Description
This map was previously a map I had released for Wings of Liberty. I redesigned the map to be focused as 2v2, but still have the option to 1v1. Each player has a fairly easy to secure natural and third, and a backdoor base blocked with some rocks that is easily defensible from a small choke, making each of the four players able to take 4 bases fairly safely. The middle has a high ground with a single XNT and ramps all around the platform. There are two gold bases that have very open mineral lines.

I wouldn't like it as a 1v1 map, because the bases are all way to clumped together and you could easily turtle off so many bases. With that said, I think as a 2v2 map it is quite enjoyable. My biggest concern is having the seperate mains because I always thought it was a lot tougher to hold early aggression especially if they both just bum rush one player. Then again I don't 2v2 at all so I can't really comment on strats, only what I've heard.

I actually don't think you need the golds in there, maybe put watchtowers where the golds are so there can be even more vision over the entire map.

I'm also not a big fan of the backdoor expansion. I think it could be pretty neat just to make it an island base with no ramp to it, but still have it touching your main. It might benefit terran too hard though since they could lift off and get a free base early, but /shrug.

Aesthetics are alright, I think some of the white decals around the mineral lines seem a little just...thrown in there. Just put the white circles over the geysers, would make it look nicer imo. It could just be me but I'm also not a fan of the pinkish/greyish man made that you have everywhere. What is that? Avernus maybe? I think it'd look nicer with Tarsonis Manmade walls and a type of concrete + broken concrete.

So yeah, fun 2v2 map, but I'd absolutely hate it 1v1.

Keep up the good work bud!
