Blizzard decides which makes to take despite their place in contests. I was pretty sure Ecosphere would make it as new 4p map but Blizzard thought different.

I'm still salty that Ganymede that was 2nd in previous TLMC didn't make it that season or the previous one.


You are right, Ganymede could easily replace on of the most likely imbalanced maps. Maybe if blizzard gets enaugh feedback from (pro-)players they change it. They changed mappools before based on community feedback.

Wow, some interesting choices, looking forward to see how the Pro's will play on these maps.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

Yeah I wouldn't count too much on Blizzard coming to their senses.

oh shit i just realize gangnam terran is back heheheh and didnt like moonlight at first because of back door but with all the rock i think you be fine, might even take 12 o'clock base as nat then 2 o'clock as third and so on might be the best map pool in a while but will need to see some ladder games. might start playing more again but wont get my hopes up.

Bridgehead is gonna be the new inferno pools/secret spring joke of the map pool.
The mains are so narrow and stupid.

Don't know why people hate Bridgehead. Luckily I have enough vetoes this season for the rest.

The more I think about it the more this map pool doesn't make any sense. Will probably focus on LotV this season.

why on gods forsaken earth would they ever contemplate adding Ganymede, which looks standard, reliable and good, when they can add awkward looking maps with backdoor rocks and/or backdoor expansions and/or gold bases and/or multiple collapsable rocks

I'm a bit torn about the responsibilities for this dreadful map pool (for me the worst we had since HotS began by a large margin). I'd say they are shared by Blizzard for choosing those maps and by the TLMC voters for bringing so many awkward/strange/"unique snowflake wannabes" maps in the spotlight.

Anyway, we (players) are fucked as usual.

TL community had nothing to do with the maps, the vote decided who was the TLMC winner. Blizzard picked the finalists themselves and also picked the ladder maps themselves too.

You're right, seems Blizzard picked the finalists "in conjuction" with the TLMC judges... So yeah, mostly Blizzard's fault .

And I'm really surprised the harsh poll results don't at least make Blizzard react with some statement ("we want to promote atypical play", "good time to shake the meta", at least some bullshit trying to explain)...
