Season XV Qualification: New Mappool

As many of you might have seen, the maps for the Season XV Qualification have not yet been announced. We want to take this opportunity and announce the new season's mappool.

Read more for detailed information.

To keep the WC3L up-to-date and always interesting we kept last season's map change and alongside adapt the mappool for the new season.

From the former mappool Gnoll Wood, Lost Temple and Terenas Stand have been removed. As a substitute the new map Death Trap will be added, which leaves us with a 1on1 seven-map-pool:

Echo Isle
Turtle Rock
Twisted Meadows
Secret Valley
Melting Valley
Ancient Isle
Death Trap

Death Trap is a four player map in the Village Tileset with six expansion spots, two goblin merchants and a tavern. All players must download the WC3L maps into their "Maps/Download" folder - Blizzard maps stay in their specific origin.
A bigger picture of the map can be found here.

The 2on2 mappool stays as before:

Avalanche
Gnoll Wood
Lost Temple (RoC)
Turtle Rock
Twisted Meadows

We hope you all like the newly adapted mappool and wish all WC3L Season XV Qualification participants alot of luck and much fun for their matches.

What a good decision!! They removed the Imbalance in Mapvoting. With GW and LT they removed 2 Maps being unplayable for some races like Hum/uD on GW and Elf/uD on LT. If an Orc won his Startmap he had such a big advantage of the mappool because he was ever be able to play GW/LT.

I think they removed TS because it was the same way round with Orc. Orcs cannot play seriously on TS vs. Human or Elf, the map gives them a great advantage within the common stragegies.

WC3L will be more interesting as ever before!!

interesting, let's see how the new mappool will work in the qualification

but unfortunately ... why is avalanche still in the 2n2 mappool ? the 2n2 pool is still very bad in my opinion

MV is way better for orc vs ud than TS at least, but I guess that is not a big concern :p.

TS out isn't the greatest choice, there's more racial "imbalance" on TR/TM depending on player spawns as well as the luck with the item drops. GW LT going out is a good choice and adding a new map is always welcomed.

as ud I can say that removing LT is kinda bad (at least you could replace it with NEO LT ;))

where will Shriek play? No reason for Shriek to play in WC3L.

and TS is really pure peace of imbalanced [censored]

and it's funny about the name of this map. really Death Trap

I don't find it wise to remove 2 of the best human-maps, with human being the race with the worst results since the patch imo.
And the replacement map is an anti-human map.

This is worse for human than orc.. Worst(arguably) orc map is out as well, and the new map seems better for orc than hu. Meanwhile hu lost 2 maps too, and GW was ok for hu with some luck.

gj removing ts, worst map ever made, GW and LT were quite good solid and balanced maps but i can understand the desire for a fresh wind so these maps had to fall, nevertheless good decisions

wtf? LT was the only map on which most of the players use different strat, not standard
and TS dunno which race should be favored on this one.

human really has big disadvantages now, coz the only good map MV will be vetoed. GL Sky/Infi/ToD lol

I thin Death Trap will be a very very good human Map. Theres no fastcreep for elves (tried everything xD)And no Expansion Hiding for Elf because the creeps around the mines are really aggro.

Only thing i dislike -> The Yellow Spot being occupied by the lvl 5 Kobold Taskmaster and the lvl 3 Kobold Geomancers cannot be aow-creeped from every starting position.

The weakening of Tower doesn't make human weak. The maps do. The choice of maps in qualification is one thing, the one in Season XV and even playoff is another thing. I think there will be some modification after the qualification matches.

Fresh air is always good. But every move of the league WC3L should be cautious. Otherwise it will break the balance and lead to a catastrophe.
