Koprulu has the Outsider idea done right. Great work monitor! Electric Circuit is some of the best port out there, although the aesthetic hurts my eyes thats my top 3 map. Keru & Frost looks interesting too, the others seem a too generic with a few twists here and there | ||

A huge problem in map making right now is that people have boxed 'acceptable' maps into a set of constraints that stifle creativity to the point where if a map isn't a daybreak clone it is a shit map. With HotS changing so many things I think it's time we leave our preconceived notions of what makes a map good at the door and see what these maps have to offer to spice up gameplay. Any serious imbalances will be treated before the TL Open after the testing of the TL Strategy team. EDIT: all maps except retribution have been uploaded. Retribution is giving me an error when I try upload it so I will work out what is going wrong with NewSunshine and get it uploaded asap. | ||

Can I just use this post as an oppurtunity to not only the map makers themselves, but also yourself and the other judges/organisers of this contest to give you guys a huge, massive thankyou? I'm so glad this is the approach the contest took and I couldn't have really asked for better finalists to be chosen as you've given us a good list of very different maps that all look to play differently and add interesting concepts to the game. I'm so happy one of these maps is going to make it on to ladder and not, as you said another Daybreak clone. I can't thank you enough, seriously. :D | ||

Back door rocks reminds me of the original Shakuras Plateau which created so many hilarious games, for me at least. Thanks to the TL admins and members of the community for making this happen! How far out is the TL Open? | ||

I love Daybreak because it’s a good map, and a good map is more important to me than a new map. It’s not about being a clone anyway, for example Penumbra, EK Icecrown , The Belly of the Beast, Artesia Prospect and Eureka seem interesting. I don’t think that going for quirky maps just for the sake of something new is a good idea. You made your opinion clear during CTL so it’s not a new concept to me but I didn’t expect TLMC to turn out this way. | ||
