Playing Scrap Station, Antiga Shipyard etc will not be that useful when the next competetive season will hopefully have maps suited for HotS play. i think the likelihood that they make minor alterations to the older maps to suit the modern meta is very very high.

The game has changed significantly since these maps were on the ladder. Unless you have tried them, how do you know whether the maps would or wouldn't work with the new units and tweaks? | ||

I can't veto the entire map pool and even if I could that would mean no maps to play on. The ENTIRE map pool is being chosen by community polls from old maps. | ||

Can you imagine Blink Stalker all ins on Metalopolis? Can you imagine ZvT on Xel'Naga caverns? The only maps that in my mind make any sense to bring back are Tal'Darim Altar, Whirlwind and maaaaaaaaaybe Shakuras Plateau. | ||

I still play it from time to time. It so silly its fun :D. I hoping for  Scrap Station. I loved that map back in the day - I would come back and play ladder again in this season just for that map alone. | ||
