Btw, just wanted to point out that the Competo Cup has a poll at the moment, which map to add to their map pool: http://www.competo-sports.org/umfrage,51.html

Maybe you want to tell everyone to vote for Testbug (and Pawn Re)

Just wanted to hop in and say that the visual style of this map is great! When I saw it listed in the "Proportions Guide" I had to go find and comment on the thread.

Nazgul already said no other maps will be added so no point talking about maps you want added...

Awesome map pool btw!!!

This gets a thumbs up from me. Is it published? I'd love to give it a test run.

published, search for iCCup.

Testbug is nothing short of amazing, I can't believe there isn't more tournament looking into this map

Last Sunday I played go4sc2 in esl and the one of the matches was on iCCup's Testbug.
I had not played the map before - just watched one replay before that.
Everything felt very natural and balanced in my view point as a Zerg (vs Terran).
I would love to see this map in the ladder map pool !

Good Job !

I don't like this map coz it's not balance, I mean luck is a factor. If you spawn at 11 oclock position, you can access a gold patch but you cant in 3 oclock position. I don't know why you would create a map that is not symmetrical. Middle is way way way too open, it's 3x wider than shakura's center.
I guess would be only good for a 3 way FFA?

DarkRise, you're a fucking idiot.

I'm going to deconstruct your post for you.

First Sentence: You first state an opinion (fine), provide a reason, and clarify your reason. Ok for an introduction to your post.
Second Sentence: Blatantly incorrect, likely caused by you not seeing 3 o'clock's gold base. If you had actually played this map, you would know that there is indeed a gold base there.
Third Sentence: It has 120 degree rotational symmetry. Again, you're blatantly just wrong here. At least look at it for more than 30 seconds before commenting.
Fourth Sentence: The middle is actually tighter than Shakuras' center, as proven by the analyzer picture in the OP. So again, blatantly stupid and incorrect comment.
Fifth Sentence: Your guess has been proven wrong with many games by top players streamed here on Team Liquid. So again, a blatantly wrong statement.
Back to the First Post: Your evidence is terrible, and everyone else loves this map, so yeah, your opinion is wrong as well.

Final Score: 5 incorrect statements that prove that you've never played a game on the map, or even looked at it for more than 30 seconds.

To everyone who is thinking of commenting on maps: Actually know something of what you're talking about. Play the map, or if its not hosted yet, imagine games in your head. Don't simply glance at an image and assume you're an instant fucking expert.

Everyone who likes this map and TvT should watch the fifth replay from Goody vs Kas from yesterday's Epicup final: http://www.prototype-gaming.de/index.php?site=files&cat=23
Extremely interesting final between the master of mech Goody and Kas with his mass bio, mass expanding style with Testbug as the deciding map. (you should actually watch all replays if you like TvT, the final lasted until 2am).

On another note I'm sad how most pros seem to feel about this map right now, I've seen Goody all-in very early in his last TvZ's and Cloud saying even though this is a great tvt map, the other matchups are imbalanced :C

We had the first New England SC2 League Qualifier using the iCCup map pool and there were some pretty good replays on Testbug towards the end. You can find the full Replay Pack here. Sorry, I won't be sorting through them XD

I played on the map and found it very nice ! I experienced some unusual lags though. Anybody else noticed it or was it my fault ? Just saying in order to contribute.
Again, good job !

So I was just watching the Sennheiser Cup and just noticed what might be a small concern. It was a ZvP and the Zerg expands to the gold. The protoss moves up to the central watchtower and can see the creep from this expansion with the vision from the xel naga, but not the hatchery itself (leaving me to believe that if that zerg was a P or T, it wouldn't have been scouted). This ultimately didn't have an effect on the game as the Zerg was very far ahead and the Protoss was on the ropes but I feel like in other more close games that information could be important. Is this feature intended?
