We did not realize until yesterday that the count down in the OP was set to the wrong date. So we'll be lenient with submissions that will be up to 24 h late.

Final submission:

Access Control
Version: 0.80 (BETA)
Size: 128×120
Author: 𝔉𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔨𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔤

Concept:

Horizontal axial symmetry 2p map with some slight distortion along the centre line.
Sideways natural layout to bring player's rally point all the way up to the map's midline.
Triangle base outside the main/bat to offer expansion choices in both directions (same idea as on Защитная Технология and Dimensionshed).
Tight stair-ramps to the northern high ground strip restrict access to only small units (Like 815-ramps or Blue Storm chokes).
Big plateau in the centre creates another axis for vertical movement on army positioning on the map to incentivise players to become active on the map on the lookout for a positional advantage.

Also included in my map pack now:

Cataclysm
Version: 0.81 (BETA)
Size: 128²
Author: 𝔉𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔨𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔤 & Minerals

Concept:

This is a map that tells a story. The story of a space station fatally struck by an asteroid, and of the desperate struggle of the survivors.
The layout is based on Minerals' and my previous attempts in 3 player maps with island expansions and the theoretical considerations they led me to about the simplest layout for for such a map that would allow equal ground expansion opportunities in either direction.
Geysers for all ground 3rd bases are reduced to 3k gas.
Island currently bases have no depleted Mineral Fields or other kind of block, as we figured that in the modern meta Terran wouldn't actually be able to gain a stable early advantage by floating a CC.
Combination of sprites and vision blockers between the main and triangle third act as a wall of pseudo-4th terrain level.
For Terran, Tanks on the ledges of the centre area can act as "artillery support" for drops on the islands – they cannot hit workers, resource depots or geysers directly, but can clear the area in front of them of defensive structures and units. + Show Spoiler [Show example] +
