Blizzard has set out a goal of including player made maps into the official Blizzard ladder pool, and TeamLiquid is privileged to have the opportunity to help them achieve this goal. And on that note, it is my honor to announce the first ever official TeamLiquid Map Making Competition! The competition will be watched over by Blizzard and the top ranking maps will be considered for use in the official ladder map pool for future ladder seasons. Any selected maps may be altered by Blizzard to comply with ladder pool standards.


I want to highlight this for map makers. It is a pretty damn huge deal if ladder will have some community input to it. On that note, seems like a stupid question BUT I'm going to throw it out anyways...

Do map names matter? Like... does it have to fit into the Lore of SC, or name it "Map 1", "TL Map Entry".

I know i know, it hardly matters, but I'm just curious. I'm a curious guy.

This is exactly what blizzard needs to be doing for maps! Moar i say, moar!

Also, I implore the people behind this to ensure that the winning maps have as few destructible rocks as possible and that none are added if the maps are adjusted for ladder play.

Thanks for the answer. Personally to me having my map played in tournaments is a much bigger honour then having them in the official ladder map pool. Especially if integrity has to be compromised.
Anything can be acheived through persistence and thought

Really nice contest. I believe that Daybreak is the best tournament used map at the moment and it always produces really good games. Hopefully a community map can live up to that.

It won't matter for judging, that's for sure. I guess it might be edited if it makes the ladder though

Awesome, This combined with the shorter seasons is definitely heading in the right direction for blizzard as they don't need to have such an investment if a map is only going to be in the pool for 2 months.

I think just how important this is for the future development of SC2 is going to fly over a lot of people's heads. This is fantastic news,actually having good maps that are played in tournaments and the ladder is key for letting us chobos keep up with the pros. I just wish TL approached this with more optimism and actually committed to using these maps for at least a TL SC2 Open.

This is pretty sick. Are they going to refer to TL in some way in the map's name?

That seems like a commitment to me.

I hope prodiG gives this a shot, I know he sorta retired from it but his maps were well done, attention to detail. I'll go drop him a message and see if he's interested lol.
