News - StarCraft II

The fourth season of the StarCraft II ladder has been locked, which entails everything that came with the previous season locks; players will not be promoted or demoted in league, hidden ratings will still update during the lock, and ratings will carry over from season four to season five. Season five will start sometime during the week of December 19.

There is also an update to the ladder map pool coming with season five. In the interest of prioritizing tournament-viable maps, two maps are being removed and two are being added in:

These maps will be removed:

(4)Abyssal Caverns
(4)Nerazim Crypt

These maps will be added in their place:

(2)Arid Plateau
(4)Entombed Valley

The images of the two new maps can be found below.
