Daggoth looks like an interesting map but I don't know if I can stomach to ladder on another map with tileset. I actually like the looks of a few of them.. I particularly like the cloud one.

Honestly, I don't mind the criticism on my aesthetics on Havens. Primarily beacause I just got into mapmaking, literally, three weeks before this contest began. At the time, all I had to compare against were ladder maps. Of course I've seen other maps in tournaments, but through a casters perspective, I didn't really get to pay much attention to the aesthetics. After seeing the other submitted maps, I quickly realized that my aesthetics were quite a problem. However, I was reassured that it was how the map played that would get it to at least an honorable mention. However, after making top 7, I can assure all of you that the aesthetics will be greatly improved to quality you expect. Whether it be through me with some sort of coaching or assistance, or done by another talented mapmaker, will be determined. Certainly a leason learned, and sorry for the eye sore :p. However, I hope you at least enjoy playing on Havens Lagoon

Voting for Haven's Lagoon. Fun as fuck, holy shit! Hard to defend vs Mutas, but fun nonetheless.

You made a fun map, who gives a fuck about aesthetics, really -.- Pretty sure it's all about unique/fun gameplay. If ever your map blows up, I'm sure someone out there would 'refine' how it looks. Hopefully pre-Oct Bel'Shir-ish.

Could I get some criticism on my maps and the ESV team map?

Cloud Kingdom reminds me of Twilight fortress. I remember playing a really odd capital ship mass expanding style when playing 2v2 on that map. Was it called Bobby's Flying Castle because capital ships came out quite often? XP

Like neobowman is asking, I would personally appreciate any criticisms or feedback on my map, Ohana, or Burning Altar (fellow team member on TPW). Send me a PM if you have any ideas, comments or suggestions, we welcome all.

This is exactly what needed to be said. Congratulations on your selection! Brush off the haters, and start polishing your map. I can't wait to see it after some magic doodad dust is applied.

I really hope Blizzard and/or some other tournys start using some of these or other community maps. These maps seem to press the envelope more than any new Blizzard-made map.

Also lol @ funcmode going full rage mode over Haven. Sucks your team only got 2 maps in the top 7! I guess it hurts that much not have 3.. It's just hilarious how he is apparently physically incapable of comprehending the sentence: "Our primary focus was on how well the map played and whether or not it was a map players liked to play on." in the first post.

Haven's Lagoon has a pretty unique concept

Haven's Lagoon immediately jumped out to me as a very Ride of Valkyries-inspiredmap. I can't wait to play on it.

I was told I'd get such comparison, which isn't bad I suppose. Thing is, I was 8 when I played broodwar. As assumed, I didn't really take the game seriously enough to even know how to play, let alone learn map names, qualities, and skilled map makers. So in all honestly, there was little inspiration from other maps that lead to the layout of Havens Lagoon. However, I suppose great minds think alike.

Wow these maps really are amazing. It really blows my mind the talent that people have and the time their willing to dedicate to their craft. Which makes it nice for us is that we have people like these fine gentlemen that put in hours upon hours making ridiculously cool maps for us to play on...besides the blizzard maps which feel like rehashes of their old maps with little tweaks etc....You map-makers are both gentlemen and scholars

Imagine Haven's Lagoon changed to that new snowy style that you see on that new GSL map. That's be awesome. I guess it wouldn't be a lagoon anymore, but just rename it winterfell or something.

The obvious favourite imo

Best map ever. :D

Looking really good, pumped to see which one will come out... ALIVE.

If I still can absolutely not decide after the tournament my vote will go for Haven's Lagoon for obvious reasons.
