Maps must be adjusted to modern competitive standards
Older maps are welcome, but mineral patches and basic balance adjustments must be possible
I reserve the right to reject submissions that are too obscure or unsuitable for competitive play

How the full contest works:

Phase 2 — Nominations (Mar 10–13): Patreon Major ($20+) and BSL 22 Goal supporters ($100+) nominate. Top 9 maps advance to testing.
Phase 3 — ShieldBattery Testing (Mar 14–28): All 9 maps go live on SB Ladder for two weeks. Battle-tested, not just popular on paper.
Phase 4 — Community Vote (Mar 28 – Apr 03): Eligible supporters vote. Votes are weighted by tier. The winning map joins the BSL 22 map pool and debuts in ProLeague.

I like this! Would be cool if someone made a map and it got in! I love the initiative nonetheless!

It would also be cool if Routa were recruited to choose one map for each season - it would certainly make for some funky games! :D
(I still have happy memories from his weird map tournament!)

so since this will be decided by community vote, and we both have a very conservative map pool this season and the (non-korean) people yearn for crazy maps...

I think it's highly likely that we'll see an experimental map win the vote

Hey, what's the mater with the imgur uploads? Keeps failing for me for all the map images I tried.

Anyway, guess you'll have to look at the pretty images here instead, for now.

Two of them are yet work in progress, obiously, but I can finish either one within 2 weeks, if required.

the built in imgur button (upload image) on TL doesn't work, just go on imgur and upload pic there, open pic link and use the image link button (4th button, next to underline) to post pic here
