Honestly that rule in context makes no sense at all, since nowhere does it stipulate we can't mix textures from different sets, if you're using 8 different textures from 8 different sets, how do you determine which is the applicable LOS blocker? Some clarification would be nice. | ||

The reasoning is to keep it consistent with the aesthetics presented in the editor (i.e. as the game was design by blizz).

But even in that case, there are two clear predominant textures and in each half you use the default LOS blocker. The intention is that modifications to textures are used like on abyssal caverns/nerazim.

Yet you highlight Testbug (one of the most obnoxiously designed maps to date) as setting the standard for future maps from the community? Bit weird, but ok. | ||

I have two maps already made, working on a 3rd and I'll be eager to post them. What I want to ask though is, how do we measure the distance from main to main and from main to natural? | ||

I'd be tempted to argue the opposite (questionable aesthetics, bad map for protoss), but I suppose this isn't the time nor the place. That aside, GL to everyone who enters. | ||

People really underestimate the value of nurturing a map making community to the point where it can constantly pump out fresh, interesting, tournament-quality maps. Seeing this effort backed by Blizzard gives me confidence that SC2 is going to be around as a top-tier esport for a long time. | ||

Strictly speaking no, but your risk by entering something like that is that if it makes ladder at some point then that probably will be edited and you lose control of the end result. | ||
