It's a good idea, and helps with many of the current problems with TLMC. Instead of one contest per year with the maps getting to ladder and the tournament scene 4 to 16 months down the line (and several patches down the line though that might not be a problem going forward), they could instead hold smaller contests more regularly, and test them out by using them in the ESL Open Cups for example. And with a system like that you can take bigger risks with maps, since if it turns out through regular testing in the open cups that a map has glaring issues, well then you can just swap it out from the pool before bigger tournaments happen. However while that's great for tournaments I don't think that really solves the problem of ladder. The bottleneck has never been a lack of maps, but rather that Blizzard has to get around to QAing and performance testing to make sure that any toaster PC they officially claim to support for SCII can run on the maps. And doing that and uploading maps to ladder is the one thing that Blizzard cannot offload to the community. | ||

Hey, I get that placement matches intro every time which reminds me to check them maps  Although it would be nice if Blizzard realized that after 5 or 6 years of unranked I really not gonna do them. | ||

Assuming we don't get ''new'' maps at new season start in April, what recent map (< 3 years) would you like to see comeback in the new rotation ? Was looking for this thread to save the link and revive later this month because I have a bad feeling. So thanks for saving me time To your question - none. I want new maps and remove the damn Submarine finally, it's atrocity. | ||

That pipedream aside I’m mostly looking for some kind of rigid framework and timeline for how map pools will be implemented in the future. Unless I’ve missed stuff there doesn’t seem to be a huge amount that’s concrete in this regard. | ||
