These maps look sweet. Looking forward to seeing what kind of games can come out of these.

Every player that complained about the ladder map pool ever (read: almost all of them) should participate in this. :O I really hope this instigates some big changes.

I have always found it interesting that fans are easily capable of coming up with more balanced and interesting maps than Blizzard itself. My personal vote either goes to Sanctuary or Twilight Peaks.
I hate when people compare SC2 and rochambeu. One race isn't fucking supposed to counter another one. | Protoss isn't OP. Their units on the other hand....

Oh hey. Expansions without those friggin rocks in the way! What a novel concept (Blizzard- take note.) Hopefully a couple of these maps will interest other tournaments.

Yeah, they are nice maps. I have been playing on them almost exclusively for the past few weeks. Haven's Lagoon, Ohana, and Cloud Kingdom are by far the most fun.

I wish I played at a high enough level to have a fighting chance in the first round, I've always thought a tournament would be a lot of fun. The maps look great though, congratulations to all of the mappers involved.

Glad to see Haven's Lagoon got done up a bit graphic wise. Still not the prettiest of maps but significantly better than it was and gameplay wise it's great.

Rest of them look nice as well.

Surprised ppl are so excited for heaven lagoon when it looks like a remake of crap station... sure the height thing looks interesting but still it looks very similar to me. Besides not having destructible rocks in the middle.

nevertheless cool tournament. will tune in. thx TLAF.

i miss island expansions



Don't worry I already have plans to convince all the mapmakers to use islands more often.

Right now nobody really thinks about islands and if they do they always think it's terran biased unfortunately...

+ Show Spoiler [on island balance] +

If islands aren't close to the main/nat they suck for terran TvZ and if they are not in blink range they suck even more for Protoss in PvZ at the moment. Mutas just have way too much air control both offensively and defensively and nydus makes it quite easy to stop the rest.
Additionally islands need to be blocked with low HP destructibles to hinder terran from randomly floating bases there early in the game.

If Blizzard really adds an anti muta air unit like Tempest for Protoss that would help islands PvZ and they wouldn't need to be in Blink range.


If you do it correctly they are balanced and add another dimension like they did in Brood War.

The only similarity is that Crap Station and Haven's Lagoon are both 2p mirrored maps. That's it.

This is interesting, I'm really disappointed that Blizzard have not taken the initiative with something like this and put a larger prize-pool behind it so that pro-players are more interested to try the maps.

I mean, this is a good effort, but I really want to see something bigger that will have all the pro players. Without a prize-pool or an organisation like Kespa saying "play this tournament and give us feedback" is it really expected to be a successful event?

Either way I'll be watching intently, can't wait!!!

(and mad props to TL, TLAF and all map-makers involved for taking the initiative.)

I think $2k is enough to attract a decent amount of good players. These are the ones registred so far:

1 LuckyFool
2 Spades
3 RGNinori
4 coL.CatZ
5 Liquid`Jinro
6 Agh
7 avilo
8 Liquid`TLO
9 -Illusion-
10 desRow
11 Liquid`Zenio
12 Kyhol
13 GoSuNamhciR
14 viOLet
15 iNkA
16 goswser
17 Destiny


That's a decent starting point I'd say.

Could we just make this the new blizzard map pool? Please?


noooo pls not lol

those maps are decent and some of them are quite good but if you look at this lagoon map for example ....
well lets say this would be a bad thing to do since the maps we have in the current ladder pool are quite decent
