2 solutions:
-bigger pool
-fast rotation (2-3 weeks)


I am all for the fast rotation and that is the plan, I just want to make sure the rotation reflects the wishes of those who play the ladder.

Like you said, fast rotation takes away the argument of those who say a small ladder pool will be boring and a BO whoring competition.(BO whoring is just another excuse we make when we lose)

Is it intended that the white fire is the one with the extra navy wrecks?

No, it wasn't -- I updated it to White Fire v2 on TA's request yesterday.

Maybe between two equal players you are right, but if I (1500 rated) play someone 1800 rated ... and they have played that map a lot lately, they will have refined their build order and will have a great head start. My build would be refined as well but there's would be much better. If there was a larger pool then they would have a less awesome build ... and perhaps they wouldn't win in the first 5 minutes.

If you want a small map pool with fast rotations, you don't want a small map pool.

I personally like a little map pool (12 - 16 maps) and it's enough if we change some maps a 3 months or less time period.
