Production notes[edit]
The Historic Battle pack was originally envisioned as only shipping with three maps; Barrens, Blood River and Memorial Basin. However, Robot Entertainment saw a large fan demand for more 3v3 maps, and instead investigated the possibility of creating a new 3v3 map. Ultimately, it was determined infeasible to create a new map from scratch, so as a compromise the existing map Frozen Valley was used as a basis from which to create a new 3v3 map; Glacial Ravine.[4]
