This is what I'm saying. Can't we just audible into this for upcoming season map pool?

Habitation station is so beautiful, I gave it my vote.

But I don't mind the lava map winning though :D

Anyway, thank you Red Bull for doing this, you guys are awesome!

Only one guaranteed! Who knows what the rest of the map pool will look like


Was said on Reddit so maybe they would use multiple maps from this tournament. Would be pretty awesome.

Voted for Polaris since it has good mechanics for third bases as well as everything else. It's not just the lava <3

I love every map in the map pool so I can't vote for my favourite

Mappers did an excellent job this season.

I have to vote for the Lava map because Bomber is playing at the tournament, losing your entire army to lava is clearly the evolution of nuking your own army.

Pretty decent maps I should say. Gonna watch the replays before giving my all-important vote.

It seems like a lot of people are voting for Polaris Rhapsody just for the Lava. Not that its a bad map but it seems just like a thing the public vote for for fun :/.


OMG THE FUN IS RUINING THIS GAME !


I don't necessarily think fun is ruling the game, but the public wants to see serious innovation with the maps, especially some crazy stuff! The lava mechanic is "innovative" and adds a dimension to strategy (and the fact that it destroys a lot of stuff!) that hasn't been seen in public maps... and that people want to see new stuff than seeing the "old" stuff. The irony is that THAT lava MECHANIC ALREADY EXISTS since WoL, yet no map maker actually dared using it.

I do think that the pros will really hate that map though... as they are creatures of habit, and want to just play on the same maps over and over and over again.

I don't think all the pros will hate it once it starts getting some play. Much of the time it will seem completely normal. It's a good layout without the lava anyway.

But please don't say "no mapmakers dared use [innovative thing]". We have since the beginning, and have been repeatedly slapped down by a heedless community and Blizzard's insistence on rigid and boring map standards.


I apologize for this ignorance (as I don't see things from the mapmaker point of view) as it just simply appears this way through the casual viewer of SC2.

However, if this lava map does actually go through, then I think we might start to see the change of "standards that exist for tourney maps". And maybe finally we can actually see some real change for maps in the standard map pool than what we see today.

I do still think the lava map has the VIEWERs vote, as the Viewers love to see everything blown up by lava... hands down. So for pure spectator point of view, this map probably has the most to offer in terms of tense situations (especially when the events are outside of the player's control). Just note that I'm not saying that this map is the most interesting strategically wise... but just the thought of everything melting in lava and that it got approved in this map pool... oh that thought excites me.

No worries, I just have to put it out there because it sucks that we haven't been able to use all the coolness of the editor this whole time. I definitely agree with you and that's why I'm pulling for LAVA. *bold* I really hope so! :D

Honestly, I like New Polaris Rhapsody in theory, but it doesn't really make for great games in practice.

Wow... New Polaris Rhapsody has an enormous lead. Not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand, it's a kinda cool map with a very unique mechanic, and I'm eager to see what kinda crazy stuff pro players concoct to exploit it. We didn't really see enough games on that map during the tournament to get a feel for how that would affect play. It also opens the door for more of the quirky map mechanics folks like TLO have been pushing for. On the other hand... the lava thing is probably very unbalanced in some matchups, especially with respect to things like automatically wiping out creep every five minutes.

It could just mean that zergs will use overlords to spread creep more, which would be an interesting development imo

Zerg can still spread creep around the sides, and Terran cannot parade push through the middle because every 5 minutes he has to pack up and leave lol

Voted for Graveside but I don't mind New Polaris Rhapsody because it might convince Blizzard or other tournaments that that kind of thing is okay but maybe I'm hoping for too much. I wish it didn't have that much of a lead though.

An interesting thing about New Polar Rhapsody: Your third is cut off every time lava comes up. So possibly a snipe on the third while the lava is going up?
