This is so weird that there isn't an alternate, modern map pool as well. I guess it's only for 2 mos., but this seems so unbelievably weird to me.

feel free to make your own map pool

Does the next season start just after midnight tonight?

Yes.

Sweet! There's been lots of complaints that the naturals on #dreampool are too wide, but I'll be glad to get rid of Merry Go Round, Foxtrot and King Sejong. Probably overall not that different as a pool in that regard.

I picked Akilon + Shakuras + Daybreak + Ohana. I think this map pool is better for me than what I played in season 3 (Foxtrot + MGR + Deadwing + Overgrowth), though I'll definitely miss Overgrowth

I'd be surprised if Overgrowth wasn't back in Season 1 2015. It's the most played map this season iirc. We probably won't see Catallena, Foxtrot or Deadwing though. They've been vetoed a lot.

If Nimbus is still there in 2015 S1, I lose all faith in anything that ever made sense in SC2. Foxtrot is far better ; I know it's vetoed a lot, but honestly the map is good and overall balanced, the same can't be said for Nimbus that pidgeonholes you into styles and never allows you to deviate -especially true for PvT.

I hope Overgrowth stays too. Like Bel'shir Vestige and Frost, it's just a popular, solid and kinda balanced map. 3 seasons is a lot but I hope it stays.

Foxtrot is an excellent map, people just don't like it because it's different. And I don't think we'll see Overgrowth again. I mean, they got rid of Frost just because it was in the map pool for too long, so they'll do the same for OG

Overgrowth has only been in for 2 seasons, it probably has a season of life left in it.

Also, Foxtrot is good in top right/bottom left but it's almost impossible for P vs Z in the other spawns. It's way too hard to wall the natural and mutalisks have really easy harass paths.

Getting rid of Frost was outrageous (and to be fair it lasted 4 seasons). So no, I'm pretty sure Overgrowth is going to be still there at least for the first 2015 season, it's a balanced, gorgeous and interesting map no race really minds playing.

So shouldn't this be out now on EU? Does anybody know the specific time for the reset?
