Nice cuts. But not a fan of Alterzim. Also wish we got New Polaris Rapsody.

Haven't seen that many games on it but the games I've seen never led to anything nice.

New Polaris? People just cheesed most of the games they had to play on it, but that's because they didn't want to learn the map. If it was on ladder/WCS people would learn it and it would lead to really interesting games :D.

Bel'shir and Derelict are finally dead....tomorrow's gonna be bright. They can't hurt us anymore. (okay Derelict DID give us a few epic ZvTs, but everything else was boring).

I'm surprised Polar Nights and Yeonsu are still in, but I guess they can't make too many cuts. imo they really should be out based on quality though. Yeonsu is decent as far as the fun factor goes for your typical game, but balance wise it's suffering in ZvT. Polar Nights is the inverse, where the balance is okay but the games usually suck.

Frost is a total winner and thankfully seems to be stabilizing in balance. I expect this one will have the longevity of Whirlwind.

Alterizim Stronghold looks like loads of fun, but may not be very balanced. Bonus points for the nostalgia-factor of looking like Shakuras :D

Habitation Station produced nothing but cool games at the Redbull tournament. So much for NPR and its gimmicky lava xD

Part of me misses Akilon, but it was clearly past its time. People say it was too turtely but I think it gave us loads of epic games. Goodnight sweet Prince.

Overall, I approve.

Alterzim Stronghold is in my perception unplayable, it was annoying enough that it was in the ladder map pool but didnt see this coming

Yeah, that's what everybody did. Now it's a WCS map, it's very amateuristic.

Blizzard discusses this with partners (Read : Casters & tournament organizers ).

We need a SC1 system where proteams or pro players extensively test maps and then give their opinion.
Kespa always released maps well in advance of a new season to proteams, and they'd play customs on the maps for a long time, then give feedback.

Alterzim Stronghold haaaas to go plz. Not only is it ugly but apparently also infuriating for zerg all-around.

The addition of Habitation Station is...idk. I didn't really like it at Redbull but I guess I'm willing to give it a chance?

Otherwise taking out all the old maps is a good move, especially Bel'shir and Akilon.

a blessing they realized the new star station is still just star station (with the added fun of 2player-map-cheese).

I approve

The maps removed are good but adding alterzim stronghold and habitation station.. dont know what to say. I mean are you kidding me? I cant ever belive that the pro players approve of this even a little bit. I mean sometimes you have to force new maps despite what the pro players think but these maps are just so bad. Hope it doesnt become reality. Im sure there are great mapmakers out there who can or have come up with better choices

Terran hasn't been able to rush vs. P in all of HOTS and vs. Z since the queen buff. It's time for a change...

When does the season start btw

This pool gives me mixed feelings. It's finally good to see Derelict removed, never did like it, sad to see Bel'Shir go, I felt that was one of my stronger maps for some reason. Star Station I didn't play on much but it was really good for Terran drop play. Intrigued for the GSL created map and this "rush" map, or Habitation Station for that matter, it seemed a really cool map in RBBG although I think I'd have rather seen the lava map.

In regards to Alterzim, it needs to die already. It's too damn big and it will remain veto'd until Blizzard finally burn it to the ground.

Alterzim is not a good one imo :/ would've preferred to see something else stay in its place.

Glad to finally have Akilon, Bel'shir and Derelict removed. Will miss Whirlwind, though. Thought that map kept on producing great games still.

Shame they keep Alterzim Stronghold. Otherwise things look good.

Well Bel'Shir and Akilon will go in the books as two historic maps with the likes of Daybreak and CK and Antiga.
Glad to see them gone though.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

I wish Blizz would throw in a weekly old map.

Like week 1 Metalapolis, week 2 taldarim, week 3 steps of war, week 4 daybreak, week 5 antiga

Shit would be so fun
