| Season 3 of the Starcraft 2 ladder starts today, 7/7/14 !!!
New maps introduced are shown here:
 
 
Please discuss here what maps you like for your race, and play style, what you are planning to veto and why.
The complete map pool looks like this:
(2) Overgrowth LE
(2) King Sejong Station LE
(3) Merry Go Round LE
(3) Catallena LE
(4) Foxtrot Labs LE
(4) Deadwing LE
(4) Nimbus LE
Currently I have no maps vetoed, but historically I do not like King Sejong Station. I know this is considered a good map for Zerg but it does not work for me. I feel like cheese is very hard to scout. The other map I am eying for veto is Foxtrot labs... though I usually like 4 spawns, this one reminds me too much of Red City which reminds me of dieing to Protoss. Horribly. Over and over.
You can find the TeamLiquid strategy overview of these maps here:

I will really miss Habitation Station and Frost as I do not feel like they had really run their course. (especially with some of the unique builds we were getting on Habitation)
Please share your thoughts and vetoes as you decide, and if you're feeling brave, share your winning percentage on each map!

| Okay I finally got back into diamond tonight. So far this season I have veto on Foxtrot and King Sejong. I just can't handle Foxtrot, it feels like if Protoss opens Phoenix and goes into Colossus I'm just too bad to win ... I do like the other maps so far though. I really miss Frost and Habitation still

I honestly like Catellena bc it reminds me of Merry Go Round. I hate merry go round but i feel it is a better version
Life isn't about winning the race... It is about finishing the race, and how many people we can help finish the race.

| Hello some insight from a dia level terran player 
- Catalenna LE is a great reaper TvT map that being 12/12 rax/gas with a 14 2nd rax 4-6 reaper delayed orbital, likewise great reaper maps also mean great blink play maps so watch your TvP protoss opponent well keep track of his stalker count over 4 or more is trouble! 
- Deadwing seems OP as crossspawn in TvZ you can use the small ramp at the 12 or 6 position to tank up and shell your zerg opponents natural mineral line add a banshee or two for extra chaos!
- Nimbus I havnt played on much
- Foxtrot looks like a good mech map with all the chokes and a reaper opening being very annoying for zerg with all the cliffs. I've 3cc'ed to help wall off the natural that much faster if I think my zerg buddy will let me get away with it, gasless or wiggling pool no extra gas mining being my tells, but with the natural size 3cc may just be the defacto build
gl hf out there!
