I really do think that very non-standard and occasional batshit crazy maps like New Polaris Rhapsody and this are required if people don't want the scene to do die. Great mechanical play on a standard 1v1 map in GSL finals in great but new these kind of things are needed to create OH SHIT moments, generate discussion and intrigue new players. This is a great point. Many friends of mine ended up playing competitively/competitive game types after starting out in the casual ones. | ||

If it's too nonstandard, it will end up on the ban list, and people won't want to play it. I like nonstandard maps, but those maps have a tendency to be widely imbalanced and hated by at least one of the races. | ||

No one is talking about ladder, however maps that aren't the same standard 4 corners or opposite end fortress maps are needed. Maps like Ulrena for example are required. When you actually think about it, we've been playing the same 2 or 3 maps for the past 6 years for the most part. They've just been reskinned and slightly tweeked to avoid someone calling them out for it | ||

I think you might have misunderstood my point somewhat, but I see where you're coming from. I've seen many TL forum goers say they started off in UMS, team leagues or AI bashing. Its gettimg that initial interest. Some in Quake 3/Live might start off in public DM/CTF servers (or crazy stuff like Mr Pant's Overkill mod) and end up playimg CPM/competitive duel. Having said that, too much variety and competitive elements get drowned out. | ||
