automatch/ladder map pool

[JaggedAppliance]

I really didn't like crimson.

[Mephi]

i liked crimson but pizza gets boring, maybe point of reach instead

[Mad`Mozart]

Yes pls point of reach

[Morax]

I really didn't like crimson.

Could you state why as well? I listed a few reasons but am curious as to what made you say this as well.

Crimson Feud is okay, not my favorite, but it's a 5x5 with excessive resources and reclaim. The two hydros make an early comm gun rush way too easy imo.

Artic Refuge is a dinosaur of a SC map where the top comm can easily kill the cars in the "middle meeting" spot and get a fairly quick veterancy advantage. If that map didn't have all that BS reclaim in the middle it would probably be one of the best. I say edit the map if it wants to be a part of the rotation. Maybe replace this with "Veil of Stars" that was in the U1800 tourney? That map was a pretty good alternative with decent reclaim scattered about and good territory-control gameplay.

Crossfire is a great map. I wouldn't mind it hanging in there a little longer so I could learn how to play it better.

This.
I'm not a fan of crossfire, but it's much better than crimson and artic.

Also I am pleased that I have converted Morax to the truth of Veil of Stars.

I'd like to put forth a request for slightly more 5x5 on the ladder.
Not much. just 2 more maps, bringing the total to ~4-5.
Reasoning: I like it. It's fun to have a nice, prolonged fight that takes all your concentration to manage while trying to increase production / tech . It also teaches a lot of unit micro / acu micro!

As a note on 10x10 (and by extension, 20x20) I'd like to see more maps that don't have the preferred strat of gaining half map, then teching and rushing t3 land/air while turtling :/
For that, PoR or Sera glaciers for 20x20,
Syrtis for 10x10, remove these insanely mass-heavy maps like vya-3. Standing Stones would be a good sub.

Syrtis for 10x10,

Quite an oxymoron we got going there

[Mephi]

i fully disagree with adding any 5k maps

[biass]

i am okay with 5x5 if they are not one lane cancer spams like WD

[Blodir]

5x5 maps are incredibly one dimensional. I prefer maps which include some level of decisionmaking
