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

Well deserved, also awesome to know you found that gas bug that effected game balance, you must be a natural at game testing really.
