had a "meh!" or something. Korhal Sky Island change makes me sad, though.

Yes, usually MLG has by far the worst maps out of all of the major tournaments, besides maybe IEM.

It's really nice to see that we'll see a good change of pace at the next MLG.
