Map Pool
Map pool consists of 10-12 maps specifically uploaded to the Resource Center and marked as “Category: RAGL” and explicit naming and thumbnail watermarks. Usage of any other versions of these maps for the league games is disallowed and will be rejected from being reported as a valid match result.
New in Season 8: All maps include a custom-made design of a Refinery (ERCC) made by Widow and FRenzy to improve the ore mining balance between various refinery positions. The refinery has reduced footprint (3x3 with no additional occupied cell at the top), all of its cells except bottom-left and top-right are passable.
Trapped is a bit traditional competitive map. Pretty good.
I think TA is showing us an option to go naval aggressively, by using T3 ships to raid enemy's main base, which is wonderful in my opinion.
If we never give naval units a chance in competitive games, maybe we could not reach the true conclusion whether naval is an good choice or not for high skilled matches.
I want to vote on Sonora if it is the last version wippie made. It seems like he decided to change it back to the original because he prefered that one, but I personally think the edited version was better.
If it's not the last one, then I guess I will vote on Ysmir
