"I think the game will be more interesting if we play different maps. I wish Blizzard would support map makers more"
Note that TLO was sick at at the event so his voice is a bit off! Huge thanks to him for doing the interview anyway

You can have a small map pool & new maps at the same time. It's how iCCup's MOTW worked. Thus said, Blizzard may implement MOTM (Maps Of The Month) or something. They may also go back to their MOTS (Maps Of The Season), too. | ||

I never understood this reasoning. I would think the tournaments are the ones to blame. Take DH for instance, if they introduced a new map pool for Winter players would still show up and compete for prize money. In 2012 we had a nearly universal map pool between IEM, DH, IPL, and MLG. If these organizations would change the maps between tournaments players wouldn't cease showing up. But I do agree that it would be nice if Blizzard changed their maps more often. Like every season they get rid of 4 maps and replace them with 4 new ones, then the next season get rid of 4 older maps replacing them as well so that by the end of the year you have a map pool that is completely different than the beginning of the year. | ||

I'm also 100% certain that Protoss will just veto or allin every single game on every good map they create. I think we should just ignore Protoss and make maps for interesting matchups. | ||

With maps like Polar Night and Derelict Watcher, it shouldn't be surprising that Protoss all-ins every game on them given how hard expansions are to take. And then there's Akilon, where long games against Zerg are insanely hard if Zerg goes swarmhost/mass static defence, so Protoss is incentivized to finish the game fast or die by after two hours of fighting locusts. | ||
