For those who wasn't there at the time, i got this was because of three reasons. First i was one of the admins at broodwarmaps.net at the time keeping the struggling custom melee mapping community alive. Secondly I made the (not very balanced) map Sattarchasm that was in the PGTour map pool for a while and thirdly, and probably most importantly, i discovered and made the first tests of The Gas Issue - discovering that different vespene geyser positions would get different mining results over time thus affecting game balance. I still find it funny and a bit flattering to see how every pro map after that started to feature our improved mineral positioning line even though only a selected few actually knew that the small crew at broodwarmaps.net originally identified this problem
