Hey guys,
I'm a very casual BW player, meaning I only play some games vs. my brother twice a year when I visit my family for the past ~8 years and some games vs. AI in between to keep my mechanics en par.
We had an awesome map-pack at some point, including 5 or 6 Korean competetive maps and pretty large preview-pictures for each of them, which made inventing tactics very easy.
Now I somehow lost the pack and I wonder if you guys could help me out and recommend some balanced, competetive maps. The standard maps are all really bad, at least in my SC2-mind, for they don't have easily accessible naturals, have naturals without gas or have very few bases in general.
One map I remember well is the one with the giant reverse-Swastika on it.
Despite that design flaw, it always played out very nicely.
The second one that comes to mind - and if you guess this one, I'll be amazed - was l-shaped (more long than wide) and had a layout very much like Crossfire (former GSL map) and a green-ish tileset.
I'd greatly appreciate your input in regards to favourite BW-maps.
Thanks,
k.

1) many maps have giant reverse-swastika lol.
some that looks like they have them are:
- Sniper Ridge
- La Mancha
- Dante's peak (maybe?)
- Icarus
- Tornado
2) Shin Chupung Ryung
|
2nd one must be (Sin) Peaks of Bakdu. Crossfire was almost an exact remake except they did away with the annoying small paths in middle so only small units could pass.
|
Azalea may be the map with the reverse-Swastika.

You guys are amazing, Sniper Ridge and Peaks of Beakdu are correct.
How do I filter the maps by pro-league? 
Okay, the last one that might have been my absolute favourite:
2-Player Map, green tileset, natural accessible through small ramp (from main) and then there's a very large center area.
The natural has a river with two bridges directly in front of it and it definitely has an English name.
There was a back-path behind the natural that led up into the main, provided you brought a harvester to remove some minerals.
