Very true. 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.

Do not feed the troll. We both know why our maps did not do better. The flaws are known (among evil experts and players). 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!

OMG yes! Cloud Kingdom won. That user-poll showed it was behind Ohana by over a hundred votes (I know there were other factors) and it made me sad.

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.

Well since blizzard is giving away some pretty good prizes for this challenge, it makes me think that they will put at least one of these maps in the ladder pool.... who knows when though. 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.

Please Blizzard, take those maps into the ladderpool. Or at least make maps can reach up to the standards of the mapmaking- community. And grats to the winners, they deserve attention for their hard work!

Hmm, I was kind of hoping for Korhal Compound or Ohana. The games I've played and seen on both have been amazing. The ledges in the middle on Cloud Kingdom seem real Terran-friendly. If the terran can seige up there, he can easily control his half of the map without letting you approach the edge of your own half. Either way though, these are all very thoughtful maps, and I hope Blizzard accepts any of them. Great contest, and good job contestants.

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

Wow! Reading about these maps makes me wish I could play them right now! Hope they do well getting into tournaments! Anyone know whether there's any chance of seeing some new maps in HomeStoryCup next week? Probably wouldn't be enough time for players to practice them, but it would be cool!

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.

Cloud Kingdom is such an awesome looking map. I really really want to see some tournament games played on it! Now! gogo!!
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.
