No.

A retro map season would be awesome. Cloud Kingdom, Daybreak, Tal Darim... Steppes of War just for giggles?

That's a U-turn from steppes of war or incineration zone, did the design philosophy changed ?
My wrist really started to flare up. My colossi number started to pile up and with the last of my concentration I prepared for a win.

Doesn't have to be a whole season, but imagine a mappool like this for WCS:
- some currently popular maps
- some new maps
- 1 "legacy" map, meaning an old one or a rework of an old one

This new map seems very very interesting, reminds me of some old BW maps, However we will seen 14 cc 15 nex and even 3 hatch before pool. So some sick macro play? easy 3rd and 4th as well. I think this map for Mech is going to be BRUTAL
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

I really miss the different metagame that other maps (desert oasis, scrap station) could bring

this is just the 5th clone of taldarim altar.

I'd love to have a neo scrap station added for a season.

I have always dreamt of a spot (at least) that would be used for "retro" maps like Daybreak, Cloud Kingdom, Ohana or even Shakuras Plateau or Xel'naga Caverns. I'm not sure many people would like it though, besides those maps could be unsuitable for HotS metagame.
