I don't know why, but Outsider always had a special place in my heart, especially looking at some big dropship vs dropship TvTs back in the day.

Thanks for the interview/insight and an even bigger thank you for the maps!

This was a really good interview! Earthattack is one of my favourite map makers, and Blue Storm may be the best debut map of all time. Good work.

Wow, it's incredible that one person made all of those legendary maps.

Turn out this dude is one of the unsung heroes of Brood War and I didn't even know of his existence 5 minutes ago.

Although I have said terrible things about whoever made Plasma. :D

So many late nights. So many memories. When i opened this thread I immediately looked at blue storm. A thing of nightmares for a newb like me. But so much fun. All of these maps brought back a flood of memories for me. Determination, grit, anxiety, thrill, excitement. I will always feel a place in my heart for many of your maps, they are like second homes in my heart. Thank you 🙏🏼 🙇🏻‍♂️

That was actually a really dope interview, don't really hear from map makers super often, and especially not as in depth like this. Didn't know he had an instagram, followed now!

Thanks so much for doing this, and thanks Earthattack for all the great maps and memories :D

Great interview, what a legend. Maps are such a huge part of the game, it’s cool to learn more about the guys who make them. Just imagine if we were stuck playing on Blizz-made maps haha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
