The place positioning in relation to the overall map (distances) is flawed on Burning Altar and Twilight Peaks. So is the base placement on maps like Antiga Shipyard or Nerazim Crypt with the 3rd close by. But that is - as you said - due to 12 base 4p rotational not working. I won't do this in the future I think. | ||

In the case of BA it is easy to be solved actually. From the staff/judges vote I actually am motivated to elaborate my concept and keep on working on maps with more than two spawns and do better maps in the future. Although BA did not win anything it showed good potential overall - besides that one abuse that happened once! I am still super happy that I have been part in this competition and the TLAF Open. Cheers to all fellow mapmakers. Custom mapping just took a huge step no matter what Blizzard will make of it. Thx to Plexa for continuing support and organization! | ||

As a random player, that map is the one I want to see on the ladder. I haven't played enough, but it might be closely the best map on the official ladder pool if it does become selected. | ||

The thing I really hope for is that they take the top two and don't change anything about the maps. It's a worthy wish, but expect gold starting bases and destructible debris on your ramp to the natural. | ||

I won't do this in the future I think. After Reading your comment again, i have to say I strongly disagree! The core concept of 12 bases works. Antiga might not be balanced well regarding positional balance and twilight peak has scaling problems and Burning altar current version has drop and tank issues, but the concept in general works - maybe even best on BA if players get the chance to adept to the center and the need of scouting and towers. You said that a few days ago  | ||

Hope we see more of these big mapmaking tournaments in the future, having "the equivalent of a big LAN for mapmaking teams" (as Diamond put it) seems to really have motivated a lot of people. Maybe MLG could do something like this during their offseason and have an online tournament to go with it, and put the winnng map in the next mlg map pool. It can't always be a TL map contest, or that would stop being special. | ||
