EPTI wanted to create this around the holidays, but only now had time to get around to it. I hope you like it. The original file is 4000x4000 pixels in size, so no image host would take it without recompressing it, so here's a sneak-peek at the full version, some wallpaper-sized cutouts, and a download link to the full-sized version.
BW fighting!

- How long did this take?

Most of the work was actually going through a lot of replays and picking spectacular/appropriate events to include (as space gets scarce it's harder and harder to find fitting things happening at a certain spot), I have plenty of experience assembling screenshots, so that goes pretty fast once I have the scene. I spent maybe 1.5-2 hours assembling the empty map, then three afternoons and a morning lazily watching replays and adding scenes whenever I had some time.

- [about doing the same with SC2 maps]
I'm afraid that's not possible in the idea's current form - since SC2 is 3D, units look different from different angles, so you couldn't stich screenshots together like this.
- Which replays did you use? Where can I download them?
All replays are from TL's replay database (except for 2 of my own) here's the list of areas I could match up with sources:

- Will you do more like this?
I might, sometime. If you can recommend a pretty map which has
a) a lot of high level replays available
b) very few map versions
feel free to mention it!
- Download not working, other mirrors?
Let me know in the comments as hosts give up, I'll be uploading new mirrors.
amazing work!
Thanks for dropping by!
