Technically I'm pretty sure Blizzard has every right to take down maps that are made with their Editor for one of their games, with the map being hosted via their servers. Maybe someone still has the maps saved somewhere, but I would think Blizzard will take them down if they are re-uploaded.

With the beta ending soon on Mar 1st, and there being 12 days where you can't play hots, wouldn't it be great if this map came back, completely updated to the latest version of hots? It would especially be useful for players who are preparing for the HotS tourneys that are happening right after HotS's release, like @ MLG. Or would Blizzard still be against this map and try to shut it down, even with the beta ending?

You can probably copy and lift the entirety of HotS multiplayer data in the editor.

Wouldn't there be some value in being able to play 'Proto-HotS' or something? See that warhound in action one more time? Those range 23 tempests and 'battle hellions'?

The cease-and-desist was supposedly because people might get confused between the real beta and HotS custom.

But once the beta finishes, couldn't it be republished as a kind of cool comparative thing to see how far the beta has gone since then?

Now that the beta is officially down, are there any plans on bringing this back?

The problem is that HotS brings so little change in multiplayer, many people would just play the modded maps and be done with it (would be like the unranked ladder, only without the mmr matching; a channel/ a site could be used to find opponents with similar skill and then play the modded maps.)
Nice dick-move blizz!
