I've updated the OP showing the latest version. I've polished up the aesthetics a fair bit and fixed some bugs. It's now uploaded on KR, SEA, EU and NA servers. | ||

Is there some new layout he's come up with that I'm missing or something? I understand one will work on a WIP with people through Skype weeks before posting, but I'm stumped. I don't see why he's being added to the ESV roster. Timetwister was a sudden move, and one that looked premature, but even that was a more justified addition than this. Gfire has a few WIP's so far besides this, but I don't see why he's considered a solid addition to the same team that has Jacky on it. Maybe there's some overriding goal they're trying to accomplish, but I don't understand. | ||

I have nothing against you at all, and I'm glad to see you make more maps instead of just commenting on them. My point is that unless Diamond knows something I don't, it would appear ESV is lowering their standards. You're not a bad mapmaker, but to be acquired by ESV so quickly seems... off. Who knows, I'll give it some time. | ||

Who knows, I'll give it some time. You mean because I don't post a lot of maps? I mean, obviously I hadn't gotten a map into a pool before joining ESV, but that's kind of a steep requirement. It's hard enough to get a map into pools even on a team. But I've been making maps since the day the editor came out during beta, so it's not exactly quickly. But you know, I can't say I wasn't a bit surprised, myself. And I hope to prove that I can be up to those high standards. | ||

So do I :o But I don't expect to be picked up by any team any time soon... A good map is a good map. Congratulations. If anything this should be exciting for budding mapmakers, not met with jealousy. If you pull off a good map you can be rewarded. I agree also, but this is a pretty competitive community so every budding mapmaker is trying to get recognized. | ||

I also dislike the 1/2 bases for 3rds/4ths. Especially since it's all double wide ramps to get those bases good luck against any 2 base timing push. Yet even if you meet them as they are crossing in the middle of the map they also have all those ramps to defend on. I also dislike that you can cliffwalk from one of the thirds into the main. It'll only promote 1 or 2 base play even more, it'll be a perfect spot for terran to leapfrog tanks/bio, it'll be perfect for blink stalkers and forcefields (especially with the 2x-ramp). Congratulations on getting it into ESV map pool, that's awesome and it'll be a blast to see games played on your map. Unfortunately I don't care for this map just because as I said earlier I just feel it's a worse version of Whirlwind. (This isn't a bad thing at all though because it's still a great map!) Keep up the good work though bud! | ||

I'm not so sure that makes for sufficient criteria when it comes to joining the 'premiere mapping team'. It's a good reason for ESV members to give comments and feedback for his maps, and if he proves himself at some point then recruit him, but I'm saying this looks like a snap decision. And also, if you're looking for mappers that have maps with potential, respond well to criticism, and work well with already established mapmakers, what's wrong with waiting for MotM? I don't want to come off as rude, and if I did I probably overreacted. I don't wish to argue with you guys. | ||

I don't want to come off as rude, and if I did I probably overreacted. I don't wish to argue with you guys. It wasn't a rushed decision at all, we took weeks (if not months) to decide who was right. "Basic skills of the editor" wasn't exactly what I meant - we were looking for somebody who was really good. And I'm not saying you or anybody else isn't "really good", I just mean that I shouldn't have been so loose with the explanation. Another major factor was how active and dedicated the person was, and Gfire showed that he is to us. All of the ESV members agreed that we wanted some fresh blood that we could help along the way (we were getting less and less active- and I can tell you now, we've got a lot of projects in the works). Anyway lets limit this to a skype chat from now on so we don't derail this thread too much. Just wait for the announcement otherwise. | ||
