Well LoS stands for Line of Sight and it is a map making team. LoS was founded by me and wnio aka Volta (which left us).

About LoS:

LoS goal is to make the most balanced maps and still being innovative. We also try to have a map pool that is very diversified. Each LoS members helps each other, gives comment, help on a layout to make the best map possible, this makes us able to make of higher quality. Like the saying says more heads is better than one. The LoS_ tag shows to the players that this map was approved by all members and was tested

This is our Official map pool section, so every map that will be listed here are in the official map map pool.

Too bad there isn't a way to get these maps more popular. GSL/MLG/IPL should make a map-making contest and use the best fan-made maps-

Twilight Peak is visually astounding and the other maps are pretty good too, can't wait to play a few games on them.

Thank you very much for for the support.

The only reason why the status is Work in progress, is because they are either new and some little change need to be done. The map can still be played well and are still well balanced.
How we test the balance?
We test them in game, talk about the map between each other with our knowledge of map making and how the games will be played.

We are going to try in the future to have some LoS maps in tournament. We hadn't really made move since we didn't have enough maps.

Okay you guys really need to not put the underscore _ between LoS and the map name.

I should be able to type "LoS" in the search box and get all of your maps up, but the _ is preventing any from showing up.

What does show up is this thread though.

I will remove all the underscores for you if you want.. lol

Ah I forgot to tell Icetoad, this really annoys me too.

I'm not LoS leader but I decide that you can do so!
