This is awesome. Last time we got some of the best maps the game has seen, so hopefully we'll get something similar this time too! And team maps? Seeing how many flaws the current ones have I hope we get reasonable maps with secure naturals and smaller ramps.

Something to get excited about again! I wonder if Blizzard is doing this because they want to start developing team leagues as well? I made a post about it a long time ago, but it would be exciting if that could actually come to fruition

I am looking forward to seeing what kind of unique maps people can come up with using the new map objects & textures

Excellent! The map contest is finally under way.

I suppose I'll have to get busy with my mapmaking to complete my current WIP.

Neat~ I wish we had these more often. The last one brought us cloud kingdom and ohana =D I just hope another Korhal doesn't make it through haha. I hated that map!

When seeing this I thought an amazing April fools joke would be to have a map making contest for dota 2 lol.

Nice to see this again though. So many good maps came out of the first contest.

Hey, I dont have the skills or time to use map editor, but I am willing to work closely with someone who does! PM me, or email me at nickbradvica@yahoo.com if you are interested in teaming up! I have been sketching maps for fun in my free time, and I am really excited to put something together. Let me know!

Thinks hard.

Open editor, revert daybreak 90 degree. CAN I?

Seriously i hope, something weird will be born, maybe not Monty Hall weird but something where classic meets novum and works :o

Kinda dont like restrictions but i guess gotta be shaped for Blizzard.

Well, I've got my 1v1 maps sorted out and for the most part done, now I just need to keep getting them playtested and tweaking them up. Appears I've now got ~3 weeks or so to create some team maps. Hmm, I've never created a team map before, this could be interesting...
