EPTI’m Testbug, a map creator from Peru. I’ve been making maps for a few years now, supporting tournaments like BSL and Latin American Cup. Today, I’m here to share my latest project with you and get your thoughts on a suitable name for it!
Initially, I wanted to call it "Nocturne of Shadow," inspired by the song from Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but I found it a bit too lengthy. So, it's time to choose a new name!
Here’s what the map looks like:

After some thought, I’ve narrowed the potential names down to three choices:
(4)The Ring
This name stems from the central ring-like structure on the map. It became a strategic point during test games, where players tended to maneuver around this ring rather than through the center, using the ring to approach the Basilica for its terrain advantage.
(4)Nocturne
Shortening the original thought, "Nocturne" captures the twilight and mysterious atmosphere of the map. The term also refers to musical compositions that evoke the serene beauty of the night, mirroring the strategic depth and ambiance of this map.
(4)Mandala
After attaching a photo of the map to ChatGPT4, the AI pointed out that the design resembled a mandala. It suggested the name 'Mandala,' emphasizing that it's surprising no maps have been named such despite the design's strong symbolic suitability for strategic gameplay.
