hahahaha naming all these maps remind me of when my friends and I used to have 5 person FFAs or 1v1 matches at my house and we'd have people watch on a projector the 1v1 games. So many good times..

Also, I'm surprised the citizens of TL haven't set up some haven for people who still play BW on Battle.net so they can all just play each other and what not

See if you like any maps on broodwarmaps.net , lots of cool maps there by foreigners (to S.Korea) that can be amazingly close to the level of balance some korean maps have.

And Blood Bath. Oh wait...

The most god-awful maps that somehow became popular are:

Python
Heartbreak Ridge
Tau Cross

If someone offers to play these maps, just say no.

I'm a big fan of Match Point as well, it's a fantastic map! Well probably not a horrible map =/ so maybe doesn't qualify here...

I live in Russia. I wear the fufaika, valenoks and the shapka-ushanka with the red star. I drink vodka straight from the samovar, and my riding bear plays on the balalaika.

what? tau and HBR are great maps. Tau is the best snow map ever invented yo. HBR was also an amazing map.

I think Python is the only stupid map that became popular.

What's your point?

Do you imply I don't know how a Swastika looks?

http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/maps/508_Sniper Ridge.jpg

Or do you imply there's no (reverse) Swastika to be seen here?

He means that it is not a "design flaw" since Swastika itself is not negative, especially not in Korean sense, who themselves were victims of WW2.

Ah, okay.

It still take deliberate miss-interpretation of my post to take that as a sign of me not knowing the origins of the Swastika.
Obviously its WW2 connotations are more present in Western European and especially German minds...

I know what you mean... Nazi stole it from it's original Asian root (good luck and prosper) and turned it into something else. But the symbol itself still have important meanings in Asian, and you can understand why Korean maps would have them.

It's like if someone kill millions of people use the cross, and changed its meaning in popular culture. Christians would be pretty sensitive to that also.

Sure, I should have said "Despite what could be conceived as a design flaw in occidental eyes" or something.

Pardon the misunderstanding.

No one has mentioned Lost Temple? Waaaah :O Balanced and fun map. And not quite as "clinical" as a lot of the newer 4p maps (cough fighting spirit, jade, ground zero, cough)
