How do I adjust my map preferences for ladder play? To adjust your map preferences, log in to Battle.net, choose or create your character, and select the Multiplayer button in the top left of the screen. Click the Map Preferences button toward the bottom left of the Quick Match screen, and then click the check boxes next to each map you would like to vote against playing in your ladder matches. When you're done, click Save Preferences. There are separate map preferences for 1v1, 2v2, and free-for-all (FFA) modes that are each saved independently of one another. To adjust the map preferences of a different mode, select the bracket you wish to adjust preferences for and click the Map Preferences button. Click the check boxes to vote against the maps you would least like to play and click Save Preferences.

Hmm, detail-ey. We're waiting for confirmation on this leak, but we do the open beta is around the corner (and we're hoping to have some love for a few lucky Atomicans...), and that the full game will be released this year.
