I think there are no new maps since changing the map pool now before IEM Katowice is a little bit unreasonable for pro players. That being said there is no reason for Blizzard to keep silent and not communicate the state of the new maps on a post or something.

What is so hard about switching one string out to connect a map in the ladder pool? This is not hard computer science technology. Blizzard is getting lazy. Same with balance patches. If you can easily modify values in a map editor, you can easily modify values on the ladder board through dev admin access dashboards.
Please add in some new maps at least.

They dont communicate. They just censor and ban people now.

i am seriously appalled with this, that is like half the hype of a new season, NEW MAPS. if there’s no new maps there’s no reason to keep playing, i just playing 800 games on those maps… sigh, i didn’t think that post meant the end of EVERYTHING sc2 but it truly did, i didn’t want to believe it. here it is.

I would be fine with playing on older maps like let the people vote on what maps go into the map pool atleast! some of these maps are AWFUL to play on and many people (like myself) eagerly wait for the new map pool.

This is an excellent idea. Even if blizzard doesn’t have the time to review maps for their perfect symmetry and design for stale meta gameplay. Bringing in older maps would do the job well too.

According to several sources (a french site also relayed this), the maintenance of Blizzard’s classic games has gone to Vicarious Visions. it’s possible the transition period just took place around the seasons change, explaining why no map pool was performed nor announced. 
Today is the day I first read someone wanting to declare the game dead. Oh wait…

Oh I wish. The chat is disgraceful. They have crazy right wingers bashing everyone else. Its insane and has nothing to do with SC2.

They dont even have a map team. A select group of players have been making the maps for blizzard since mid wings of Liberty unpaid.

Talk to the CEO of racism
Isn’t this because IEM Katowice is coming up and they don’t want to change the map pool right before?
A likely excuse for a lazy company.

Would be an excuse if we had an official statatement, but there was no comunication at all, we don’t know anything, only speculations,that’s the worst thing,worse than being lazy.

No they’ve always released the maps in all prior years and there’s plenty of time for them to be learned before Poland.

Doesn’t look like they changed them for Season 2 either. Would be nice to just have a rotation of old maps; really doesn’t feel like that would be something hard to do. Sigh…
