You forgot Gauntlet, they basically copied it, with a few changes, on the desert tileset due to the wider bridges, and it was used in the pro scene for a bit.

You missed the map (5)Diablo..... It's actually a really fun map for 2v2, although the centre is poorly designed.

I can list a few more you missed. And I've only been into the SC scene for about a year :S (technically, I've had the game since it was out, but I wasn't really into it)

Blizzard really did do a lot with their maps. Although, I don't know how much innovation they can have in SC2 - a lot has already been done with the original, and in many respects, the games are similar. Although, maybe some of the concepts which were flops in the original could be amazing in SC2. We'll have to wait and see.

if you talk about blizzard and evolution of map making you cant skip wc3 ...

even without dota there are hundreds of amazing custom maps and i guess im not the only one who had more fun with wc3 custom maps than with the real game. with the sc2 editor being even more powerful, i can see the same happening to me for sc2.

Wow great read, never knew that Lost Temple was a map made by Blizzard. Makes sense that it's in sc2.

+ Show Spoiler +
Off topic but does anyone know if Blizzard could remake sc:bw maps for sc2 if they weren't the ones who created them? I'm guessing yes since it's their game but just wondering.

I've played a few of those maps but a lot of them like black hole I haven't ever heard of. Interesting.

Was just actually playing some 3 man FFAs on Overlook a few weeks ago. Even though 3 man ffas are the worst.

Seriously. My friends and I had a Mutton tourney in high school. Turns out Mutton is imbalanced since one of the starting positions doesn't have an area full of critters so you can place your first building easily.

at least mutton gives you something to do whilst you wait 5 mins for your first hall to build
