 By the way guys, the popularity of iCJug is going downhill while the popularity of the 1v1Obs Metal is going up and up! This is really bad, and might lead to the end of iCJug. 
ok ok ok the sky is not falling. I had a lobby of like 10 people yesterday for xel naga and another 8 for searing crater or w/e it's called.

Great Maps!
i would really love to have more of them, because i like to play the maps i play in EU ladder (2 of the icjug maps are voted down for me, and 4 are not / no more in ladder at all, so i can only play Antiga Shipyard / Shakuras Plateau as good ladder training)
My wishes: Please (!) add at least one of these maps to the icjug map pool, so my friends and i have more variation in our play
(4) Abyssal Caverns
(4) Backwater Gulch
(4) Nerazim Crypt
(4) Taldarim Altar LE
(4) Typhon Peaks
my hope is that you are able to just copy paste the triggers and have the maps playable soon (ask me if you need testing help)
Thanks in advance, i will try to promote it in chats and always click the "open public" button.
have a good time

Whats the point of people on the loading screens?

This needs to be promoted somehow cause I can't stand the stupid Meta Obs map. Anyone wants to come up with ideas to get this back on the road again?

Thank you for your suggestion. Yes, to make new iCJug maps, I have to copy and paste, but it requires a way more than just that. I have to do a new loading screen and minimap image on photoshop, localize for all regions, write the news, set the game variants, open slots for all the players, import 12 different images, test play to see if it's working well, publish the changes in all the forums, etc. And when I update an icjug map, I have to update all the maps. It takes me more than an hour of work + 1 extra hour if I do a new comic (I always do a new one for each new map). It's just too much work for a map that nobody plays. I haven't even updated the latest patch 1.19 to Europe yet. EU is still using the older version of iCJug without the cool changes (it will be updated at anytime from now).
I plan on updating the map, but I also have to study and do other things. It takes away all my free time. Sorry. It's just too much work for a map that is played for less than 6% of the koth players.
Right now. iCJug has only about 6% of all the KOTH players on Battle.net. 1v1Obs Metalopolis has 94% of all the audience, and iCJug is still being more updated. iCJug had 10% a few months ago. The number of players are just disappearing slowly.
Thanks a lot for playing iCJug

hi, thx for the quick response
Actually the most popular icjug map is Antiga Shipyard, so that could be the key to popularity: adding the new ladder maps which exist since season 3
(Abyssal Caverns, Nerazim Crypt, Searing Crater, no other obs game has them)
though the shipyard is currently at page 16 of the custom games, which is bad... i will keep an eye on that and tell you when it hits page 1 lol . i truly understand your problem (work effort vs reward).
maybe you can add just one map at a time or something to minimize your work effort, or skip the comics / add them later.
would be great to see the new updates in EU.

Is there any way to reset your score? I have a shitty w/l from when I was bronze-plat haha

Thank you for understanding me. The new updates might be on EU already, or they will be soon.

You can delete a weird file name like IIIIlIIllIIl.SC2Bank on the Banks folder inside the Starcraft folder in the Documents folder. All banks from all custom games are in this folder.

Maybe you're underestimating the popularity of your map, as some crowds might use them for private games. In my group, ICJug is the KOTH map of choice.
(Yeah I know I'm supposed to tick off 'open to public' before starting, but sometimes one forgets..)
Keep up the good work!

Hey Rodrigo!
1. Stop worrying so much about popularity of the maps. There are loads of people playing these with friends. Just relax and know that you are contributing greatly to the community!
2. Update the maps! On both US and EU! The version of Terminus RE on EU is still the basically unplayable first version. And add more maps!
3. ...
4. Profit!

1. Thank you.
2. What you mean Terminus RE is unplayable?
3. ...
4. How? I never got a penny with any of my maps

Yeah, the version of terminus you have used is a very old version. It has a really wide ramp and no neutral supply depo. Makes for very hard vZ games.
As for profit, come to Sweden and I will buy you a beer.

ICJug is by far the best KotH map series!

Bump, as I'm trying to do my best to get people to populate ICjug maps over that old Slime Meta one.
Edit: I've single-handedly started the revolution. Went in to a ton of Meta KOTH games and told them all to join/bookmark ICjug games, gave them reasons, etc, for about 30 minutes. Now a ton of people are bookmarking/checking ICjug maps first. Got a full game going right now
BOOKMARK AND CHECK ICJUG MAPS FIRST IF YOU FEEL LIKE A KOTH!
