They got rid of most of the terrible maps and put in some more macro focused ones, I approve. Still iffy about the golds on Habitation, but is whatever, overall the pool looks solid.

Edit: what in the actual fuck, they kept Altrezim? I didn't even see it, I guess could not really fathom having it in. It's like an enormous Jungle Basin, zerg can go get fucked on this map more or less. Who on blizzard would look at that map and think it would make for good games?

Alterzim Stronghold is a terrible terrible terrible map.

Why in the world did they decide to keep it...?

Yeonsu feels highly imbalanced in any matchup involving Protoss; Alterzim is just TOO large for my liking...

Other than that, more diversity sounds good, and I love that gold base map :D

As usual horrible decisions from the guys in charge of this game.

Why keep Polar Night, I don't know if the guy who made it was high at the time, but the weather effects are beyond annoying and do nothing but reduce vision and perfomance. Other than that the map is fine, but until that gets fixed it's a veto.
Frost is dumb because its a 4 player map, but since they refuse to remove 4 player maps i guess they think it's fine that there is gambling in SC2, seems dumb to me but whatever.
Yeonseu has a retarded 3rd location and seems to be a common veto for zergs.
Alterzim is super dumb because 1) 4 player map and 2) too big and easy 3 bases is just not good map design.
Dunno about habitation station.
"GSL map" is honestly the only map I have hope for this season.
"Rush map" sounds like a dumb gimmick, doubt it'll be any good.

Why remove Belshir, Star Station and Delerict? If you're gonna remove good, solid maps you better replace them with other solid maps, but sadly this is not the case this time. But yeah, I guess T and P didn't have a high enough win rate so they decide to remove the one map zergs liked to play on.


are you a pro player? :D

I hope they do a TLMC every season, or that at least Blizzard tries to get in contact with us mappers. If only they knew the amount of maps we could put out for them...

I have still not seen any game on Alterzim.

Anyway, good move by cutting a lot of the old maps. And Habitation Station looks great (Bomber vs Scarlett...).

That game was very good. It's still a horrible map for PvZ, zerg can't do much of anything with so little space to work with.

So happy to see an update to the map pool for 2014. I'm glad they picked up HS from Redbull Map contest really enjoyed the matches played on it durning the TLMC. I hope they keep up with this and evaluate the maps after each season keep things fresh and exciting!

While I agree with a lot of your points, star station and derelict watcher were also awful maps and def needed to be removed lol

I'm really happy that habitation station got in but it's probably not going to be balanced with the gold.

It seems almost everyone hates Alterzim, I personally think it is a bad map as well. Hopefully it won't last long.

and Bel'shir. I mean yeah, it surprisingly was not that imbalanced, but my god was it stale. I have very few good memories of that map both in my own games and watching a shitload of pro games on it for roughly a year since it's been in the pool. It won't be missed.
