Contest format
Schedule
[ Submissions End: ]
Map submission deadline: Jan 07/2023 - 16:00 CEST / 23:00 KOR
Map presentation stream: Jan 07/2023, 19:00 CET on TeamThinkQuicktTV
You must also make a duplicate post on this TL thread below.
All submission threads must at least consist of the following:
Your ID:
Location:
Map Name:
Map Version:
Map Size:
Rush Distance (main ramp to main ramp)
Map Description of how your map holds to the original inspiration.
Map Image and original map image for side by side comparison and nostalgia.
All information and files, as well as any later updates, have to be posted in the original submission thread.
Prize PoolsTo encourage newer mappers to indulge, we will be splitting the prize pool up. New mapper = has not had maps featured in official tournaments or leagues.
Mapper Prize Pool (donations link TBA)
70% of the prize pool will go to the first place winner.
20% of the prize pool will go to the second place winner.
10% of the prize pool will be awarded to the best "new mapper"
Play Testing Prize Pool (donations link TBA)
Play testing prize pool will be used for spon match testing.
Throughout the entire course of the contest, map makers are encouraged to participate in discussion about their maps within the discussion thread and help each other improve their work. All map makers’ opinions are equally valued.
If multiple map makers agree that a map does not meet eligibility or quality criteria, the map needs to be updated accordingly or will not be allowed into the next round.
Maps for each round will be selected via a public vote, using a Dowdall ranking.
1st voting: Selection of top 12 maps
2nd voting: Selection of 4 finalists
3rd voting: Determining the winner
The maps with the highest scores will advance to the next round, with two exceptions:
The number of maps by the same map maker is limited in each round:
Top 12: at most 3 maps from the same author
Finalists: at most 1 map from the same author
For maps created cooperatively by two or more authors, these numbers are incremented by one (so a map creator could have one solo map and one cooperative map in the finalists, or two cooperations, for example)
Maps that do not fulfill the respective quality criteria for the next round can be disqualified (see Notes about maps section below for details).
Playtest tours will be offered on the four finalist maps (details?).
Notes about maps
Scope of the Contest
The goal of this contest is to recreate “classic” maps and adapt them for the current meta game, while retaining significant features of the original.
“Classic” map encompasses maps from the Kespa era (made before 2012) and the Blizzard maps that came with the original game. For ideas and inspiration, the TLPD (https://tl.net/tlpd/korean/maps) and liquipedia (Main Page) are good resources – or you may just browse your map folder.
Each map should be aimed at recreating one specific original, not combine features from different maps or mix and match sections in a Fantasy-like manner.
“Significant and recognizable features” of the original should be preserved as much as possible while adding or removing, or otherwise changing, some features to improve balance, and gameplay in general, with a modern meta in mind.
Any added gameplay-relevant features should be in service of gameplay/balance improvements over the original, not as a new major characteristic by themselves.
What constitutes a “significant and recognizable feature” of any particular map is left entirely to the map makers’ discretion. There is no hard rule against changing any particular aspect, be it map size, tileset, number of player spawns, or anything else.
Not allowed are trivial edits, such as, but not limited to, edits or copy-paste versions of the original map file, simple tileset conversions or trivial geometric transformations.
Map makers may submit updates to their maps at any point during the course of the contest.
Map Admissibility Criteria
Maps must be purpose-made for this contest and not have been submitted to prior map contests or played in a league.
Maps can only use mechanics that work in standard melee game modes.
Maps need to fulfill minimal completion standards to be admissible. That is: functional terrain work should be finished (deco can be left marginal) and map mechanics should be mostly functional (fine tuning of pathfinding not necessary for the first round).
Map makers are obligated to update their maps during the course of the contest to address any issues that come up and fulfill the stricter quality guidelines (details below) necessary to advance to later rounds.
Map makers may submit any number of maps that fit the criteria. However, only a limited number may advance to the later voting rounds (as explained in the Feedback and Voting section above).
Round 2 (top 12) Qualification Criteria
Top 12 maps should have smooth and balanced mining in at least the most significant bases (mains and naturals).
Unintended gameplay features, such as drop holes or tile flag related issues need to be fixed.
Top 12 maps should not have any other issues that principally inhibit their being played on.
Round 3 (finalists ) Qualification Criteria
Finalist maps need to have smooth and balanced mining in all bases as well as other pathfinding optimizations.
Any remaining bugs discovered during playtesting or examination of finalist maps must be fixed as soon as possible.
Finalist maps should have a decent quality of decoration.

But the only way to make it viable in todays meta is by making the main/exp highgrounds i think (while the rest of the map is low). Nat is way too wide open for todays meta, cant wall.
Other than that, 4p maps would be nice cus we could use them in both 1v1 and 2v2 (Luna/Hannibal/R-Point/Neo Requiem/LT/Gaema Gowon/Nostalgia <- i'd add a nat gas/Neo Jungle Story/Gaia/Arcadia/Dahlia of Jungle/Blade Storm/Blood Bath etc). All those maps have similar issues where you can't wall their nat at all, that's more of a 1v1 issue tho, doesn't impact 2v2 as much. Bifrost would be nice too.
@TNWZombie those are some rly cool remakes already, using L shaped min patches on the left bases is really nice to see as well
P.S: i tested the mining on Ice Crystal and it seems like the bottom left base has a bugged patch, the bottom right patch doesn't vertical mine properly, the mining is fine on the top left base tho

0.6 → 0.8 Update. Fixed a bug that didn't build some of the main building at 1 o'clock. 7 o'clock Move 1 space above the main base. (Fixing the point where the Zerg player sells minerals strangely.)
Also, i just wanted to talk about general map layout concepts for 2v2 in particular, just so people could have an idea on what makes a good/fun 2v2 map because it plays out differently compared to 1v1.
We go through A LOT of maps on SB and there's a big need for quality maps in this space because most of them are tailored towards 1v1 play. This is important for the game as a whole because imo, team games help grow the game a ton, it makes for more fun/less stressful gameplay experience. For a super competitive game like BW, that's desperately needed.
From my experience so far, corner base spawning locations synergize better for 1v1 gameplay rather than 2v2, 12/6/9/3 spawns with shorter rush distances make for a more dynamic/fun 2v2 experience. Imo the best 2v2 map we have right now is Python but it's far from being perfect, for example the location of the min only 3rd base isn't balanced that well (inbase tanks can deny it for example depending on spawns).
But where the map excels at is it's general layout, the rush distances are good for 2v2 play (ideally you want 27s-29s for close bases by land, ~35s-39s for cross) and so is the positioning of the neutral gas bases. Having 2 neutral land gas bases + 2 neutral island bases makes for fun/active gameplay. Teams battle over the neutral gas bases and the island bases act as good comeback bases, the islands also add more strategic diversity (it makes non Z teams more viable in 2v2 for example).
So i think taking maps like Fortress/Python/Horizon Lunar Colony are a good starting point for inspiration, from there play around with different layout concepts. But the foundation/building block of the maps are important; good rush distances, good mining/min patches (ideally L shaped on standard left bases, as seen on Zombie's remakes) + gas positioning, good neutral expo positioning. Imo play around with having an inbase min only expo (maybe with fewer patches, like 6-7) or a closer min only 3rd base to your nat (with more mins), 2 neutral islands/2 neutral land gasses, 4 neutral islands, 4 neutral land gasses etc etc. I hope this helps out a bit with concept ideas, and ty for your work . I'm super excited to see what we end up with!
I could go into more specific balance related talk for 2v2 maps if you msg me, it would take way too long to go over everything here. Basic concept tho is that you wanna avoid lowground mains/highground nats (think Gladiator/Reverse Temple etc.) and if you're doing a flat map w/ 2v2 in mind, it would be better to have an inbase expo or double gas main. Also, the main base choke needs to be narrow (for a flat 2v2 map Zombie's main base layout is very good for example).
Don't go overboard with gas bases (the more gas bases there are the more it favors P in 2v2). In PZ vs TZ/ZZ on a flat map (flat maps inherently favor TZ and ZZ teams because PZ loses defensive ramp advantage vs bio/lings, which are extremely strong in the early game) an inbase gas expo is good for P teams and a min only inbase expo is better for T (not as much as an inbase gas base for P tho). Play around/experiment with the balance of your first 3 bases. This is just for standard flat map layouts btw, they're harder to balance. You have way more layout freedom on ramp maps for 2v2, there's way less balance issues.
Another thing to keep in mind is the sever lack of 3v3 maps, we pretty much only have Hunters/Fastest/BGH. Down the line SB will be adding 3v3 ladder so having a few more options here would also be great.
Appreciate the credits to teamthinkquick. But this event is the 100% fruit of the map making community.
Great idea to play test finalist maps via showmatches instead of tournaments. I know there were a lot of delays and issues with completing the play test tournaments of NWMC2.

Faoi was also cool!
Wind and Cloud is a post-Kespa-era map and thus too new to be covered by this contest. Faoi was only ever used on iCCup, as far as I know, so it's disputable whether it would be viable for a remake within the scope of this contest.
EDIT: Actually, Faoi should be fair game, as the rules only state "Kespa era"/"made before 2012", not "actually used by Kespa". Of course, WCG maps are fair game, too. Could just lead to weird situations when some one decides to remake some completely unknown map they found via the BWMN random map function or something...

0.7 → 0.8 Update. Replace Stasis Cell/Prison on island with Pylon.
FYI to those who are new to the NWMC series - a few maps submitted to previous contests were subsequently included in ASL and/or ladder map pools, including Largo, GOOD NIGHT and Butter. A few other maps submitted to NWMC contests were considered (but not approved) for ASL.
Be cool to see a remake of Hitchhiker But most likely too difficult to modernize and balance?

Your ID : JoJo Location : Sweden Map Name : Jungle Book Map Version : Latest update is 1.7d Map Size : 128x128 Rush distance : 30 seconds Horizontally, 35 seconds Vertically, 40 seconds diagonally Map Description : Remake of Neo Jungle Story. 4P standardish map. Original map made by Next_(R). Entrance is moved for better rush distance. Back expo can be defended by ground but need dropship to secure the expansion on the high raised jungle ground. This choice is to remove the imbalance with the cliffs (needing dropships to defend) behind main minerals in the original. Other balance features is more mirrored areas around 3d. With high ground natural the narrow winding path is now more balanced so that contains are not as deadly.
Resemblance of original map: * It has as in the original an island expo behind the main on the high ground. Difference is the balance of defending that area and main minerals by the accessibility of a ramp. Otherwise as in the original this area highly promotes drop play. * The SL is very similar to the original as well as the path out. That path has been shortened though to create lesser long winding paths that were easily contained. From the high ground it is now easier to break out a potential contain. * The center is also similar to the original and it supports the gameplay of rotating field battles since the temple walls acts as... blockers. * Overall the decoration and formations are made to remind you of the original as well.

I heard Freakling might be remaking Lost Temple on a different tile set.
It would be nice to see one or more remakes of LT, for sure.
I would be curious to see if the mapmaker maintains or modifies any of the following features of the original: close spawn positions, cliffs and islands.

Updated buildability) Map Size : 128x128 Rush distance : 35 seconds Horizontally, 33 seconds Vertically, 43 seconds diagonally Map Description : Curcuit Breakers. 4P standardish map. Original map made by 김응서 (Earthattack). Added eggs for todays meta walling, changed center layout to hopefully wake some 2on2 interest, i.e center is remade to give more altering game mechanics. Also adderad important ovi spots at the high ground and this high ground middle counter the old lowground middle wich favored Terran timing attack wich could quickly move across map without hassle before. High ground delays Terran movement and adds important paths for zerg and protoss to counter attack.
Tileset is changed. General layout kept. The expansions 12, 6, 9 and 3 is changed to make them a bit safer 3d expansion. Lowground => now midground.
Resemblance of original map: * The general layout is kept to keep the game similar in the mid - outskirts as well as remind you of the original map.

Map Name: (4)Lamentation Map Version: 0.53 Map Size: 128x128 Rush Distance (bottom of main ramp to natural entrance): Adjacent spawn 25s, cross spawn 32s
Original map is (4)Neo Requiem, by Rose.of.Dream. + Show Spoiler +
*The original Requiem map versions had irregular natural location placements and normal ramps, leading to several positional imbalances and very short rush distances. By pushing the naturals towards the edge of the map, a longer rush distance is created which allows space for natural wall-ins to be established, though the map should still be an aggressive map with high ground naturals and low ground non-corner mains. *The tileset was changed from ash to jungle for the narrow overlord cliffs. While overlord spots are possible on the ash tileset, using high temple terrain allows more space to be saved. *The significant change is reducing the high ground center to a cross, and connecting these low ground areas towards the previous semi-islands. Players can choose to use the fastest pathing route through the low ground, or choosing a longer path through the center to avoid a possible uphill battle. *The previous semi-islands are now connected to the center blocked by two-three stacked Xel’naga Temples with unbuildable terrain underneath. With the naturals being pushed back, these previous semi-island expansions are located in a better spot to be accessed from the center and create additional skirmish areas, instead of strictly outside of natural bases. *Zerglings can no longer pass through the natural mineral lines, but scarabs can fit. *The cross is now properly centered in the middle of the map, and is no longer offset to the right.
*The main issues of Hitchhiker is the open natural choke, and the far third gas. Redistribution of terrain in the main and natural areas allowed for a new pair of bases along the edge of the map, as well as making the corner bases having a singular choke. Keeping the original ravine in the center of the map, and being inaccessible by ground along its length, is the main objective. *The tileset was changed from ice world to avoid visual problems, while keeping the same terrain properties. *With the addition of the new pair of bases (1/7), the now divided bases (12/6 and 1:30/7:30) have 2000 geysers, due to them being safer to control and avoid too much gas. At 1/7 there is one mineral field with a value of 744, but the geyser remains 5000 to be the higher valued bases to contest. Bases 12/6 have a zerg egg placed such that Zerg may build a Hatchery, but Terran/Protoss cannot build a Command Center/Nexus without clearing the egg. *Power Generators (800 HP / 1 Armor) were replaced with Stasis Cells (2000 HP / 1 Armor) to make clearing the pathways more difficult, and not something to be done as an afterthought/casually.
*The tileset was changed from jungle to badlands for visual changes, as Gaia does not utilize temple terrain. *Gaia’s main issues stem from using a non-standard axis (about y=2x) with access only to the standard ramps. This resulted in uneven natural configurations that could lead to more favorable ones. The different spawning configurations are important to preserve - close by air by air horizontally, close by ground vertically, and cross spawn. By rotating the map to have the symmetry axis be along x=0, along with using vertical ramps, better utilization of space can be used to address several issues. Gaia rotated by -27 degrees + Show Spoiler +
*All main ramps and natural chokes are now uniform, with all being able to be comfortably walled. The second entrance is preserved, but blocked by a Temple to be more comfortable for modern play. Due to the negligible distance between the first and second entrance, the second entrance was blocked off with a decent barrier. *The mineral only bases have an additional 2000 gas, but one mineral field with a value of 744. This can help temporarily if close ground spawns occur, as the adjacent natural is far away. *A wider center was able to be achieved to avoid split-map situations that would have occurred on the original smaller center, by creating new avenues of pathing that connect the middle expansions. *The edge bases remain the same, with the locations being approximately the same (in the natural, outside the natural, and the mineral fields along the cliff. Chokes have been adjusted to be comfortably walled in, while being an emergency pathway for smaller armies.
So there's something that hasn't been discussed or pointed out in this thread regarding the qualification rules so i'd like to offer my own personal interpretation and paraphrasing of them.
it has to do with the question of whether the classic map chosen needed to be re-created and remastered in the first place. In other words, the contest sort of assumes and requires that each map selected to be re-created be problematic in terms of gameplay and require fixing.
For example, if we look at 'Hyojin's' various submissions in this thread, we can read his apt descriptions and rationales for why the original versions that he selected to remaster suffered from certain shortcomings and therefore implicitly made them good candidates for this contest. I am not saying his maps all objectively meet the qualification criteria. That is up to people to decide. But you can see he clearly thought about the contest rules to select and revise classic maps and provided explanations to follow his reasoning/choices/edits.
This assumption/goal of the contest regarding map selection and revision is emphasized in the rules. For example:
Scope of the Contest
The goal of this contest is to recreate “classic” maps and adapt them for the current meta game, while retaining significant features of the original.
“Significant and recognizable features” of the original should be preserved as much as possible while adding or removing, or otherwise changing, some features to improve balance, and gameplay in general, with a modern meta in mind.
Any added gameplay-relevant features should be in service of gameplay/balance improvements over the original, not as a new major characteristic by themselves. - - -
So when mapmakers are screening maps after the submission deadline (and after that screening when TL members here will be asked to vote on their favorite maps to proceed to the next rounds), I think the question that should be asked is whether the map selected by the mapmaker was a good candidate for remastering. In other words, did it need to be remastered in your opinion? Did it suffer from shortcomings and possibly enough of them to make it a good fit for this contest?
One way to do that is by carefully examining the new version to see if there are clear gameplay improvements over the original. If the mapmaker provided a description of those improvements and how they relate to the current meta, then even better as that would help with one's assessment.
Just because the original map was popular back in the day or is interesting because it is rarely known does not make for a good rationale for selecting the map in my opinion. More importantly, it should be asked if the selected classic map is problematic in today's meta and secondly if that can be fixed?
If the answer to those questions is "yes" then the next step is to reflect on whether the new version is similar enough to the old one to be considered a "remastered classic". This is in the contest rules as well: “Significant and recognizable features” of the original should be preserved as much as possible". In other words, the remastered version has to resemble the original in significant and recognizable ways, especially in terms of gameplay features. So tileset, spawning positions, spawning locations, decorations, etc. by themselves are not enough in my opinion to meet this criteria. The new and old versions must be similar enough in terms of important gameplay characteristics. What does that mean? Well do they both give rise to the same kinds of gameplay opportunities/possibilities/dynamics/options? I am not able to elaborate on this further but I welcome examples or clarification from those more knowledgeable.
Only by fulfilling these two main requirements should a map be allowed to proceed to the next round in my personal opinion. I think mapmakers should keep these things in mind when they are screening maps and public voters should at least consider these things when selecting their favourite maps. Of course, these requirements mean extra effort on the part of judges (mapmakers and public) since you need to critically think about the maps instead of merely saying "oh this looks cool, I like it" or applying some other subjective, unsystematic and irrelevant criteria to dismiss or approve maps.
Now I will offer my opinion on something that may be considered debatable or problematic from a screener's or voter's perspective. It is also possible that a classic map chosen to be recreated was or is so experimental or so radically out of touch with today's meta (or even back then) that it is incapable of being updated/remastered in a way that makes it sufficiently playable now. What I mean is that there may be classic maps that cannot be changed enough to make them suitable for the current game meta because they were/are too "far out there" already. And even if those changes are made to make the map playable now, you run the risk of those revisions being so drastic that the new version no longer contains those "significant and recognizable features" of the old version anymore, making it less qualified for the contest.
Please note that these are my own thoughts and views regarding the contest rules and therefore they should not be interpreted as being part of the contest rules or an official interpretation/extension/paraphrasing of them!
I agree that some maps are way too out there to remaster, you'd lose the essence of the map, essentially you'd have to re-do the entire thing and it wouldn't look anything like the old version. That said, i think there's a lot of value in remastering stuff like Neo Jungle Story and Rush Hour for example because they're unique/solid maps. The nat areas on those maps are gonna have to be completely different (and maybe even the mains depending on your layout approach) just because they're not playable for modern day gameplay.
The end product might not look like the original versions but they still have unique elements to them that should be preserved (for example Jungle Story has the backdoor islands, Rush Hour has the double ramps outside your nat/the expo layouts).
I believe we do have a remastered version of Rush Hour 3 called Rush Hour 4 by Gosomi. It may have not been posted in this thread yet but it is submitted in the BWMN discord server.
I believe jOjO (aka aiur on TL) has submitted a remastered version of Jungle Story as well. So you could look forward to both of those when they are made available (provided they pass the screening round by mapmakers which more information will be shared about in the coming weeks).
The contest is pretty cool and unique when you think about its requirements more deeply. I have to say that I have only begun to wrap my own head around and appreciate its scope and vision.
Very excited to see so many submissions by Korean and foreign mapmakers and looking forward to the rest before the deadline.
ASL has been considering two maps (called 76 and Red Eagle) that were submitted to the NWMC series by the way Congrats to their creators (KD_MAN and mAziciAn) and the mapmaking community in general.
Luna: Balance the spawn locations with regard to harassability via air, and give all of them the same ability to forge expand. There's no need to make the ramp wallable for Terran, or to make the third base naturals have gas.
Lost Temple: Make the centre more open, make every spawn location's mineral only equal, and make it so that every location can forge expand equally (right now 12 can't do it, but other locations can). Also change the ramps to all face outward. Maybe put 8 value mineral patches on the island bases so that Terran can't float a CC... or don't, honestly.
Everything else, including the buildable cliffs, can be kept. Protoss goes shuttle most games anyway and Zerg always goes mutas. It's not a problem.
Voddy clearly wants to drop tanks and build turrets and bunks on your nat cliffs
In all seriousness, thanks for your suggestions regarding remastered versions of Luna and Lost Temple. I believe both have been remade by Suri and Minerals (if not others) and will be revealed soon.

Rudeltaktik would actually be sick for 2v2 without the gas Khaydarin Crystals and if the main ramps weren't blocked :3 (blocked backdoor ramp leading to your 3rd is fine tho).
That said, it's an interesting design the way it is. I'm not sure how balanced it is to give Z an extra gas given how easy it is to take your nat/3rd and other exps, it's not like it's a pure island map or anything (like Sparkle). I really like the feel of the map tho, something about the design/layout makes it really pleasing to look at :D.

Original map is (3)Tau Cross, by Rose.of.Dream. + Show Spoiler +
*The most obvious issue of the original Tau Cross is the lack of symmetry used for the northeast. The natural is very exposed from air. Another issue is the lack of an expansion with a choke, besides the third player's natural. *Rotational symmetry has been redone to be relatively more balanced for all positions. The airspace behind the natural mineral lines have been removed, due to the better effectiveness of mutalisks, shuttles, and arbiters. The droppable cliff by the geyser remains. *The fourth expansion is now high ground with a two isometric wide ramp, and has a geyser. To reduce the amount of gas, the third and fourth geysers have been lowered to 3000. Thehse ramps are pylon-wallable with 4 pylons. *A new set of mineral onlies have been added in the center, to help expanding counterclockwise. *No unbuildable area has been added to the middle of the map.
-Title and concept of the map are taken from the movie "Parasite."
-Main base is double-structured, and there is no gas in the front yard.
-Amount of gas in the main base is 3500 each.
-All the gas expos are on the outer line, which planned a map in the direction of pioneering the outer line rather than battle to take control of the center.
-Workers can pass through the blocked entrances of the main base without any special help.
-All Xel'naga temple on the map are stacked 3 each.
-Amount of minerals at the entrance of the main base is 24.

-I intended an easy-to-play 3p standard map. -Gas expo of the original map was separated into two expos and changed to make it easier to secure expos continuously.
-Added a rush route to the center.
-Main base entrance can be blocked by 1B2S, but it is not completely blocked, and it is narrowed down to 2 eggs.
Your ID: DQ Location: RoK Map Name: Lost in Paradise Map Version:0.82 Map Size:128x128 Rush Distance: x Map Concept: Strategic battle map Map Description: + Show Spoiler +
- Remake map of Lost Temple.
- This map is transplanted strategic elements of Earthatack's map "Nemesis" and "Fortress" into Lost Temple.
-1 o'clock and 7 o'clock expo can only be passed by workers clicking on minerals near the gate.
-5 o'clock and 11 o'clock expo has an Assimilator and egg, and if one Assimilator is destroyed, a large unit cannot pass, and if two Assimilators are destroyed, all units except Ghost cannot pass.
-All main bases are completely blocked with 1B2S and the front yard entrance is 8 grids.
Your ID: DQ Location: RoK Map Name: KF-21 Boramae Map Version:0.89 Map Size:128x112 Rush Distance: x Map Concept: 2P Standard Map Description: + Show Spoiler +
-Remake map of Fly high - Dreamliner. -Title and design of the map were taken from the next generation Korean fighter KF-21 (Boramae).
-In order to increase the air distance between the main bases, which was the biggest problem of the original map, the starting location was changed to the corner.
-Main base entrance can be blocked with 1B2S, but it is not completely blocked.
Your ID: DQ Location: RoK Map Name: Platoon Map Version:0.81 Map Size:128x120 Rush Distance: x Map Concept: Strategic battle map with dual entrance Map Description: + Show Spoiler +
- Remake map of Alchemist.
- Dual entrance was implanted while maintaining the original map's donut-shaped concept.
- Since it is difficult to use the dual entrance of the original map in modern meta, the rush route is limited to one until the front yard is expanded.
- It was intended to use the dual entrance after the assimilator was destroyed and the shortest path was blocked.
- Each entrance is blocked in a different form, and the player has to think about which entrance to pioneer first. (Mineral 32 or Xel'naga Temple x 1)
We got a teaser stream tomorrow on Sunday starting at 1:00 pm eastern time and 19:00 CET where we will showcase and discuss at least two map submissions from each contestant. We’ve never done something like this but thought it would be fun to celebrate and talk about new maps inspired by old ones. We’ll also ask some of the casters (who aren’t mappers) if they can guess which old maps the new submissions were inspired by. It’ll be a fun little trivia segment.
Open cast as always so feel free to join the conversation in the ttq discord “open cast” audio channel (our discord is linked in our twitch channel).
