Clay Fields was used in a recent tournament and the matches were casted on youtube. Check them out here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/bw-tournaments/524161-card-cup-1 Crown And Sceptre has casted showmatches played on it too: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/516840-map-4crown-and-sceptre-1v1 Uzi Sara has been shortlisted to be used in the next ASL and has been tested and checked over by korean pros. For example here is a video of Larva testing it out: youtu.be Eddy is an iCCup map already, so its been used in tournaments and playtested a fair bit. I dont have replays of it on this computer sorry. Using the new tools in the map editor, Freakling has recently given it an extra couple of tweaks to improve it further, so be sure to use the newest version from the link above rather than the iccup version if you were to use it. Its Jade, plus islands, plus awesome aesthetics, plus awesome ramps, plus Freaklings exacting standards of polish for mining rates etc, you cant go wrong. Its great to see you are considering using them. Basically I am confident they play well and you would be more than satisfied with them, I wouldnt recommend them if I wasnt. Uzi Sara is brand new so it is an exception in that it hasnt been playtested in the same way yet (but it has been looked at by korean pros and mappers and has been given the full works in terms of time invested into it to polish it a huge amount. The point is the map is already far above the normal standard in terms of polish). So despite it not having been used yet in a tournament, Im still confident to recommend it. Eventually it may turn out to have something unpredictable in its gameplay, but because I was suggesting it as an alternative to Outsider, this is actually just fine. What I mean is, its meant to be quirky and interesting in a different way to standard maps. We do everything we can to make sure it will be balanced, then you have to actually play it and find out, and thats the fun part, the discovery process for players etc. No one knows exactly how it will play yet in the long term and at the highest level and thats what is cool about a map like this, rather than Outsider which we already guaranteed DO know is troublesome. And like I say Uzi Sara is shortlisted to be used in the next ASL so you would be on the cutting edge to use it which is pretty nice. The other maps arent exactly old either! Eddy is more established but as I say it has had a recent update that lets you wall the 3rd base with a single pylon; well that is ultra modern. The maps are also easy to learn and get comfortable on quickly which is a bonus. Comfortable sized mains and easy walling options at the nats etc. You can start playing and use the exact same walls as on Circuit Breaker or Fighting Spirit if you want. These maps benefit from an additional 10 years of developments and powerful new map editing software and techniques. I can see you are tempted to go for it. They wont let you down. Another great bonus of using foreign maps though is that if anything were to need a hotfix, well we are right here and can do that for you. Its my job to give you zero reasons not to try these maps. Hopefully Ive convinced you. The 3 standard maps play like standard maps in many ways, so theres basically nothing that can go wrong if you were to use them. They take the best of what has gone before and iterate on top of that. Meanwhile Uzi Sara is your quirky non standard map that players will enjoy getting extra creative on. | ||

You can see games on it here: (Snow vs Soulkey) (Flash vs Free) and it's been tested quite a bit by the pros. They played a decent amount of matches, you can see the FPVODS of the players here: https://www.youtube.com/user/vr33m/search?query=uzi | ||

(I guess I'd take outsider over monty hall or arkanoid any day) I wish we could move on from this whole bluestorm trend and just play destination, match point, or even HBK. Anyway I was being facetious this is a good initiative more tournaments are always welcome.It's because it's the only super non standard 3p Ladder map so people play it due to ladder. | ||
