So, I initially thought that maps are terrible for macro protoss style (third base is hard to take). Is this still the notion?

Edit: Can we get pro's to comment on maps just like on those balance changes articles?

Alterzim is an awesome map.


We often get feedback of both types on this map. I just posted a more detailed explanation on our thought process for keeping Alterzim Stronghold in the map pool.

If only outboxer replaced altezerim+a community map...
also, if Polar night has been in the map pool for too long, why is frost still there, I'm sure there's plenty of good 4p maps that could replace it?

But I can't complain too much, these new maps look really good! (I especially like Sejong)

Good job Blizz!

now thats gj by Blizzard. I like that all four 2p maps with similar 3-base setup are gone. Overgrowth comes across as super standard but theres only one of them this time so it's fine. Merry-Go-Round is extremely welcomed. King Sejon rocks. We needs more innovation in map design really

Merry-go-round would be better if the map suddenly spins every 5 minutes so that players need to reorient themselves with directions

These maps are probably some of the more interesting maps that I have seen in recent seasons, cannot wait to play some games on them!
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

Seed vs Rogue was the best game ever played on Alterzim. Too bad he died to Daedulus.

I really like this map pool. I can see people vetoing one or two, but not running out of vetoes. Maps need more interesting features, and if they won't do like Shoutcraft clan wars (which might be a bit much for ladder), I want some variety while playing and fewer Daybreak clones.

That said, Polar Night was "interesting" and I'm glad it's gone. I liked Yeonsu though. I had to veto Daedalus. The ramp was just too far from the command center--a complete nightmare. Once things start to fall apart, it felt nearly impossible to stabilize.

Finally! Polar Night and Heavy Rain are gone! Good job, Blizzard. But I would have much rather seen Outboxer, instead of King Sejong Station.

Doesn't King Sejong Station make Protoss cry? That third looks so exposed.

Very interesting to see a 3 player map finally added. I think they made some good choices with the map pool and I agree with the people that are happy to see a lot of blink friendly maps removed. Hopefully it will also help facilitate some differences in game play in the pro scene too
