Well, it is map of the Month

If your map is finished, go test it, tweak it, and test it again. Also, having a new map pool every week would not allow players time to learn the maps (and would also drain my bank account quite rapidly!)

I'll add our scores once we all finish.

Hi, didn't followed this thread for a while now but if i understand the latest informations it seems we're allowed to send any map we want regardless of the time it has been made?

I'm fully behind this initiative. The thing that's always made blizzard multiplayer games so successful is the unbridled raw potential in the community.

Alright, here are our average scores for each map, ranked best to worst. Each one is out of 40 points using our 10/10/10/10, and then we average out the scores

31.6 Xel'Naga Caverns
29.8 Shakuras Plateau
29.8 Metalopolis
27.6 Blistering Sands
26.4 Scrap Station
26.2 Lost Temple
25.6 Jungle Basin
25.4 Steppes of War
25.4 Delta Quadrant

Just to give you an idea.

We're currently holding a mock discussion about the top 7, and we'll tell you which of our top 5 we decide on.

Its coming faster than you think!

actually i never noticed how average it was from the overview. still think you guys are a bit harsh, but if you harsh to everyone there shouldnt be a problem.

We'll treat everyone the same. Some of us are harsher than others, but we're all fair within our own scales

When you give the scores for the maps in the contest, will you give the point breakdown or only the point total? If the answer is only the total, I am requesting to be shown the breakdown. I know I would be curious about how I scored in all four categories.

Alright, after deliberating, our top 5 maps are the following. They'll be released in alphabetical order:

  • Blistering Sands
  • Metalopolis
  • Scrap Station
  • Shakuras Plateau
  • Xel'Naga Caverns


Also, here's an example of a judge's note to a runner-up:
Steppes of War: the map promotes a lot of cheese thanks to it's 22sec ramp-to-ramp timing but if matches here extend to a more macro-oriented style the map is very interesting. Steppes of War would greatly benefit from being expanded to add another 5-8sec on the ramp to ramp time.


Again, this is just an example of the process we'll go through for the real tourney
The tournament will be officially announced January 1st. Mappers have obviously been given a head start

This is really cool, I think I'll be sure to check out and play winning maps every once in a while, hopefully find some favorites

I might even be tempted to try my hand at map making again one of these months

I like that list. I also like how Xel'Naga scored the highest, 'cause I feel that map is the most standard map for 1v1
Second favorite strategy game of all time: Starcraft. First: Go (aka Wei Qi, Paduk, or Igo)

That is correct.


I didn't know this. Are there any other rule changes that I should be aware of? I just reread the topic twice, and it didn't say anything about publishing the map beforehand. Is that now allowed?

Update guys:

We've heard some complaints and we've discussed them. After much deliberation, we have decided that we are going to allow any map to be submitted. The only restrictions are 1/person and no clones (identical map, different textures).

Hope this makes you happier


There you go.

Really? The judge's note on Steppes didn't even bring up the positional imbalances on that map? =P

In all seriousness, though, this is very exciting.
