Shrinkage tournament is a map very clearly inspired by Shrinkage. The destructible rocks turn a free-for-all into a tournament style format where you have to beat your nearest by opponent to secure more resources.
Map can be played 1v1, 2v2, 4v4 or 12 player FFA. Spawns are forced so that teammates are in adjacent pods but you are always spawning next to an opponent! (3v3 is also enabled but not recommended). Being a joke map, I do not expect it to be balanced at all.
Some of you are asking "Why are there 16 spots but it's only a 12 player map, sensei?"
Starcraft 2 currently allows players 0 to 15 to participate in a map. One of these players must be reserved for a neutral slot to own resources (if i don't do this, red spawns in control of every mineral field on the map, can see everything and your probes will attack the minerals rather than mine them). Because of this limitation and the forced spawns i've set up, I wanted to keep the map a multiple of 4 players so this is the next best solution. It also allows for observers to participate for streaming the games.
Map Breakdown
-All 16 spawns have 2 geysers, 7 mineral patches and stationary defense cannot be built flush against the crevasse
-Terran Command Centers and Orbital Commands cannot lift off (for obvious reasons)
-Corner expansions have two full bases worth of minerals and gas, and two geysers hidden in destructible rocks.
-Each main is blocked by a pair of destructible rocks leading into the other main. the mains lead into the rest of the pod, blocked by destructible rocks. The pod leads into the corner, also blocked by destructible rocks.
-There are motherfucking space sharks and lava under the glass and you can walk over caged ultralisks.
Map is currently published on US as "Shrinkage Tournament - prodiG", search prodiG to play! Will be published on EU and SEA later this week pending some further bug testing.
