It's time for a Matchmaker map pool rotation to introduce new maps (and give some old ones some love too).

Removed from 1v1 pool:


Shimmershore v1.0
Zed 2.3
Obsidian_1.5
Comet Catcher Redux v3.1

Added to 1v1 pool:


Something old: Into Battle v4
Something new: Thornford 2
Something borrowed: EvoRTS-New_Iammas-v05
Something blue: Aurelian v1.0

The same changes apply to the teams MM pool with one exception - Comet Catcher remains a MM teams map.

All of these changes are now in effect except for Into Battle, which will be added to the map pool after the next stable fixes its 1v1 startboxes.

Personally I wouldn't mind adding Quicksilver if and when its technical issues are resolved.

Can't you disable roads by default?

I would have expected them to be disabled by default already, but apparently not?

The trees on Quicksilver are also alleged to cause lag for some players.

Finns Revenge could be featured for teams with some technical fixes.

Twin Lakes Park and Shifting Sands could potentially be featured with some more testing.

I gave serious consideration to proposing the unfeaturing/untagging of Storm Siege, Grts_DesertValley and Small Supreme Battlefield/Islands/Dry but my impression is that some people like these maps. Any comments on this?

Supreme Battlefield to me is a big classic and should remain as it reminds me of Setons clitch on SC1, SC2, And Faf =D

Storm Siege can go. Could Dead Reef Dry be added in the pool?

EDIT: sorry i did not see it was for the MM. FOrget then.

Are there still some issues which need a fix to make the map feature worthy?

Manu when we last spoke about SS, we were going over how a few people's impression of the map was that it was just a "concept" or "unpolished". But who sets the bar, really?

Maybe all it needs is to look prettier and people will somehow equate that to "finish".

With all respect, it will always look like a "concept" because it does not look like a natural terrain (more or less). But that should not mean that it cannot be included in the pool.

I think I'll give the featured/teams-tagged pool another pass after the map contest is done.

The Into Battle change is also still pending. It's been a while since the last stable.

Into Battle is now present in the 1v1 and teams matchmaker pools.
1v1 boxes are SW vs NE
Teams boxes are W v E
