You sound like you got blink all in'd every game.
How are Daybreak and blink all-ins even connected in your mind?

wtf are you talking about? two of the maps are NOT current ladder maps. that's two more than what is typical. so how are they "mindlessly aping the ladder"? they literally used ONE map from the current pool, which was probably done as a courtesy to players as daybreak is the most popular map in the dreampool and the players will have a decent time practicing for it on ladder if they wish
and if they didn't "mindlessly ape the ladder", by which i assume you mean using maps that aren't from the current or previous ladder pool, the players would hate it. totalbiscuit tried it already in some of his tournaments, typically the players (especially koreans) didn't take it very seriously and seemed to dislike playing on random maps. so blaming tournaments is also pretty stupid.

It's funny. In its time, Daybreak wasn't really all that bad of a map.
It was T favored in TvZ (~56%?) but it was alright. I just wish they'd use this opportunity to use their own maps.
That was also at the beginning of hots. Daybreak was not exceptionally Terran favored compared to the other maps.

I am talking about the fact that they felt obligated to include a current ladder map at all. This is not a normal ladder map pool. If they used last seasons maps no one would bat an eye, they are still fresh enough that players would not be disadvantaged. And I did say Blizzard were stupid for creating this situation in the first place.

better than blink kingdom...
this always puzzled me but: shouldnt a completely flat map bring the best results considering balance evaluation? After that proved the balance to be fine we can move on to more complicated maps. But developing maps for years and years just to get the winrate of a special race or tactics down to 50% does point out to the balance not being fine at all. And I am not pointing to a particular race right now, blink is just an example
