Map Pool

This GSTL used the same map pool as the previous GSTL, but was changed mid-season:

• Crevasse (removed on August 5th)
• Xel'Naga Caverns (removed on August 5th)
• Bel'Shir Beach
• Crossfire SE
• Dual Sight
• Metalopolis
• Tal'Darim Altar LE*
• Terminus SE*
• Xel'Naga Fortress
• Antiga Shipyard (added on August 5th)
• Daybreak (added on August 5th)

Crevasse and Xel'Naga Caverns were replaced with Antiga Shipyard and Daybreak between GSL July and GSL August, thus the GSTL Season 1 always used the same map pool as the concurrently running GSL.

* GomTV still shows the names "Terminus RE" and "Tal'Darim Altar" in their broadcasts, while Terminus SE and Tal'Darim Altar LE are played.

• A player is able to achieve consecutive wins against the other team until he is defeated.
• When a player loses, the next player from the team takes his place and selects the map.
