Is there a link to this game somewhere? I can't find it on youtube or TLPD. thanks.

I requested it a while ago in this thread, and ecs was nice enough to upload the high quality version 
Here you go

What about Lost Temple ):
Luna may be the father of all modern macro maps, but that would make LT the grandfather of all maps, seeing as it defined the base characteristics of most maps to follow - 4 bases, close natural expo, mineral only. Cliffs and islands got dropped, asymettry got dropped.

Yes, but this article was about pro maps, as I already wrote in this thread.
|
I didn't catch your comment about post-2004, my bad. I thought there were pro matches played on LT when the whole thing got started out, though. The LT we play has some pretty significant differences from the one that came with the game imo.

Yes, LT was used, but in the pro context it was hardly used at all. Ghem TV used a desert version for quite a while, and the original LT was used in one of the first OSLs, but if you look at the whole span of progaming, LT was a minor player.
That being said, I will not deny the influence LT has had on map makers and concepts. However, as a Blizzard made map and in the pro world, I don't think it was a top map.
PS. post 2004?

Well, I was trying to not make this a pre-2004 list anyway, but what did Gowon bring to the table to make it special? Gowon was more about the era of gamers that played on it than the map itself. yeah

I guess I should have made that sentence clearer... I meantnot everything as post 2004. It would ave been easy to do. Despite this, LT snt anywhere close.

As do SJM and Strafe, IIRC.

Oh, I totally forgot to complement you on writing such a nice and comprehensive article
|
Aside from the map itself I can certainly understand why LT got so hot.
I just looked at the other ladder maps again, talk about STEAMING CRAP.

nice writing, what are you views on R point ? i used to love that map so much, but i havent played it in ages, shame on me

Okay, after reading your rebuttal, I guess, while there were some amazing games on Neo Forte, it's not really top 10 material.
In the biggest busts, though, I think Geometry should go there somewhere. I mean, in something like 80 games, 47 were TvT, and ZvT was 3-12.
I mean, ew. @_@
|
i agree with this list, it fits your criteria well 
that said, my favorite map of all time is still namja iyagi (altho i understand why you didn't include it) i dunno why, it's just tons of fun to play it and watch games on it.. wish it would've been used more
