Yeah I've been watching a lot of Artosis's games and YouTube uploads, including this series. It was really fun to watch, between seeing the players' strategies and listening to Artosis commentate / make fun of the absurdity of it all

I've really enjoyed Arty's bad map streams. I don't know enough of the old maps to say what is the worst but a lot of these seemed to be purposefully terrible/joke maps, like Crystallis and Crazy Critters. My personal pick from the ones played in this tourney is Jeweled River. God it's so terrible

I haven't actually played BW in so long... making me want to fire it back up.

Ya this was really fun to play, it would honestly be nice if we had more modern FFA focused maps. They could still be wonky and all but a bit of symmetry/polish would be nice..

Hoping to see more team/mass player focused stuff on ShieldBattery when it gets released :-]. It's a great way to bring the community closer together o.,o, BW still has a ton of potential.

Fun series! Arty wasn't a fan of FFAs back in the x17 days. Glad that's changed.

Shout out to the 12-year strong No Hunters Free For All community <3

<3 <3 <3 MUCH LOVE!

Keep up the great work.

I am happy to see different game modes being explored.

I believe any game mode can be made competitive if you try hard enough.

Also a nice break from the normal 1v1...

Hope we can influence Korea in that manner too.

This is the greatest series ever. I could watch hours of someone analyzing bad maps from the early ladder days, or the ones that snuck into leagues that were just garbage, or literally would blind people, etc. So many bads maps. So many ridiculously-placed siege drop location. Ramps going the wrong way. I love it.

What about 815? That would make an interesting/godawful FFA.

This is so funny because I remember playing all these maps when internet was out back in the day. There truly is some treasures that makes you wonder what the creators were thinking lol. They really never envisioned starcraft would become the way it has.

I hope Artosis plays this really huge map 4 x 4 or free for all, forgot the name, with 4 bases on the left, 4 bases on the right. I had so much fun playing there with a friend.
