@Big J: I agree with the others, the 3rd one is the best, maybe try adding a couple wider paths through the center though.

@IeZaeL: It's a great choice, I'd enjoy seeing a map with a 2 entrance nat tested in a tournament

Really great to see Crux reaching out to the global community to produce new maps. I'm on holidays right now so my submissions will have to wait until the second half of August.

I am. I've had a theory of island maps that I want to try out.

Unfortunately, I have no experience at all at making melee maps, so even without the crazy concept, failure is expected

I did. I meant that Icarus was interesting.

I guess you can as long as it wasn't used anywhere, but it's boring

. May be you oculd change it up a little bit before you submit it then.

That's great thanks.

Again, I think it's great that Team Crux is reaching out to TL like this. For full disclosure, I'm not a mapper, but I am interested in maps and their potential so if my questions are dumb please forgive me everyone

Someone renamed the thread... who -.-

also, in response to the redditor who was complaining about the 8m2g aspect, this is what I said:

Please note it is a competition to give "amateur" mappers to get their maps tested, so it's not a "crazy" map competition per se. Also, it's a "guideline" so that people who are starting out can have an idea, and it's not a strict restriction. IF you have a great reason behind the custom mineral arrangement, the map will still be considered. However, maps that have custom mineral amounts but are not well-thought through will have a disadvantage.
eg. Icarus

Is there some received wisdom as to why that 2gold 4blue back door set up was not well thought out? I'm just curious.

He meant it the other way around tho, that the 2g4b is a nice and interesting set up not a bad one.

Did he though? oO

Dammit, now I actually have to open up the map editor and try to design something new. Although, knowing me, I'll attempt to design something new for ~10minutes, get annoyed, close the editor, open it back up ~3 days before deadline, modify an existing map...

Haha, this should be fun! Good luck all.

Post your submissions in this thread plz, it's fun to see what people submit!

Do you want one of my many frankenstein's experiments?

I also think you should spread the prize pool a little bit , i never liked the " winner takes all" and im sure none does. Except for the winner ofc.

If I win it's going straight to motm prizepool. And a chocolate shake.

I did. I meant that Icarus was interesting.

Quite frankly, I understand that it could be boring, but considering that if they didn't win, it didn't get attention, I'm inclined to submit my old maps. I feel that they're good enough competitions but just didn't manage to win in the past. If I get a chance, I will look into improving them or making new maps though.

And now you have me craving a chocolate shake =(.

The prize for 2nd through 7th is "Will be used to play in PlayXP GongSL Master, Grand Master League". Isn't Korean GMs playing your map pretty cool? If that's what that is...

Does anyone know anything about these leagues? I couldn't find any English information on them. Players? Prizepool? Will any portion of them be broadcast? Will the replays be available anywhere?

Since Quoting would make it soo confusing:

@Dapper_Cad:
Yeah, one of the main thing about this tournament is that afterwards you can get KR Master/GM Replays on your maps as well as constructive feedback. I don't think there will be any English information on this though, because it's such a small league.

That strikes me as pretty awesome.

I don't want to be a pedant or overly demanding but, how will foreign map makers access the replays and feedback? Will you post links to the replays here? Will the feedback be posted here or elsewhere? Will the feedback in English or will the TL community need to rustle up some translators? Will the feedback be from players or Crux's mappers?

I don't mean to harangue you, I just enjoy reading expert map analysis and would love watching aspiring Korean pros play on new maps.
