Just like the korean map makers. Making maps 12 hours a day I'm so proud of you
BTW Korhal Compound I love it. It deserves a spot on the ladder!

How does it feel laddering on your own map?

There's also a bunch of very very bad maps that haven't been published, not sure if those should be counted or not.

Even though I make maps casually, I've improved a bit. I couldn't find my actual first map, but I did find one of the first.

All I have to say to Shrinkage is that it should be a GSL map yo.

Thank you! I love laddering on my own map, but it is a bit nerve racking too. Especially when I lose!!

Looking at all this just makes me depressed I can't make anything look half as good as some people's first attempts.
That which does not kill you has made a tactical error.

That's impossible in my case.
I would love to see anything as bad as my first attempt.

Shrinkage is absolutely brilliant. So much fun play that map with viewers and progamers during beta & early retail on iCCup.TV

So much that I tried to make Shrinkage Tournament which bugged way out and I never got around to fixing, but it was fun while it lasted (fucking terrain objects)

I think this is a great thread to reflect on not only personally, but as a community as a whole. We've come a long way since the release of SC2 and it should come as no surprise that tournaments are starting to recognize and spotlight many of our maps. This is something we should be very proud of as a community. But we can't stop here, we still have hundreds of maps to make for HotS and LotV!

Oh indeed

Personally, I'm really excited for the new tilesets they're releasing, they all look really really cool. I'm kinda thinking about an Ice/Lava theme map, sorta like Dual Sight.

Oh, and the restructible rocks, or whatever the hell they're doing, should be interesting too :p
