Well, I don't know what the original size of some Blizzard maps is.
You should be able to open their maps in the editor, all you have to do is log in through the editor. When going to open a map, look under Battle.Net. This is also the best way to quickly browse their catalog of maps when you're looking to create one.
Here's an intermission before the polls are made : if you open Daybreak LE and go to the import module, you'll see they forgot to remove the GSL loading screen. Same thing for Worldwind, Belshir Vestige, Newkirk, Neo Planet S, Korhal Sky Island. 3 to 4 Mbs of useless data each time.
But then again, these guys also forgot to actually remove the immortal warpin ability, they just removed it from the command card. You could still transmit abilities from the alpha over the command stream in the early days of WoL, people made exploits to warp in immortals, phase shift with templar, use all the retardedly overpowered removed abilities from the mothership.

This is true but then again with the phase shift templars you can use the overpowered immortals with the warp gate to get the hardened shields to successfully feedback the command stream. Without Blizzard giving us the Command stream we wouldn't be able to actually get into the data editor to remove the abilities such as Hardened Shields and Phase Shift (aka Blink).
Remember, they might be sloppy but without their sloppiness you wouldn't get the possibility to accommodate the command stream information systems. This leads me to believe that Blizzard took the data from the command stream and used limiting functions to delegate certain abilities to be able to launch without the need of the command stream. By allowing those abilities to launch without confirmation means that we, the map makers, can check the phase shifting hardened shields immortals to balance them.
Remember, on Skype we all had this conversation before and I'm pretty sure it was Timetwister that falsely identified the function to allow data to infiltrate the command stream. (Typical ESV, so noob) Luckily Sigma had a dream forge in that excellent brain of his to solve the equations limiting the phase shifting immortals.
With that said,
Good job Sigma, for shame Timetwister & Good luck to all participates!

Whaaaaaaaaaaat are you talking about?
Is this some attempt to troll or set me up by purposefully saying completely meaningless things?

I too remember no such thing. Since you're talking about early game exploits...if this occurred before TLMC1, I wasn't around.

I'm pretty sure this is purposefully constructed grammatical nonsense using some buzzwords to bite and entrap me to reveal I don't know what I'm talking about. What's said there makes no sense from a technical standpoint.

THese kinds of passages are really devoid of any meaning.

Considering I have a job and stuff, when I have time. That's why I said sometime early this week, instead of giving a date. So, sometime later today or tomorrow for my time zone.
As a reminder for participants, make sure you have all required info in your posts.
.Looking through some of these submission threads, many are missing important info that will be needed as per the rules. I will include things such as original map size and pic vs the new size and pic for voting. If you don't include all your info in your threads, I will not hunt you down to find such info.

rotated the centre bases 90 degrees and put rocks on them
stuck a great big ol' swamp in the middle
The swamp area has a lot of vission blockers so visibility is low everywhere in the swamp unless you have air support
no buildings can be built in the swamp
there is a xel'naga tower in the centre providing vision advantage in the swamp for those who hold it.
To get an idea of the size here is a size comparisson with metalopolis. Remember, close spawns are disabled but I included it anyway to get an idea of size.
Bel'shir swamp - 176 x 173 Metalopolis - 140 x 140
close spawn -Bel'Shir swamp: 121.4 -metalopolis: 107.7 -difference: +12%
close air: -Bel'Shir swamp: 148.3 -metalopolis: 135.5 -difference: +9%
I hope you like it. It was the first map I ever made. The images above are outdated as I did a bit of work on it before submitting it to this competition such as making the outside prettier, changing the water colours to match better, flattening the terrain more and fixing the pathing problems in the mains.
The swamp area is a mechanic never seen in a competitive map before and one I have never seen in ANY map before. (Though I'm sure others have thought of it / done it as well). As such it is hard to say how it would work out in competitive play. Maybe it is not as balanced as metalopolis but I would argue that it would make for a more fun map and thus qualify as a "better than Blizzard map". QED.
Uploaded as Bel'Shir swamp on the NA and EU region for those wanting to try it
Well, never got a chance to finish this one, but I'll post it here just for shits and giggles. I'm not submitting this BTW, just did it for fun. This contest needed some team map loving anyway.
