Map design is an evolution, not devolution. Blizzard is still clueless when it comes to maps and their importance. 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?
We saw what happened when Blizzard introduced a map that was similar to map design in 2010. Whatever the name of that horrible map with super wide ramp that they had to tweak after a while because it wasn't possible to play real games on it. The naturals on the old maps are basically all like that.

Cloud Kingdom, Yeonsu, Bel'Shir, Whirlwind, Frost, Akilon, Ohana
Yes, I'm protoss!

What was that cool map in GSL with the beach deck chairs? I think Ohana would be a sensible enough one to put in, all I hope is that there will be a hyper aggressive map in the pool.

Also, to be clear, we are taking suggestions from everywhere. Those are just our official channels. We are reading Twitter, the Battle.net forums, Reddit, here, etc. So feel free to discuss the maps you'd like to see anywhere and we'll take note.
Thanks! Added to the OP .

Metropolis and Entombed valley were also pretty decent I guess
Or maybe it was just me who liked those maps

this one i think? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-maps/417029-2-crux-haeundae yeah i loved watching this map!

If Akilon Wastes and Whirlwind make it back I'll be super happy, two of my favourite maps of all time right there.

Awesome idea . Won't be played very often though at higher levels of ladder because of vetos.

what won't be played? starcraft? o_O
edit: musicus i think you should put the part about all 7 maps being classic in big red text or something to make sure people get it

I want Ohana back! It is such a beautiful map!

This is incredibly stupid

Antiga Shipyard for the win
|
oh yeah, i was googling around and the original version was all i could find. even better with the crazy backdoor highway!

So all pro players are just completely fucked if they want to practice on the ladder during the off-season? The off-season which is going to be super important for practice, considering EVERYONE has to requalify for WCS?
This is going to suck...

I see why they are doing this for the off-season or whatever you want to call it, but it's going to be pretty annoying to not be able to use the ladder anything if you want to practise competetive games. Playing Scrap Station, Antiga Shipyard etc will not be that useful when the next competetive season will hopefully have maps suited for HotS play.
Edit: Just think about how many stuff would be completely broken and only be fun for the first few days (tanks without siege mode denying ppls naturals from their own naturals, tempests shooting from one main to another, swarm hosts making people wish they were in BL infestor era at Daybreak...
Pretty sure you aren't in the WCS/GSL so I wouldn't worry too much. Just go out and have fun. It is a game after all. Personally, I'm excited for some nostalgia

A lot of people are going to veto the map on ladder because it will be imbalanced/dumb and not played in tournaments. The few people who don't veto it still won't get to play it much because of how many other people will veto it.
