Thank you Forgotten_
We do not get many interactions with the Korean community directly so this is very insightful. It's indeed very good to go back to those glorious days of BW...

My question (although may not directly related to map-making but definitely interested in your perspective...)

What did people/you feel at the time towards the change of the map directions/play-style. I.e. in the beginning the play style is more "micro" oriented with maps like Lost temple, Bifrost, Legacy of Char and other island maps. Then you have maps like "Luna" with no cliffs/ which encouraged big macro battles. A lot of the people at the time (at least in the foreign community) didn't like the changes...

BW forever!

Hi Forgotten, you mentioned that maps are basically used to keep Protoss viable at the moment in higher tier, yet we still see mostly that Protoss struggles on the modern map pools, losing to Zerg comfortably, and barely reaching 50% on most maps against Terran. What are some features that you think should be more prominent to help Protoss be competitive? Any new modern maps that map makers should look at for those features?

What a great read! Thanks to all involved for a very well crafted interview!

I remember Othello as one of my favorite maps <3 Also, there is a road I drive every day to work that has the number 615. When I first started noticing it and tried to memorize it, I used the map 815 as some sort of mental image to remember. And it worked quite well! A small and maybe silly thing, but your maps has had a positive impact nonetheless other in BW!
It's ok. I still love you <3
