i rly like most of the maps, although burning altar seems strange i think it'll play out just fine. the only thing that i (not a mapmaker) would say is that on haven's lagoon, the water outside of all the bases needs to be stripped and the border brought flush with the land, it seems like banshee rushes/ mutalisks almost at all, would be a little too good with that much room to maneuver but perhaps it plays just fine, we'll have to wait and see ^.^

that picture shows the well beyond the playable map portion. actual map doesnt have all that water around it

Could someone who actually played the controversial map Haven explain why it plays so awesome? I'm not in the position to actually play it any time soon - neither is my league (high gold, facing mid plat players) sufficient to really analyze it. But I would love some first person experiences on the map.

For example: the map looks very zerg favorite (it looks really open), but given the positive feedback, I'm sure it looks wrong. So some first person experience explanations would be very welcome. I'm very curious about it.
I love.

Thanks so much.

I really liked Bardiche and wanted to give it the go ahead except for one major problem, after the 2 rocks are broken, it's just too close to reach your opponent, and the tiny choke left by the rocks is just too small. I really don't see any reason why those rocks couldnt just be permanent walls. besides that it looks amazing.

as for Starlight Breaker, well the 3rd is just way too easy to protect simultaneously as your nat. er meaning that if you're defending your 3rd, youre also essentially defending your nat. also the gold bases are too close to the main, easily tankable from above. seeing as how there's only 5 bases per player, gold included, it would be nice if you had the option of taking the other gold as your 5th rather than the one that's close by air to main only. also, I personally dislike golds and don't think they belong in sc2, and would rather not see them in any maps.

Combustion has far too many narrow paths/chokes all over, without any real decent wide spaces

Hey just realized I have a question about Haven's lagoon. Didn't notice the gold minerals up there till just now but I'm a bit confused by them, are they on the same level as the ground where the CC/Hatch/Nexus will be... or are the workers mining uphill?
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Alot of the maps look really cool and are neatly designed. Kudos to the makers. That said, a good chunk of them have an outrageous amount of ramps and small small chokes that really alter gameplay choices and favor engagements in the choke. There is very little room to spread out in alot of those cases. Which is insanely bad for zerg players attacking a terran tank position, or terran (and zerg) players attacking protoss death balls. Feels like some of the maps would favor a particular race by a huge amount. Not that, that isnt something we havent seen in other map pools.

Just how it appears to me in some of the cases. Daggoth crater and cloud kingdom look really interesting to me though. It will be fun to see how these turn out.

Gameplay should always outweight aesthetics. Haven is the only map to me that has a fun, refreshing concept.


+1 (The general idea, I am not good enough of a player to judge Haven or any other on first glance.)

A good concept can always be made to look cooler.
A bad idea painted in fluo colors will still be a bad idea.


Anyway, good work everyone who tried, the judges, and Blizzard if they become more open using maps or map ideas from the community.

Burning altar looks awesome, I feel like the rocks don't add anything to the game in cross spawn positions, but in close spawn they actually make it worthwhile having them in. I really like the wide and multiple paths in the middle. Very simple and aesthetically pleasing with the Trees and such making clear cut paths.

Haven looks like a very fun map and its very unique. I'm curious how it plays and what pro's think about it!

The maps look interesting, but some of them could use some Eye candy .

I don't see anything immediately objectionable about these maps. So I guess that's a very good start, because I always nitpick.

Field of Strife and Ohana are real eye candies.
Will these maps every get played for events like the TSL? i would prefer community made maps over Blizzards any day.

Okay, thanks a bunch. Though I feel I could've just gotten rid of the middle paths if I'd been contacted. The Starlight problems seem reasonable though. Thanks for the feedback.

Assuming mine went through, might I get thoughts/feedback on my map, Sunken Quarry? I felt that map was my best of the 3 I submitted, where the others I can see have been clearly trumped.
