Also Eureka is that 4p desert mpa that is posted here on TL right? because that one doesn't look bad at all i must say, it may have some inefficient mineral patches and a vespene geiser or two here and there, but that is nothing really game breaking. Also can you guys link me to the Vod's? i can't seem to find them. | ||

So as Timmay say it seems that they actually forgot to announce the winners.

On one of the bases, the minerals are misplaced so that there's a massive mining deficiency on that base compared to the others, and it's a main base. T T Also the lighting isn't great, but it's bearable. | ||

Ravage Eureka Derelict Colony Illumination Panwa (As Timmay helpfully pointed out  )One map will enter the fall season map pool! Watch the games this summer to see how they play out. Thanks for participating and hope to see some awesome games! | ||

T T Also the lighting isn't great, but it's bearable. All mineral lines on Eureka are equal (4 close patches and 4 one hex further) as are the gases. The different formations with 2 "further away" patches next to each other may give the optical illusion of it being inequal, but I assure you it is not. As for the lighting I think you'll get used to if you play 2-3 games longer than 10 minutes. I skimmed through the games and every game on every map was an allin basically, which is understandable with new maps and short prep time. Also there are new laddermaps so just bad timing there. Hopefully we'll get to see some longer games aswell so we can make real judgements on the maps. I'm really excited about this | ||

That said, the maps are all solid (if a bit on the safe side), so grats winners. Also for the most part the aesthetics are cool, so props on that as well. | ||

Not that that is bad, just uninspiring. If the meta game on "new" maps is exactly the same as on the old maps, why even bother creating the new ones? | ||

Do you mean that i won't get a parade when my maps start getting into tournaments?? wft man!? I have to agree here with you Sidian, ANY map pool cycling is welcome, and this may give that small push that some other tournament organizers are needing to cycle out their map pools too. | ||

I just can't shake the feeling that at this rate in LotV we will still be playing on maps that are interchangeable w/ most 2012 ladder/tourney maps. For me that is a "yikes", for some people that is fine. Just depends on what you like. <3 | ||

Community maps finally getting at least a little attention is great.

For me that is a "yikes", for some people that is fine. Just depends on what you like. <3 This was by the way the map pool in the GSL in the last season before CK was introduced (the one Jjakji won) Antiga Shipyard, Bel'shir Beach (not winter), Calm Before the Storm, Crossfire SE, Daybreak, Dual Site, Tal'Darim Altar. Notice something? Each of these maps had a completely different setup and required very different strategies. We had maps which had conservative naturals in Antiga and Daybreak, we had maps with more open naturals such as Dual Site and Bel'shir Beach, we had two maps without a ramp in TDA and Bel'shir Beach, we had one map with an indoor natural, Calm Before the Storm, and we had Crossfire which basically had a third so far away that most strategies revolved around 2basing and 1-1-1 all ins. People actually picked their strat for the map back then. Enter Cloud Kingdom, it was such a huge success and it did a couple of things, a conservative natural and virtually no airspace and almsot every map after it aped it wanting to be the next CK that people forgot how to play otherwise. Many protoss players tell you you can't expand on an open natural while protoss players used to be able to that just fine, without the mothership core no less, you cannot possibly convince me that something in the metagame stops you from now expanding on it while Z has gotten no early game tools to punish it and P has gotten the mothership core. Also notice the lack of airspace, something I've never been a fan of. At the beginning of CK many casters commented on that mutas were bad on CK and infestors were the way to go when the infestor rage was about starting because there was no airspace for mutas to use. This was back when infestors vs mutas was still a choice based on the map and the infestor-style was still known as some-what gimmicky and people doubted it would be viable forever, many people were saying Stephano would disappear once people figured infestors out.. Well, most maps after CK did away with airspace behind bases and so went the mutalisk. Most maps after CK also made really conservative thirds that Z could never break with broods, the maps were so chocked up that Z had no other choice but going infestor/BL, what happened next is history. | ||
