Reckoner is a map that has recently become increasingly popular in the PUG scene across North America, as well as Europe and Australia. The map is still in its beta stages of development,[1] and author [phi] (who is also the creator of Sunshine) has stated that the map "may or may not be ready for an ESEA launch, but that's up to the players and their feedback".[2]

Both Snakewater and Product (or Viaduct Pro) have updated versions compared to the renditions of the maps used in the previous season. Snakewater started undergoing minor changes on February 10th 2016[3] to optimise the map further for competitive play, and is currently in the _u7 version.[4] The release candidate version for Viaduct Pro was updated before the beginning of Season 21 to _rc8 (along with the name change to Product),[5] and currently ESEA is the only league which still uses the _rc7 iteration.

Metalworks has been a long-time unpopular map in the rotation, and has been put up for potential replacement in map votes of seasons past. Prone to lengthy stalemates and DM-heavy playstyles, removing the map for Season 22 would end a nine-season streak for Metalworks.
