(2) Microcosm

the map is tiny at 96x96 and was designed to minimize wasted space
30 sec rush distance, same as FS close spawn
vision blockers like on Knock-Out are used behind the mineral-only expansion; between the multis; and at the center to secure overlord spots.
2x16 mineral blocks at main entrance

main 9x1500 and 1x5000 gas
nat 7x1500 and 1x5000 gas
multis 7x1500 and 1x5000 gas
mineral-only 6x1500

[*]you can vote to add frisky mechanics to FS 1.4

For the hallucinated minerals, I vote only FOUR stacks because it's a pain for average players to unstack 9 workers later when they expire

Just boost the mining for the initial workers

FS++

I submitted the modified map as decided by vote.

Changes made:

Main&Nat: 9+7 minerals -> 11+5
Multis use 7x stacked minerals
Permanent D-Web at bridge
Neutral CC & scouting helper (check opponent color) in the center

Some thoughts:

The re-disribution of minerals between main and nat should in general give a buff to one-base strategies, which we don't see too often. Once players take their natural expansion, the game (almost) simplifies to regular FS.

The 7x mineral stack at the third base is a buff to splash damage harassment, which should be exciting. The economics of this expansion are also somewhat modified since less workers are needed for a full saturation. The overall impact on the game is probably not too big.

The D-Web at the bridge is a small buff to the defensive side in ZvP, TvZ and PvT.

The neutral CC is only helpful to Zerg, but there is obvious counterplay.

The scout helper is pretty interesting, since it gets rid of the worst case scenario (last scout) and also nerfs the best case - - first scout on close spawn - which instead becomes first-scout with diagonal distance.

Static Field 1.0 by TNWZombie
Apollon by JEONGYOUNGWOO /Bespoke Mapper Jeong MAP LINK
This map depicts the sun god Apollo.
Typology by Phreeeeeeekeeee MAP LINK
To give the completely backwards, self-referential, not to say circular, and probably pretty obvious reason, because if I hadn't considered the concept worth a shot I wouldn't have deemed it worth it to dump time into realizing it.
Topology by Phreeeeeeekeeee MAP LINK
Not quite finished yet. But only so much more work left to do (lots of deco, that is). Picture is rather far out of date, unless I managed to be bothered to make and upload a newer one by the time some one happens to read this.
Exit Strategy by Phreeeeeeekeeee MAP LINK
Because it more modern than Colosseum and KICK BACK, despite the all-caps, was such a bore in both visuals and gameplay – though this concept far predates it, only I am just that slow in finishing anything nowadays … And it's obviously still a work in progress … And the picture is out of date, unless it is not any more because I ended up updating it, who knows? …
Agartha by Suricatta MAP LINK
Island maps have traditionally been wildly imbalanced, but there are examples of island maps that favor each of the three races. In theory there should be a balanced middle ground. This map takes lessons learned from imbalanced maps like Sparkle, Hall of Valhalla, and others in an attempt to create a balanced island map.
High Noon by Suricatta MAP LINK
This is a standard 2-player macro map. It was used in NSL 7. The 1.1 version incorporates changes that were recommended by an ASL map maker during open submissions for ASL 20.
Generator by Suricatta MAP LINK
This is a macro map with an experimental resource gathering feature: hallucinated fastest minerals. This is meant to accelerate the early game and introduce new interesting strategies. This map is being played in IPSL.
Crooked Bough by TNWZombie
Blue sunshine by JEONGYOUNGWOO/ Bespoke mapper Jeong MAP LINK
Osaka castle by JEONGYOUNGWOO/ Bespoke mapper jeong MAP LINK
Microcosm by Crack MAP LINK
A tiny map (96 x 96) with regular rush distance (30 sec).
Anaconda 1.1 by Testbug MAP LINK
I believe this map is good because it preserves the classic layout of the original Python while adapting it for modern competitive play. The large and open islands also bring a very fun style of gameplay, creating more room for drops, mobility, and creative plays.
Reverse Requiem 0.97 by Testbug / Rose.of.Dream MAP LINK
I believe this map is good because semi-island maps have always created some of the most fun and memorable games in BSL. This map also feels unique because the starting locations are placed at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, giving it a distinctive flow and a different sense of movement compared to more standard corner maps.
Stranger Things 2.1b(n) by ash.JoJo^_^ MAP LINK
I saw many fun games on it in nOm league, a bit unorthodox but still it has that hook that makes you wanna play it again
Kurbits1.09b(n) by ash.JoJo^_^ MAP LINK
I think it has potential for many different strategies
Dragons Lair2.6b(n) by ash.JoJo^_^ MAP LINK
This has epic battles written all over it
Blade 0.97 by Testbug / Spirfire MAP LINK
Hyper standard layout. inspired by the popular PGTour map The Artist, originally created by Spitfire.
찬가0.910.scx by spt MAP LINK
A very standard and balanced map.
Spin-off 0.66.scx by TwoS MAP LINK
This is a very standard, solid, and balanced map.
Plus 0.76.scx by TwoS MAP LINK
Very standard, stable, and balanced for competitive play.

^ It doesn't surprise to me because Dragon's Lair is the worst map in this list, I think.

I love: Osaka Castle, Apollon, and Agartha. 3 maps which everyone hates them, I guess.

A very useful comment to know that the best map won.
