Season 2 2015 Ladder will lock on June 22, and Season 3 will open on June 29. As per usual, MMR can still be affected during the lock time and a free name change will be given if you do not already have one. No information on Season 3 maps has been released at this point.

Pretty sure it is a campaign screen shot, likely the Overmind level from WoL.

Let's hope season 3 map pool is an improvement over that one. I'll be happy if Inferno Pools and Expedition Lost go away and are replaced with good maps.

EDIT : and please, no more map pool with 3 4-players map. 2 4-players map is a maximum in a 7 maps pool.

If I am to believe my ladder stats this season, Coda is very popular (I have between 30-40 games on Expedition Lost, Echo and Vaani, and have 80+ on Coda). I indeed believe Coda and Echo are solid enough to last until Blizzcon.

Iron Fortress, Expedition Lost and most of all Infernal Pools need to go. Hopefully no new maps have backdoor expansions either, as they are such a pain. I would love to see 3-player maps make a comeback; they were a nice balance of being able to scout within a reasonable amount of time without having to worry so much about proxies.

So hopefully they will just reintroduce s3 maps from last year when it really matters? (proleague finals, etc)

Super excited to see the new maps. Can't for the life of me understand why anybody would think it was a good idea to make inferno pools a ladder map, fuck that map.

Once blizzard presents their new maps you will wish inferno pools never left the map pool.

So there really are not so many player that did not ban inferno pools.
This should be a sign (well, even if the community here is a bit biased anyway).

But I also do like expedition lost, why so much hate ?

I like backdoors a lot in theory, but I wish mapmakers would feel more at liberty to do more to reduce how severely vulnerable some races can be to certain types of attacks that exploit backdoors. They just feel a touch extreme to me is all. Early game Zerg can't do much about them, and yet midgame Zerg and Terran both plow those things down as if they were nothing. And some races are way more vulnerable to those types of attacks than others. Especially mech Terran and robo-centric Protoss. Maybe try something like a double layer of rocks along a narrower ramp, or some HP 3000, armor 4 rocks. Or maybe try a wide ramp that's blocked by a forcefield-like map feature that automatically shuts off at the 15-minute marker.

That last one's actually a pretty neat idea... Maybe I should make a map and submit it to TB for the next season of Clan Wars.

Seems likely to me that most if not all of the new maps will be from the last TLMC d:

I also like backdoor in theory. The thing is that afaik, Blizzard refuses to put on ladder maps with modified rock armor & health values under the reason that it's confusing for players...

I just want to see Ganymede. Dropping Inferno Pools is necessary, dropping Expedition Lost would be nice, Terraform is pretty neat, Echo/Coda are a bit too similar et cetera but my burning desire for Ganymede tops it all.
