I dont get this attitude from most people to remove older maps. Shouldn't it be priority to remove lower quality maps untill there is a map pool of high quality maps and then replace old maps with new ones? Now they removed the by far best 4 player map in the game and replaced it with a map that will most likely turn out to be garbage.
At least akilon is gone, never vetoed that map because it was at least good looking, but it leads to atrocious games every once in a while.

how the hell can more ppl approve of alterzim stronghold than star station? Star station looks pretty good imo while the other one is just way to big.

It's about time Akilon Wastes got removed. That map wasn't that great from the get-go, surprised it stayed for that long.

These changes are shit. Star Station remains a horrible map, 2 player or 4player doesn´t change anything. The new map is neo Calm before the Storm and we all know how well this map worked out to be.
2 very solid maps go out for this. After we had a well rounded good mappool for the last season (which was the first time in SC2 history that there was no map in the ladder pool, that is just bullshit) Blizzard goes back to their true pattern of introducing horrible maps into the ladder pool.
I´m normally a positive guy, but with the planned balance changes and the new ladder mappool things don´t look good at all for the future of SC2.


Well rounded? They were all the same haha.

Everytime a map is not identical to the standard half the player base vetos it.

I like the new starstation (at least from watching to it). Still not much of a fan of that giant map. For my personal play style it won't matter vs terran and toss much, vs zerg they get 3 bases with a single location to defend. But I mainly dislike the dependence on the random number generator of such maps. It is completely dependent on luck if you can scout your opponent or not early on. And especially for toss and terran vs another terran you probably end up with a wall-off when you try to scout, and you don't have a clue what is happening behind it. That can happen also on other maps, but then at least you generally can find out when they take their natural.

Can't say I like this new pool. Akilon and Whirlwind were two of my favourite maps on the ladder so seeing them removed is painful. Alterzim is going straight on my veto list for sure, I played a couple of customs on it and I just couldn't get myself to like it.

I vaguely remember the 4 player version of Star Station for Season 4 ladder and I found it to be an alright map so I'm intrigued to see how the 2 player version will work out.

Now I need to do some customs on Polar Night/Frost to decide which I'm unvetoing in favour of Alterzim.

7 maps are too much or why? I wish 16 very very different 1v1 maps.

It is kind of depressing that my first map which gets recognized is one that I didn't even make...

Oh well I am not on top of the mapmaking scene anymore anyway.

Its pretty much the same as before, they removed half the changes. Their map choosing seems kind of erratic, the only reason to include this version of Star Station is the notion that 4 player maps suck ass but at the same time they introduce a new 4 player map...

Did they talk to you about any of the changes or that this was happening, or was the map just put into the pool and you found out when everyone else did?

They asked me maybe 2 months ago if they could possibly use the map. No further communication. I mean I don't care if they ask me or not, this is their map after all, I just wish their changes made more sense.

On the other hand this is really bad for Protoss and I am not fond of watching Protoss.

I really despise the new Star Station - it has all the flaws of the original but you don't get neat things like hidden bases and now almost all the bases are impossible to take unless you're zerg. It's like a really bad version of forced cross spawns without any ability to be creative.

Who the hell? I don't even...

Like, are you all trying to be funny?

They don't realize what they truly have in their hands, did you saw Meta? how they compared Alterzim to Whirlwind? compare a 192^2 to a 160^2 map, damn....
I mean yes the map will be interesting in the sense that we will see some extreme late game scenarios happen, but after the novelty wears off, this map will be so freaking hated like only Incineration Zone has known.
