Sloppy natural placements on Felix. A zerg look like they can as per usual FE at 11 and 1, but not 5 and 7, since the distance is larger from the ramp on those two. I rather like the map though, it looks the best of them, but snow is not easy on the eyes.

Eye looks interesting, but I'm not a fan of artistic concept maps, where they clutter stuff around just to make it look like an image.

The rest are trash. They don't look appealing, and they don't seem to offer anything interesting in terms of gameplay.

Well of course Rush hour is kind of nice, but imbalanced from spawning positions, as with nearly all 3 player maps. The redone natural at 11 helps zerg, but hurts protoss against a terran at 7. Even though it has produced a some good games (TvZ, PvZ mostly), I think it's time to retire this map.

Sooooo... you're telling us that OGN mapmakers are biting off your ideas... for maps to use in OSL?

do you think they are gods who discover everything 3 decades before everyone else? did it even hit you that they probably downloaded their editor programs and learned about neutral buildings on staredit.net like everyone else? no, it probably didnt, right?

Im not down for The Eye, Sting looks like it has potential. Arcadia seems decent.

Some of these maps are less Zerg friendly than previous maps. Thats a good thing though since Zergs are dominating the bw scene lately... except that wonderchild oov is #1

it seems my post wasn't saved, i gonna repost it:

judging as mapmaker:
rhIII: dont wanna re-discuss the pros and cons again
felix: interesting approach. nats slightly imbalanced, but not too bad. if the author was going for a perfect map, he should have inested some more time there. the overall idea is not bad, but it is exected a bit too narrow. the map may feel good in 1on1, but 2on2 will be quite strange and uncomfortable here.
arcadia: everything is ushed to the mapedges. the center is quite pointless and doesn't fit into the map. plus, if it the chokepoints wouldn't be bridges, everybody would scream n cry due to tight passages- the bridges only covers this. good concept, though, but posting this map at BWMN could really have made this map into kickass. very good idea, though. expansion layout could be improved, though. seems a lot like expoing around the map in a cricle without getting into much fighting action; while the enemy is doing the same.
the natural/minonly-setup is too much money on one place imo. favors turteling too much, because getting expos in early is so easy then.
sting: the map is way too tight and to terran-favoring. there'll be no way in ZvT. most imbalanced map of all. pure ownage of terrans. taking the expo layout into considering, it's just no way against terran.
the eye: it is a bad joke. where are you supposed to build? there is almost no building space on the whole map - BUT the expansion layout at natural/minonly screams to moneymappish style...ridiculos, give the players so much money is no really favoring gameplay. a pure for-the-look-map. dont ever take such a map for competative play. TvZ ownage: zerg cannot FE, while terran has no trouble getting natural and second expo. in mid- to lategame, terran is able to shoot every expo from above with tanks. GGnore.

/edit
uh, bad style. too lazy for making it more elaborate now ~~

But drops look like they would rape on Sting.
Even the nat has huge, hard to cover pocket. Big open pockets aren't bad... but i dunno -_-;; It's hard to say. People talk about balance without playing a map and I find it hard to believe.

I WANT THESE FOR DL~_~_~_~_~_ WHERE???????????
