Does Metalopolis allow close spawns or not? I don't remember.

I voted steppes not because it's the trollsy thing to do, but emphasizes on the spirit of the map pool, if we're gonna get ridiculous maps, why not go full crazy and see what comes out of it.

as for the pro-scene, what I assume tournament organizers/pro's will do, is continue on the current map pool, though I would really like to see them move to community maps, this is the ideal moment to do so and might be a missed opportunity otherwise.


Isn't the current mappool 100% community maps?


yes it is, and foxtrot/nimbus/catallena could stay imo, the other maps are getting old and deadwing is pretty cancerous.

I could expand further but that would make an off-topic wall of text.

Really interested in the reaction of tournament organizers. Will they play the safer way using the old stupid ladder maps or will they try to use some fresh and new community maps with the risk of them being imbalanced ?

There would be an (understandable) outcry from the community if these maps were used in a "serious" tournament. I'm almost certain, without having actually checked, that the big upcoming tournaments will stick to the S3 map pool.

It would interesting and fun if the map pool contained a number of maps which are Z, P and T favored. However, I'm pretty sure Zerg is going to get completely ruined on most of these maps, even those that were in the past considered Z favored. (In the current meta, P and T both have a number of stable options for large macro maps).

I'll bet they will just use last season's map pool, which is the "safest" option. (The risk of stagnant play/meta from using the same maps will of course not be factored in to the safety calculation)

I don't see it being so effective on TDA precisely because people will play more cautiously knowing the possibility is there.

At my 'peak' I actually had a lot more luck with 4 gating people than when I had way lower MMR opponents, precisely because people were discounting it as a possibility

I went with

- Steppes (Wanna see how people react to it; should lead to some hilarity, which is much needed atm imo)
- Shakuras (First "good' map)
- Habitation Station (One of my favorite maps)
- Whirlwind (Another great macro map)
- Antiga (I just like third bases)
- Metalopolis (Loved this map so much in WoL. Most playable of the old "bad" maps)
- Tal'Darim Altar (Considered Shattered or XNC, decided to vote for a real map)


I get why some people are miffed at the bad maps, but as a more casual player, I'm really looking forward to the most diverse map pool in SC2 history

4 Gate still works on the maps we have currently, assuming the opponent doesn't scout or is doing a risky build to being with (both of which are possible given that people assume 4 Gates don't work). On TDA all you'll see in PvP are 4 Gate and 10 Gate 3 Gate builds.

EDIT:

At higher levels this might not be as much of a problem, but I have a stupid win-rate with 4 Gate and 10 Gate 3 Gate builds at Masters level so that covers 98% of the player population or whatever. TDA is a terrible map. Of course, we're going to end up with terrible maps no matter what happens by the looks of it =/


Just reminded me to meta game about it.

I honestly believe that anyone who doesn't vote Steppes has no soul. Or maybe that's Ohana. Either way vote for those maps people!
