I feel like we've waited a reasonable amount of time. Players want the new maps out there a little before Katowice as was communicated to them, not last minute. | ||

I think the comment was made because people jumped on the maintenance date as if it was confirmed to have the patch and maps, and not as Blizzard should not be expected to be ready to push the changes at this point. | ||

How can Terran win at the highest level? big maps are good for terran vs protoss with good dropship play. it only gets tricky if you want to play ghost liberator style | ||

Maps were too small for a couple of years, just right for a couple of years, and have been too big for almost 10 years tbh. | ||

We're looking at a historically huge map pool, with a historic number of bases per player. | ||

Seems to be more and more likely a Zerg champion again? This is beginning to feel like 2019, where the maps were hugely Zerg favoured and Broodlord infestor meta. It's not as bad, but it does feel like there's an air on inevitability. I wonder how the players are feeling. With the latest version of the patch, it doesn't feel as bad as the buffs are toned down. But I think the balance with the maps is something that most people have not talked about. | ||

It's a complete farce if this balance patch goes through for Katowice though. It's literally the final event of the circuit, why the hell would you change things now? Especially because this patch is quite shit, at best it's controversial and highly experimental. They're still making random changes back and forth, showing that these aren't solutions they've already figured out and decided on, it's all trial and error. People's livelihoods are on the line, just keep it on the same patch and change things after... | ||

Between Echo and Prion Terraces, I don't recognise any of them. I have no explanation for this. Also, I don't understand the order of the maps. It says "Old to new" but Frost is definitely older than Ulrena or Prion Terraces. Why is Daybreak between New Gettysburg and Habitation Station? Daybreak's one of the defining Wings of Liberty maps. Habitation Station is Heart of the Swarm, and New Gettysburg is Legacy of the Void. | ||

Daybreak's one of the defining Wings of Liberty maps. Habitation Station is Heart of the Swarm, and New Gettysburg is Legacy of the Void. It considers only LotV maps. Daybreak and Habitation Station were at one point in the LotV map pool. The order is correct | ||
