EPTSo I started this series in January to give a proper level of appreciation for all the melee mapmaking efforts the Team Liquid community has put out there. I don't know if this will ever become popular or not, but if even one person sees it and appreciates a map on the list, I'll consider my goal a success.
Thank you to everyone supporting us in the mapmaking community, and a shout out to those who make the community what it is. If you see a map you like, please take a moment to go to the respective map thread and show the mapmaker your support.
As with last month, the maps have been divided into three categories:Mapmaking Team - Maps that were made by a member of a mapmaking team
Polished - Maps made by unaffiliated individuals that showcase a higher level of aesthetic quality*
Novice - Maps made by unaffiliated individuals that are of lower aesthetic quality than polished maps*
* These designations are 100% subjective and focus purely on aesthetics, and should not be taken as an indication that a map is necessarily "better" or "worse" than any other.
With that said, here are the maps the TL community released in February!
