But yeah, honestly tournaments need to shake up their map pools more for viewers. I know Daybreak is basically balanced as all hell, so progamers like it, but we like shiny new things. So I'm hoping OSL do look into including new maps. And perhaps even GSL needs to look into a rotation of maps. Like it has 10+ in it's pool and it uses a certain 7 in one season. That would be pretty sweet to be honest. | ||

I don't even care if they turn out bad, it's just nice to see maps that are so different. | ||

These maps are very interesting to say the least. I hope KeSPA takes a lot of risks in their map pool to keep gameplay fresh, even if it might mean some imbalance. Who knows, maybe a few of their maps might be balanced and interesting enough to be worthy of ladder.

BW had really imbalanced maps sprinkled it all the time (happens when you experiment) but you have to remember that is also how they kept the game fresh, Daybreak got beyond way too old so long it's not even funny. Kind of funny how they're trying pre standard nat bw maps but should be fun to see how it goes. | ||

I would hope for less balance whine, more map whine plz. Let the map help out terran and protoss. | ||
