It looks like GomTV are looking to combat the era of Terran dominance by removing gold bases from ALL of their maps - in what seems to be a desperate attempt to reduce the significant lead a 3-base player can achieve with MULE's.

In addition to these changes, Metalopolis, Xel'Naga Fortress and Terminus have overstayed their welcome, and will no longer be seen in the GSL Map Pool.

Please consider these map changes when hosting tournament matches in the future, as we can probably expect these updated versions of the maps to arrive on SEA soon enough.
