There is no reason to believe there wont be new maps, Blizzard does know SC2 exists considering they are funding ESL Pro Tour prizes, they probably just don’t have good communication atm because of a lot of internal shifting.
At the worst case scenario I’m sure ESL can talk to Blizzard if needed. I get why people were defending Blizzard during WoL, I don't get it now, honestly. All we ask for is one stupid tweet - don't worry, there will be new maps. Or post. OR ANYTHING in this regard. Soon they will have less than a week  Well community managers and the like were the first people who got fired. You can't really blame the unpaid intern working on the game for not having social media presence. He probably doesn't even have the login credentials.

Well if you don't have anyone in contact with the community, you can't hear the criticism. Thus, there aren't problems, that would need addressing.

ESL can announce for them this stuff.
Like c'mon, 3 of the maps are from the 9th June 2020. And the rest is from the 1st October 2020!!! Both times the beginning of the months, so Submarine, Deathaura and Pillars are on the ladder for almost 10 months now! 10 god damn months. With the Submarine! IMO the most vetoed map in the pool - will it celebrate a year on the laddeR? And the rest will be there for a half of a year.
I shouldn't have googled the age of the ladder...
Edit> unless TL uses some fancy US formats, it's late and I am too lazy to check, but I trust in our European mighty standards over Imperial chaos

If there is a new map pool, which there is no reason to doubt, when would be the right time to send them out? I thought it would be done before the new ESL season start, which is today. But there is nothing wrong with delaying this for a couple more months, but it should be done a couple weeks before the Global Finals so that players have time to practice on those. So maps should be out by at least May/June at the latest?

There are new maps! The new season just launched on NA 10 minutes ago.
