Wish they did add a few smaller maps and also i wish map makers would add some distance between expands.
Look at a map like frost. Its to easy to defend multiple bases with todays maps. Would be a lot more scirmish and action if they put the expansions farther away for each other and not so compact.

I really like the new maps i think we will see great games on them, i really like the way they handeling the 1v1 mappool atm

but im very sad blizz is just switching 1 team map in 2v2 3v3 4v4,
yes 1v1 is the main point but i als enjoy some team games with my friends but atm the team maps are so bad or old in my opinion and most of them didnt changed for ages, would be nice to see more changes there

Rush distances for season 3 from top of main ramp to the other (previous season right column) :

32s Fracture - 33s Darkness close position
33s Blueshift - 35s Redshift
35s Dreamcatcher -
36s Cerulean Fall - 36s Catalyst
39s Lost & found - 39s 16bits
42s Para Site -
43s Acid plant - 44s Dark cross position


The maps are the smallest they have been in a long time.

I really like the colour scheme for Blueshift and Cerulean Fall. That canyon in Canyon of Tribulation is pretty eye-catching as well.

Why couldn't Blizzard retire Acid Plant? Pros have been playing on it constantly because the other maps are worse, not because it is amazing.

I like the first one, just because it is not a dark map again.
Please, map creators, more bright and shiny maps! <3

4 player maps are awful to make, awful for pro play.

Has there been a genuine desert map since late Wings of Liberty/early Heart of the Swarm?

After two questionable map pools in a row we have a good one! All those maps look way better than what we have currently. Now I can use my vetoes for things other than blocking gimmicky maps.

Map pool looking good so far, decent overall macro maps!
Also +1 for keeping Acid Plant!

Redshift gone and no other "crazy" map instead of it. I loved it, like Battle for Boardwalk. It created so many interesting situations, not only in my games, but also many more in progames I've watched. IMO SC2 is more interesting with less standard maps.

If I'm to complain I would say the pool is a bit boring and there are too few grassy maps.
