since Butter is played on the ladder and everywhere else anyways and Anthropocene is a little bit too crazy to consistently make for good games.
Cheers!

1. Butter 2. Anthroposcene
Antroposcene has probably a lot of strategical potential. Of course, people will be afraid of it, as it may be imbalanced (and probably is) but the number of new and innovative strategies that you can develop on that map is huge. At the very least, even if some match ups would be broken, mirrors would be twice as fun to watch.
Kick Flip another great map, if some small changes were introduced.

Butter Anthropocene
Butter provided a ton of cool games in ASL Anthropocene looks like a fun map encouraging unorthodox builds but still with big late game potential.

1. Kick Flip 2. Sky Bridge
First time I saw the contest maps I couldn't wait to vote for Butter. I still think it's a fantastic map but given that it has already seen so much success (appearing on ladder and in ASL), I think it's only fair to give the other mappers a shot!

I also like Butter but it's already getting some recognition. I chose Kick Flip and Sky Bridge because they seems like good standard maps. Kick Flip has a unique layout in terms of the elevation in the center of the map. Sky Bridge seems like a nice 3 player map. The way the natural high ground forks into two 3rd expansions is cool. Perhaps will alleviate the imbalance inherent to rotational symmetry a bit.
Anthropocene is cool but too funky for me. We had many weird maps last ASL season and I'm craving some normality (fingers crossed they make it into ASL).

Always curious about a new 3 player maps since I think the ever popular Longinus and Tau Cross (in the foreigner scene) are terrrrrible maps. Didn't vote Butter because the orange tile set is fugly. Anthropocene seems reallly interesting, but I think it has a bit too much funk. If it wasn't for the recent reintroduction of Arkanoid I would have picked this map 2nd.

Yes, same vote.

Guys.. accounts that are new like the 3 above with 1 post each are considered cheating and will have their vote removed, so don’t bother.
|
1) Butter (RoyaL vs. SK on semis of ASL14 is one of the best TvZ ever on this map)
2) Kick Flip
(looks promising and most interesting)

1. Butter 2. Kickflip
I wanted to give the non-Butter maps more love but its proven to be a great map both in pro games and ladder so it gets a bit of an unfair edge but deserves #1 imo. Kickflip's my fave from the rest (gj by all).

? According to whom? I'm no smurf, check Liquipedia or various BW discords if you want. Just haven't had the need to make an account for this dead site before I needed to edit a Liquipedia article.

I believe he was referring to the other three above his comment.

1. Butter 2. Kick Flip
I'd pick Sky Bridge as 2nd if it were updated probably, but latest version I've seen is not good enough.
1. Butter has been refined to excellence. 2. Kick Flip might need some tweaking still, it feels a bit off but I can't really put my finger on it yet unfortunately. It does deserve attention and I vote for it to be 2nd place
|
1. Sky Bridge 2. Kick Flip
All protoss will vote #1 Anthropocene because its very imbalanced in TvP......
|

KickFlip / Anthropocene
KickFlip to me equals a standard macro map meaning no tricky builds / Anthropecene is going to bring out weird build orders in some games which will make games interesting. these are my votes

1. Sky Bridge 2. Kick Flip
I'd love to see Anthroposcene in the pool too, but the bridge temples are a tad too much~ Butter was nice to see in ladder, specially mirror matches. The other entries are a bit more versatile overall.

Butter is already popular and I like to see different map variety. The game play on these 2 maps seems like it would have some good balanced macro games but also something different for terrain. As someone who makes maps as well I think Minerals is a good mapmaker and hard worker and deserves a win.

That is quite a change to Kick Flip.
Are those towers at mid now droppable? Mid expos also gotten a little high ground with a ramp between the minerals and gas?

I won't change my vote, but that is not really the Kick Flip I voted for.

Not dropable, still just an overlord space. Mid expos got the little drop space which also acts as a watch tower of sorts if you put a pylon or turret there.

I didn’t make any major changes aside from adding a mineral only and adding that little scouting platform and removing some proxy locations.. The mineral only is needed based off of player input during testing.

Update to (2)Anthropocene 0.60.
▶ 0.60 -Decoration in main made simple. -Mineral wall at main ramps reduced from 32 to 24.
-Added walkable tile buffer to natural gas geysers. (Previously geysers were flush against coastal cliffs.) -Removed Zerg creep spawns outside of natural/third entrance.
-Original middle expansion line (y=x) that previously would be an island when a line of Troy Gates were destroyed has been broken apart by two new pathways. -Destroying central Troy Gates will limit fastest travel paths. -New Zerg creep spawns on the now central plateau. -Two minerals removed from center base. Minerals are still 2000, geysers are still 7500. -Offensively destroying opponent's Troy Gates will allow an overall safe expansion, and force opponent to take a longer pathway if using a ground force, or ferrying units across.
-New pathways are composed of two Protoss Temples and a Zerg creep spawn. -Additional overlord spot created to overlook new pathways.
-Extra ramp to corner bases have been removed. -Destroying corner Troy Gates will create safe island expansions. This will also close the path between thirds on the same side of the map. -Resource/Pathing debugging done.

The results are in for New Worlds Map Contest 2! drumroll...._______________ - 4th - Sky Bridge by Chariot - 3rd - Anthropocene by CrystalDrag - 2nd - Butter by Hozzi - 1st - Kick Flip by Minerals _______________ DATA+ Show Spoiler +The dowdall system was used for scoring the votes. _______________ From the NWMC team: The foreign mapmaking community has come a long way over the past two years. Our BWM⁴P discord started with only a handful of foreign map makers, but now we have dozens of active members from both foreign and Korean communities, including professional ASL mapmakers and ASL map admins. We are delighted by the unification of the foreign and Korean mapmaking communities through NWMC and the fruitful activities that have been taking place in our wonderful discord server and broodwarmaps.net One of the most significant achievements of NWMC has been inspiring and producing maps that were subsequently included in ASL, BSL, and ladder map pools such as GOOD NIGHT (by CrystalDrag), Largo (by Latias) and most recently Butter (by Hozzi). Never before has the foreign community been able to exert any kind of influence over the Korean progaming scene. We are very grateful to have had such an outcome and hope ASL continues to consider maps that are submitted to our contest series by mapmakers from around the world. We are also especially appreciative of the opportunity to influence the map pools of foreign leagues and events. A big thank you goes out to all the organizers who have considered and/or included any NWMC maps in their map pools. We hope you continue to show interest in new and older maps associated with our contest series. _______________ www.BroodWarMaps.netJoin the BWM⁴P Discord server!
