Now theres an idea... What you you guys think of establishing solid catagories. ie. most solid map, best decorated, most creative layout, etc. Could have 3 spots in most solid/balanced because thats the most important, but i think the other aspects should get some love.

Ignoring that the best maps will have all of these qualities.

I see what you are saying. This actually goes along with what a176 was saying about creativity/uniqueness; I will be continue to be extra careful to not fall into the trap you are describing. For the record, I have been thinking about spectators for a long time :D


I have to apologize for suggesting that all of the judges of even any of them were falling into that trap. They've run a tight ship so far, my only concern is that as long as people are discussing balance first and foremost, I'm worried that they MAY fall into the trap of putting too much emphasis on it.

Your thread was a good read, and it bring up a lot of things people should really keep in mind when developing maps.
It's funny; I dream a lot, but I'm not a very good sleeper.

This saturday I'm running a tournament on the European server with innovative maps that weren't finalists in Motm #9. It's open to diamond and masters.

Is the Niflheim tileset off limits for the next motm? Seeing as the textures aren't technically custom...

Next MoTM will be a "blizzard" maps only restriction.

Right around the end of the month, when the new MoTM should begin, TL starts up a Blizzard Map Competition.

Announcement


Hey guys, quick update on MotM!

I know you've all seen the TL/Blizzard Mapping contest by now - I can't wait to see what you come up with! This is a huge chance for mappers, and you should focus all your efforts on making the best 3 maps you possibly can to submit to this contest. Unfortunately, this means that MotM #10 will need to be postponed.

We're currently working very hard to organize everything with ESL. But, as you've probably noticed, the past month has been a little busy SC2-wise, and October promises to be even busier. So, what we've decided to do is extend MotM #9 to cover 2 months of time, and have MotM #10 will take place November 1. I believe this works out the best for all the mappers out there.

I'm looking forward to all your excellent submissions in the TL Map Making Contest!

(Maybe I'll even submit one....)
