Topic Metropolis LE Removed from the Ladder

We have become aware that the recently added Metropolis LE GSL tournament map is causing performance issues for some players. We’ve investigated the cause of these issues, and it has been determined that significant alteration of the map will be required to address them. As a fair and high quality competitive experience is very important to us, it will be necessary to remove the map from the ladder while these issues are resolved. The map is scheduled to be removed from the ladder during next week’s maintenance period. We will be cooperating with the map creator in an effort resolve the performance issues, and we hope to see Metropolis LE return to the ladder in a future season.

For those who still wish to play games on this map, it will continue to remain available via the custom game interface.

Anything specific to map terrain or doodads that causes these issues? so I don't use them when making maps in editor.

Okay. Replace it with another map that was polled in the GSL voting poll? I don't think it ought to be removed unless there's another map to replace it.

We still have more maps (and better maps) than last season.

Hopefully we get this map back with a decent FPS soon, it's a cool map.

Calm down folks, sounds like they're planning on only removing it temporarily. I agree that if they determine that the problem cannot be fixed then the next highest map in the poll should replace it.

FAIL they hate zerg, aka zerg have been winning too much on this map, it will no longer be coming back, instead we will have a map with 4 close position expos, no open spaces, and rocks at all expos!

Hope the issues get resolved soon.

Good move though by Blizz in removing it quickly. It's better to have it out than to have people losing because of FPS on it.

Unfortunate, Metropolis is the best new 4 player map in quite some time.
