Korhal Sky Island LE
Neo Planet S LE
Newkirk Precinct TE
Red City LE
Star Station
 Personally I am really looking forward to the real new maps.
Woops, messed something up while copying and pasting! Thanks!

thats generous considering both polar night and yeonsu look absolutely unplayable. Especially Polar night.
Yeonsu is like akilon on steroids, don't see terran losing there ever. Mech paradise

I can't believe they kept in Bel'Shit but took out Neo Planet S, Korhal, and Red City ;;
I hope gsl has at least wised up and took out Bel'shir. It's not the worst map I've ever seen, but it's definitely past its expiration date and imo rarely gives entertaining games.
Derelict is another lame map that should be cut immediately.

keep derelict and remove neo planet s.
really? 
|
yea neo planet s was the worst removal by far. The map was different and fun, made for small action packed games. really hate these massive maps they are shoving down our throat.

molten crater
neo planet S

A map that promotes a weak composition, who would have ever thought... Lol.

I'm still a bit butthurt about TLMC#2 and the maps the jury picked, but this is seriously fucked up. Blizzard implemented Frost & Yeonsu in the ladder map pool, but not in the original version. Instead they "changed" the textures and even layout. And when i say "changed" i mean "butchered". I wasn't a big fan of Yeonsu's texture style, but he was improving it already. Blizzard decided to give it a "Dual Site"-Texture style for ladder, but without talking to etcetra. And look how poorly they did it. They didn't even have the decency to put "original made by etcetra, modified by blizzard" in the descripton. For some reason they felt driven to force some of the worst textures available in the editor in the maps: "Khaldir snow icy" & "Khaldir snow powdered". Why are they so bad? Because they're blurry and look like they don't belong in the game. But see for yourself:

Wait, really, they butchered the beauty that is Crux Frost? Won't comment on Yeonsu cause it still looks better than Frost LE. Also, are they already published (and as published i mean with that famous sign from Blizz)?

Textures are legit for sure, i remember those from HotS campaign (where they were fitting lol). I am not sure if Blizzard already published Ladder versions though. Gonna check.

Well, I for one am really happy about the fact that we have 7 maps now, that are identical with WCS.

I loaded them in the editor and took screenshots there.
