Deconstructed is the second and final 2v2 map that I have made for the Prodigy Team Starleague. Deconstructed is named after the song Deconstruction by the Devin Townsend Project (CHEESEBURGER?). The concept of this map went through many stages in my head before the main idea became clear: I wanted there to be a lot of tension between moving your army to your ally's side of the map. I feel I've done this well, without sacrificing any gameplay or strategy.
Features
-Two backdoor expansions with a single geyser, blocked by destructible debris
-Single expansion in the main path between you and your ally
-Gold expansion on the other side of the cliff near the middle
-Natural expansion easy to wall
-Two Xel'Naga Towers above the ramps leading into the side expansions spotting all movement through that side of the map
-All paths from you to your ally's side of the map are more narrow than that to your opponent. Cross the map carefully, use teamwork to avoid getting caught off guard.
Specs
Map Size: 154x158
Expansions: 18 blue, 2 gold
XNT: Two, above the ramps leading into the side expansions
Tileset: Avernus with Space Platform cliffs

Note from the authorprodiG I thought you retired?!?!?! Well, before I announced my retirement I had committed to the PTSL that I would make a pair of 2v2 maps for their league and I am not someone to back down on prior commitments. I'm still "retired," but I'll still be following up with these 2v2 maps. This is the last of them. I hope you all enjoy it! I've always wanted to try Avernus... I can't say I really like working with it

looks sweet man!
Sad that this will be your last map in the forseeable future, but its a good one to end on!

My first impression: Holy **** you can take a fast 3rd!
My second impression: Holy **** you can take a fast 3rd!
Anyways, this map is good. If this were in the 2v2 pool as opposed to the other terrible maps I would play 2v2 a lot more. I have no criticism. Keep up the great maps!

I'm loving how the further the game goes on, the further the expansions get from your ally's expansions, decreasing the amount of double deathball vs double deathball fights, yet still leaves the expansions just close enough that helping your ally isn't completely out of your way.

i think its too much like gutterhulk but it looks good.

Until evolution gives us 36 hour days and where we can live off of four hours of sleep, most likely.

Learn Polyphasic sleep and use the extra 6 hours or so you get for making maps
On topic: I don't understand 2v2 but always thought non-shared bases lead to 2v1 rushes. Am I right and if so, why isn't this a problem on this map?!

Am I right and if so, why isn't this a problem on this map?! The towers are in a position that you can scout the rush if you're controlling them and be prepared to help your ally in time. The map is all about having that information so you can move with your ally where you need to be when you need to be there. Players who just sit back, turtle and hope to not die to a rush will probably get wasted by those kinds of rushes but this map has some options for players to use to counteract that should they choose to adapt.

awesome map dude I love you

This is an awesome map. PTSL looks really good, waiting on what teams sign up.

Seriously, I don't like this map at all. I think its just another fail design for a 2on2 map. The problem is that ur allys base is soooo far away and u have to defend alone. Furthermore the main base is vulnearble to warpins and other stuff.
I think this map looks like Monlyth ridge in the surface of a macro map.

map looks pretty good, alot better than those _shitty_ new 2x2 maps blizzard gonna release, and alot better than all those shared base maps
