I think the HotS 1v1 map pools have been solid so far, and this season will be no exception. | ||

Oh well. Edit: I changed my mind, I don't particularly care for Foxtrot either. Nimbus or Deadwing might be the best one. Also Catallena is just bad. Cool idea, but just bad. I keep changing my mind. I'm not very content with any of them, really. | ||

"Beyond Season 3, the map pool will also be used in the WCS Global Finals at BlizzCon taking place November 7–8. Below is a compiled list of the complete map pool." | ||

but, I am also sad to see Habitation Station go  I really like some of the unique builds and games that map made, and it seems like just yesterday it was added. | ||

It's had it's time on ladder and produced plenty of awesome and unique games and it's amazing how many maps are trying out Gold minerals again, makes me happy because Gold Minerals were pretty much considered a joke but now people are using them again in maps. Yay! This new map pool should be really fun. I like it quite a bit and having new maps come in just mean more new strategies hopefully emerging. Congratulations to all map makers that are on ladder, cherish it bros! Welcome to the big league!  haha.I really liked your map, Sidian. Both to play and to watch. It had a good run. I am looking forward to the next one!  | ||

Foxtrot has a size of 148x148, giving it an area of 21904 Deading has a size of 167x167, giving it an area of 27889 Nimbus has a size of 152x152, giving it an area of 23104 Catallena has a size of 164x164, giving it an area of 26896 Compared to frost (158x162, 25596): Foxtrot is 85.6% the size of frost Deadwing is ~9% larger than frost Nimbus is 90.2% the size of frost Catallena is 5.1% larger than frost In general, the maps are smaller than frost Now, compare these to the even bigger maps such as Waystation (168x168, 28224) and Alterzim (192x192, 36864) and these maps are significantly smaller than the previous map pool | ||

Glad to see they're taking some chances to continue to improve the team play map pools however. | ||

I am a fan of 4 player maps in general. Of all these new ones, I see myself vetoing Deadwing *as a Zerg player... I don't like OVERLY big (alterzim and waystation) ... and the 3rd and 4th look WAY too easily defensible for a meching Terran. The others look decent. We will see though | ||

I remember reading a Dustin Browder AMA long ago where he commented that SC2 had been designed for smaller and medium sized maps. As such the recent trend toward more and more larger maps was odd and not good for the game, IMO. I'd still have liked another two player map, but I can live with smaller 4 player maps too. | ||
