Hoping finally they will pick a map or even two of Freakling, even KSL surrendered to beauty of them but ASL being stubborn thinking only koreans can make decent maps.

Overwatch was made by Negativezero, who is primarily a SC2 mapmaker, but shows great talent in BW mapmaking as well. He is here on Teamliquid

Freakling is taking this one home, those are beautiful maps man!

Well I'm out for the count... this was my submission :S Also noticed after submitting that the 7-8 o'clock path is one tile narrower than the others *facepalm*

Incidence looks rad.
In fact, most of these maps do.
Good luck on the vote.

Some update:

Okay, so I have been informed that both (3)Flight Path and (3)Inner Coven are in the next round. I also got some feedback from three anonymized judges on both of them, including English translations (albeit not very good ones). So this tells us a) that they are again looking for maps that are a bit on the crazy side, and b), that they are running a well organized and thought out map contest this time, which is really nice to see for a change.

Feedback so far is mostly that both maps are so far out layout- and mechanics-wise that it is basically impossible to predict how gameplay and balance would turn out and eventual adjustments would have to be determined through game testing (no surprise).
I guess for me personally the drawback is that these maps making it all the way through now entirely hinges on the delicate balance (or lack thereof) of these crazy maps.

I'll keep you updated.
