i'm sure someone has mentioned it, but it seems like staff and public votes [except for Cloud Kingdom] are polar opposites in some cases, Korhal compound is 1 and 7 respectively, Burning alter 3 and 6, and havens lagoon 6 and 3.
terrible, terrible damage!

great maps. this should be a monthly thing


Agreed. Monthly (or even once every two months) would be awesome. But we have something similar, check out Map of the Month - Winter, it has awesome prizes (winner gets into IEM).

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.


Well, whether the public can "be trusted" or not, the TL community is not all about expert mapmakers and expert progamers. And in reference to Burning Altar, a lot of us public spectators witnessed some serious Terran abuse of those ledges near the third (the game vs Destiny) and I wasn't impressed how close the high ground was to the other expansion--the action gravitated to that point and that point was close enough that a tank could shell a hatchery/CC/Nexus.

tl;dr The public can't be trusted is a maxim that favors elites and experts. Most of the elites and experts I know are equally as flawed and biased as the public. In fact, they are a part of the public.

Is there any tournament that has used, is using or will be using any of these maps in their pool? If so, can someone please inform me which ones they are as these are all splendid maps.


Yes. NASL is planning on using Ohana RE.

I would like to thank all the mappers for participating in this contest. Its really nice to get away from blizzards map pool and get some solid maps.

Thanks for your time and dedication to allowing us gamers to just have some good games.

Can we all now agree that 12 base 4 player maps just cant work and are terrible? Still baffeled how 2 of those made the top 7.

PS. Even thou my favorite won, i have real doupts can blizz accept it because of the aesthetics. Fog everywhere.

Congratulations!
These maps are so amazing.
I play them a lot.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Having played all 3, I think Korhal Compound was the most well rounded. Looked good and played great. Glad it made the top 3.
Don't be so humble, you're not that great.

From my feedback I said Cloud Kingdom would win, Korhal would be 2nd and Ohana would be 3rd. Seems I was extremely close on calling it correct.

Ohana <3 Nothing wrong with a great map that also pleases the eyes.
And grats to Cloud Kingdom, i was kinda afraid all those chokes would be very zerg unfriendly.

Very nice to see a scene for the map designers.

True layout vision in a variety of maps, I like it!!
