Hi guys, the GongSL Master League is going on right now! Come watch, it has all the maps from Map-Ximum. Quite a casual stream, though.

http://www.twitch.tv/rlaxoghk05

-----------------------------------

[image loading]

- For the prize, we will contact the winner.
- The comments for 1st to 10th will be released at a later date.
- The selected maps will be used after the bugs are fixed (pathing only)
- For convenience, the maps will be uploaded by the tournament organizers.
- Please email mapximum@gmail.com for further questions.

I disagree with 6 out of 7 of these but good job to the winners I guess.
Curious who got 8th/9th/10th.
Edit: Answered elsewhere, 8th/9th are pretty decent. 10th I again disagree with. >.>

Wow, I just got home and I see this, i'm really happy right now, I don't know what to say. I guess that makes me one of the richest map maker out there

When I look at the top 7, I would have expected Neo Sol Dios, TL Laboratory or Red Rock Ridge to get a better place than my map. I'm not gonna complain though

I have two questions :
1) How was the top 7 decided ? Did the playXp community vote for the maps ? Did a jury decide ?
2) Where can I see a high resolution picture of Bel'shir narrow path ? I haven't seen a TL thread for this map.

The judging was based on how interesting the gameplay seemed, not the quality of the map.

Kind of out of topic but I just now realised that the drawing behind the "Map Contest Map-ximum" logo on OP's picture is the map Neo Planet S !

Thanks a lot Boucot :3

A map with a backdoor entrance won 1st place? Color me surprised to say the least.

Hmm yea me too Hassan, although an argument can be made that the traditional main/nat setup is more flexible in the HotS era. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out and glad to see some unusual maps getting picked.

Judging had to do specifically with how the maps would play out. I'm guessing they thought some part of your map was abusable/imbalanced/boring?

Aww .

Although completely expected, to be honest .
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

Good job everyone and congratulations algue!

Opinions and speculation is one thing but actual playtesting by high level players is where it's at.
Can't wait for the tournament. Let the games begin!
