gratz to the winner, was actually my second choice after ohana (i guess that makes me a sheep or something) but it was a very close decision for me and i do think that this map deserves the win considering more experienced players obviously favor it over ohana.

Yeah they are all badass maps. I played on Cloud Kingdom with some friends and its pretty balanced, I must say. I like the concept.
Congratulations to the winners!

Yay! The map I voted for won! The map reminds me of Match Point. That map was so awesome.

Congratulations!
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

I think it's incredibly hard to judge maps without having seen enough good play on them, as the games that get played on a map are more often result of the players' mood then the map imo if they didn't specifically prepare much for it.
Many abuses and tiny things that can make or break a map are simply take some time to find out usually, like how easy it is to FFE, what can of proxy and siege positionings are there and what overlord spots are there etc.
Nevertheless the winning map looks good but I can't say much about it yet without seeing more play on it and playing it myself.

The fact the staff and public vote differ quite a lot is quite a bad sign by the way. This means that there is a lot of variance in the outcome of the votings. This means that the eventual top 5 isn't a very reliable result and you can't really draw too much conclusions about how the general acceptance of these maps will be.

Grats to superouman and esv!

Now we just wait and see which ones will be picked up by Blizzard for the ladder. Hopefully a few.

I like all of them. I actually reaaaaaaallly like Haven's Lagoon. I hope Blizzard just puts all of them into the next ladder pool and does this kind of thing seasonly. Their maps are so boring and so slow to rotate. D:

Let's hope that some of these make it into the ladder map pool!

All of the maps are amazing, and who else but the best map makers around winning the contest!
Congratulations to ESV, SUPEROUMAN, and everyone who made it to the Top 5!
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

Shame that Cloud Kingdom won. I prefer Ohana strongly
Grats anyhow.

since blizzard is paying attention i hope they add these maps without any changes.

would hate to see them mutilated with gold shiny rocks and giant heaps of rubble.

Not going to go looking for a direct quote but I believe Blizzard mentioned that they would ‘consider’ these maps for future ladder pools (not season 5 though). So could be one, multiple or indeed none, so don’t go getting your hopes up. Have a little faith though, Tal’dareim (got a feeling I’ve totally botched that spelling) is a non-Blizzard map that impressed them enough to make it in, so it is certainly possible.

You can’t blame Blizzard for not having them in season 5 though, it has practically begun (just a couple more days) and these maps only received heavy publicity about a fortnight ago. I’m guessing Blizz themselves have to analyse the map to see if it can be deemed ladder worthy (although how Searing Crater made it passed screening I’ll never know).

I like the winner, but I do have one complaint about it and that's the mist, or clouds maybe. They obscure your units, which I don't like.

Top 3 made sense and the explanations were nice. I think the staff liked Korhal because of its echos of terminus/metal.

Cloud looks like a wonderful adaptation. I hope we can see it in the bliz mappool and in some tournament play.

The only one that really puzzles me is Ohana.

Am I the only one who thinks that Sanctuary was one of the coolest maps? I agree with Cloud Kingdom for first place (not only the best aesthetically, but also an interesting layout). Maybe it's just that I'm partial to 3 Spawn maps, but I think that Sanctuary's middle layout created some really interesting movement. I don't know, that was just my thoughts, but I was surprised that it placed so lowly.

The featured replay of Cloud Kingdom (ZvT) showed it's terran favored by design. The zerg had more than half of the map and kept the terran on 3 bases but failed to break into the siege tanks line. Eventually the zerg and terran traded armies but the siege tanks on the high ground didn't take damage. The game was good from a spectator's point of view but the terran should never have been able to win that game. He won thanks to the map design.

Also I find it kind of funny that the staff that picked Heaven's lagoon downvoted it in the final poll. It shows how random people's opinion can be, even higly qualified people's opinion.
