I've made a few other maps but the reason I don't keep making new ones is because : 1) Nobody plays them so it's a big waste of time 2) Mapping contests only pick the most standard maps and never try novelty so why bother trying new things. I played in this month tournament and imo the first map shouldn't have been picked as a finalist. And what the guy I played said about the second map was it sucked too. So I don't how judges pick their maps (probably a mix between name dropping (bonus points if your maps has the ESV or TPW tag) and conservatism, what they know work) but they should start trying new things. I think I explained the ideal mix between standart and original plenty in past motm discussions, but yeah, it's definitly about the mapteam names. I usually just ignore any maps that aren't made by a team, so if you want better chances, just add like 3 capital letters before the mapname and you'll most certainly make it at least into the top20. Also I'd like to say that almost every judge thought about at least 1 map that it shouldn't have made it into the top5. So you see, it's not that easy to please everyone.

Pathable water forever <3 Yeah I felt a bit bad writing that one in particular, however seeing those features in so many maps in the last ~6 months helped tremendously  | ||

It can favor the attacker even more than destuctible rocks. I think this design is just flawed. On ESV Discord it takes 1:30 to break the gold minerals with only 2 workers (counting the time it takes to build the gas,+1 worker for terran and zerg), while it takes 2:00 to break destructible rocks with 6 zerglings. If you dropped a gas with your scouting worker it just takes 1:05 to break the golden wall. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/AAxoE.png) | ||

The only viable reason to do this would be ZvT or ZvP... and even in both of those matchups, I can't imagine it making a big difference except super early against a forge FE. That's worth looking into though. | ||

I know these are part joking/part award, but really I am honored to have recieved in the category I did. Every map of mine might turn out to be a Frankenstein's monster, but with every map I make I try to leave some interesting ideas and some useful information on the elements used. I would not be so proud as to assume anyone has been intentionally using any of those ideas to date, but I have noticed certain maps employing certain similar features that I cannot help but wonder if I might have subconsciously influenced them.

I am not on a map making team, nor are chuky500 or ArcticRaven (at least, they don't appear to be on either TPW or ESV rosters). You just need to find out how to be a more interesting newb like me I guess. | ||
