'Antiga would be classified under Strategy (though I agree, it's bad).
It is categorized as such because you cannot play a standard game on it (middle position too strong, along with the fact that getting a fourth is impossible. That, along with the exposed ring that the base forms makes it a strategy map in todays meta. When it was released, however, it was more along the lines of "standard", not quite as big as crevasse/taldarim/terminus, but not too too small.

Wait, how do I submit these?
Just post a link here to the map, and preferably make it avaliable on NA (kr-->eu lag is pretty fucking bad).
Feel free to submit within the next few days as I didn't let you know in time.

Yes, it would obviously be a strategy map, but you are allowed to submit. B/c I didn't get back to you, please, submit at your leisure (within a day or two).

If you can finish it up within a day or two, I'll let you squeeze it in there.

Semmo making us look bad with his badass concept maps.
I agree categorizing a map into a single category is tough/probably isn't entirely feasible. I think in future competitions every map should get 2 labels, as most maps fall into TWO categories, not one (e.g. "Daybreak - Macro/Standard"). This is based on many things. What matchup is being played on it? For instance, Cloud Kingdom is a pretty standard map for many matchups, but for PvP it's quite often blink wars. Daybreak is definitely a macro map, although most people consider it the "standard" map for standard play. Antiga could be standard, micro, or even macro depending on the spawn points. (you can do this with almost any map)
I agree with you on this point, but the categorizing of maps is important for purposes of this tournament b/c it gives a rough guideline to players as to how to play the maps. If you go into metropolis thinking, "ok, lots of bases, big map, let's expand" or look at ohana and go "well, I don't have a realistic fifth, and getting a fourth is pretty tough", you're allowed a little more leniency. Maps do bend the lines, of course (Whirlwind, the quintisential "macro" map, atm, for instance, usually sees more 1base protoss play b/c of the wide and small natural, for instance, and b/c it's big pheonix play is very popular, etc).
That being said, this is how I would categorize Semmo's maps:
1- Standard 4p rotational
2- Micro
3- Strategy
4- Unsure, as the map looks somewhat unfinished. If you finish it up in a few days, let me know <3

Well, it doesn't change anything to the gameplay, it just makes things nicer 
Thanks for the extension, now it better work or I'll look bad :D

Oh I won't be submitting any others for the contest, I just meant my next map (which is probably several weeks away from completion/is in super alpha stages given that I'm starting to get a little busy with other things) was initially going to have that name. I'm sure everyone that almost has a map done thanks you for your leniency, though :-P
+ I don't know if we've said it yet or not, but thanks for using user maps for your tourney. I think for most of us it's a hobby that we do for fun, and go into it knowing that it will be mostly/entirely thankless, but it's nice when any of us get recognized by having our maps used.

Just wanted to say I've edited one of my maps - it has received quite a few gameplay changes and is now called Absolution instead of Absolution Prime
Also that trigger idea for fire didn't work well, finally. I might retry it another day, but I'll pass for this one

Probably too late (perfectly fine if it is, I mean, deadline was 3 days ago), but I made an update to my map,
Savanna + Show Spoiler [Overview] +, so if you consider the map for play, keep this new version in mind as well.

So any news about this competition?

Maybe we'll hear something soon - the summer season post says it goes through september, so assuming there's not a huge gap inbetween the seasons this one should start soon.
|
I enjoy seeing some great maps scrolling through the pages :D
|
Hey guys! Results will be posted in about a week or a week and a half!
