I shall be submitting these two for 1v1. The aesthetics may get cleaned up or detailed in the coming days. Additionally, I do have a 2v2 and a 3v3 map created for submission, but neither are decorated at this point. I'll gladly share them once they look nice.

I know we need to 'uphold the balance' and all, but I would really like to see maps that have a completely different main / natural layout than what we have seen so far. In most the maps I see, the author is being as original as possible with the rest of the map, but the main and natural look (from an amateur standpoint atleast) always pretty much the same (with some variation here and there, but overall pretty conventional).

I secretly hope that one day we can have a map that is completely different from its predecessors in that regard, and still works out balance wise. I think we had a few attempts in WoL, but I would really love to see all stops pulled in HotS.
In any case, while maps obviously need to work out balance wise, my vote would probably go to those who bring something really original and refreshing to the table.

Also, how do mapmakers feel about a map with no dead space? I believe I saw a thread about this recently, and I was wondering what would happen if we had more space near the sides to intercept drops with ground-to-air, and more space to do battle over side expansions.

I appreciate what you guys are doing here, and it's a great initiative. I hope some good maps come out of this.
