I am all for other maps then blizzards junk pool... but really, KSS, Overg. and Frost?
I hope it is only for this season, I cant see these maps doing well in LotV and I am also still fed up with Overg. At least KSS is historically a Kespa map.
I mean these maps can't be worse than what we have in ladder. Maybe Kespa realized how wrong something is when Maru autoloses TvZ because of map and all those korean protosses jut nexus first on Lerilak.

You would go break all the windows in Kespa headquarters because of why? Because your map is in ladder and they don't use it because it is bad? Or because it isn't in the ladder and Kespa should somehow have noticed it?

Because Kespa is effectively saying "the new maps are bad, the only solution we see is to use old maps that aren't even made for this game" ostensibly ignoring the vast body of other existing work of mapmakers. Hell they could have just opened the map forum on TL and polished some maps from there if they wanted to be lazy. It's really a big middle finger to the last remaining few people that still do quality maps for free.
Well, I don't really know how would hots maps would fit into lotv, but at the very least it should acknowledge blizz of how abhorrent the current ladder maps are. Seriously, during hots, I thought dash and terminal would be the last worst map
i dont really understand to use these old maps. the new maps are not to weird: frozen temple, invader and ruins of of endion are pretty standart i understand not to pick the Korhal map but these

Yeah I mean I'm super cheesed that they didn't pull Cassiopeia instead of KSS, what were they thinking

Personally I'm beyond hyped, partially because of the message this sends, and part because I fucking love those three maps

And so your response would be to bombard their HQ with chicken wings until the windows break? Do you realise how completely insane that sounds?
Not to mention, what a waste of food that would be.

I guess I still haven't increased my posting frequency enough to get you guys to know me. Otherwise I can't explain why anyone would presume I am sane and such faulty prejudice leads naturally to misunderstanding.

Seriously, at this rate I don't even want to see the new wc3 maps they are making...

Did we just establish the relationship between LAN technology and good maps? I think that's a huge step forward for Science.
