If the foreign community could vote on their top 3 new maps that'd be a huge help. | ||

Recently there was a foreign fund raiser to hold a KCM legends match. We are working hard to reboot the series. I think I can have him use the foreign maps during the foreign sponsored day. | ||

Protoss wall ins do not take in account for 'what if Zerg runs in via the back, destroys the temples, mines out the minerals or uses burrow jump?' Full Album I will try to post wall ins for Overwatch within If you have tips for improvement on formatting please PM me! | ||

Hard to believe they would choose such a map for the ASL.... Maybe they could host some sort of mapping competition and judge them (players and organizers)? It's not as if Korea lacked talented map makers of their own. Just look at the maps of LatiAs, Noah2nd, twos/single[nemec](he's used different pseudonyms) or Herb, just to name a few who have been recently active (and that's not to speak of the thriving map making community there was before SC2). And as I understand it, all of them have taken steps to promote their own maps and inform about the flaws of designated "official" maps like these. But it seems like the message simply does not get through. Seems like, whenever they want a new "official" map for an upcoming competition, Korean tournament hosts, no matter whether they are Sonic, or whoever is responsible on Afreeca right now, just keep to asking some former "pro mapper" to hastily patch together some more or less badly-made and completely untested map (and by untested I mean that you cannot even just start a game on them and be sure your mining workers won't bug out). Maybe they figure that mappers are just too biassed and jealous when their own maps are not being picked. It is a bad reason to dismiss actual solid arguments for though. | ||

Its not like its bad zvp either. High ground/choke lurkers? Yes please. Its gonna be ridiculous tvt with those high grounds all around the mains and expos. I suspect wraiths/drops will be used more often by some people. TvP its gonna be easy for terran to attack/defend, and easy fpr toss to take expos. These can balance out, or not, depending on the playstyles and openers. Carriers and recalls will be funny, as well as late game terran pushes. Pvp will be full of allins/reaver drops vs defensive goons and high ground hoging with dragoons. 3 gate goons will be funny. | ||

Ragnaroks Overwatch was revealed: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/509887-new-official-map-overwatch-090 LatiAs saw it, then created and posted his map within 24 hours incredibly. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/509912-map-4overwatch_09 See my post in that thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/509912-map-4overwatch_09#17 He then tweaked the map and made a new thread which is the one I linked earlier: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/510359-map-4overwatch_094 LatiAs mentioned exams and hasnt been visible since. I made some tweaks to his map for my own enjoyment but you can download it here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/510359-map-4overwatch_094#6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @BisuDagger Thats very kind thankyou! I'll PM you. | ||

Don't know why iCCup didn't add it to pack long ago when everybody pleased with it. NegativeZero congratz also with getting your map into sc2 ladder. I miss your SC2 to BW ports. | ||
