So this will be picked up into the ladder pool not next season but the season after that one? And without any stupid ladder edition changes by Blizzard?

There are no guarantees that any of these maps will make the ladder or that these maps will be in S5, S6 or even S7. We'll just have to wait and see.

While the comment is technically true. I think we all win.

The top three could all easily be adopted by any tournament organiser that wanted to stand out, be brave and push the standards forward. And while three might be too much for one tournament for any of the majors, I would be disappointed if we did not see them start to trickle in.

Amazing effort. And much needed visibility and recognition for people who can really help the tournament scene move forward.

I really liked the TL open with the new maps. It sure showed the creativity of the players and kept the experience fresh.

You are 100% correct, but the competitive side of me took over for a minute hehe!

It's like winning a LAN for a team, this was the biggest mapping tournament in SC2 and we rocked it!

I was actually also very surprised to see that Korhal compound was doing so poorly in the polls, I liked the map very well.

Wonderful job to Superman! (I call him that).

While I felt Ohana was definitely considerable, I felt that Cloud Kingdom had a little more edge and I think it definitely deserved the winning spot. Getting 2nd place is still damn good to me though

As a map-making community, we've come a long way in such a short amount of time, but let's take this moment to reflect that foreign map-makers are getting spotlighted more, so there is not only a bright future, but an equal chance for all of us out there.

I hope blizzard uses any of the 3 top maps for ladder! Good job ESV as well, TPW is right behind you

Ha ha ha, Diamond cracks me up.

Congrats to all the finalists. I'm super please with these, and looking forward to see Cloud Kingdom -- and the others, but especially CK as it was my favorite -- in tournaments to come!

I loved Cloud Kingdom at Korean Weekly (I think it was Jinro agains anonther Terran). My only complainment would be that it looked quite boring in game. So grey in grey, the different colours didn´t came out in the broadcast for me.
But the layout was fantastic so gratz for the win!

Gz superouman, well deserved winner!

How Korhal Compound can finish last in public vote is beyond me, the map is amazing! Would have loved to see Burning Altar in up there as well, but well we all have our opinions.

gg everyone Was a nice contest and Cloud Kingdom deserves its spot! It's the most complicated high level 2p map I have ever seen but it's brilliant and also aesthetically unique.

I noticed that Twilight Peaks was pretty imba and in a way bad design some time ago so I'm not at all surprised to see it last in the staff vote But I (as others) have learned and improved since then and will keep making better maps.

I rly wish the public poll didn't have such a big impact. I feel the opinion of most of the community... well... can't really be trusted. I don't understand how Burning Altar can be 3rd in staff vote and don't make top5 :/ I hope this INCREDIBLE middle design will inspire other maps in the future.

thx for mentioning BA going 3 and 6 and still ending out of top5. i can live with it, but it is a bit strange really. i will keep on developing that map and balance it and hope some tournamnet gives it a chance as it was chosen by the pros really often.
also i will make sure to make the base integral part of a 16base map asap.

Best map won :D

we can only hope Blizzard adds this beauty to the pool. Or, at the very least, GSL/Dreamhack/MLG catch wind of this because I'm tired of seeing games on Bel'shir, Dual Site, Crossfire, and Shakuras.
