Eden?
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

Yes indeed. That's a huge improvement over the current name, because a) it's short, b) associated with gardens, and is also a cool reference.

"Isle in the Sky"(천공의 섬) is most likely a reference to "Castle in the Sky" (천공의 성).

Played a TvT on this map with a practice partner. We're both Master on NA and both... Platinum... on KR. ._. I don't know how it happened ok thanks

In addition to being super cool, the map is pretty and seems balanced. I wonder if the high-ground natural makes it too easy to expand, but at the same time, I do like fast expands.

I like the spiral-expanding layout, where you expand sort of away from your opponent if you go clockwise. This is a 2-spawn map that in a way, feels like a 4 spawn map. The xel naga towers and elevation changes in the midfield make the play tactical and make tank pushes stronger but also more dangerous if you're near a high ground.

The fact that the towers are on low-ground areas NEAR high-ground areas makes things interesting, and causes some tower-hugging with tank armies. Due to the broad and numerous ramps into the later expansions, the fact that they're on the high ground isn't an imbalancing factor.

Overall, I have no major criticism of this map. It's tactically very fun and makes for interesting, bracing TvTs with its many ground routes and complicated elevation changes.

I kind of wish I had a zerg or protoss partner on KR, so all I can comment on is TvT.

Good luck!

That's what I thought of when I first heard that name. Castle in the Sky is such an awesome movie, I think it's cool having a map that's name reminds me of it. That being said, I also really like the name Hanging Gardens.

Regardless of the name, I really want to play on this map, please upload to NA! (Also, I feel like getting a third on this map would be super difficult vZ, so I'm not sure I like that aspect of the map, but I haven't play it yet...)

Looks amazing, so pretty! I can't wait to try it out! Extremely high level map design.

What about "Some Made Up Island Inside Starcraft That Appears To Float In The Air"?

What's wrong with Isle in the sky? It's exactly what it is...

At the time I didn't realize how good this is, but now I think this is my favorite map by you LS!
Hope it's still considered for GSL. There's nothing rly fancy about it but overall it looks interesting and solid
