Maybe upload here: https://repmastered.app/maps. | ||

 But it's funny to know that Korean mapmakers (or at the very least Latias) were looking at Bwmn back then.I would say one of my biggest failures as a mapmaker is not taking the time to look at EVERY match that happens on my maps and learning from it. There's been many times where I just make a map and I just don't care (usually because of reasons outside of BW) or when I do care I don't know when/where my maps are being used. I'll definitely try to do this more going forward... Great interview. My one question is: how come Achernar's maps never made it into any sort of league or anything if he was considered a "legend"? Or is that just from hindsight? | ||

I feel like I had seen some of these maps by Achernar or at least maps that look very similar.

Or is that just from hindsight? Because Kespa map making was mostly a closed system, I guess. Furthermore a problem with most Korean maps and map makers, back then and even today, and I would also argue even more than in the foreign scene, actually, is that they are maps made for map makers, not for players to a high degree. Look at the example maps posted in the OP and you can clearly observe for each of them how they are more representations of abstract concepts rather than meant to be serious attempts to make a map that is actually balanced and plays well. | ||

The Galaxy map by Achernar is an absolute masterpiece too. Wowza. | ||
