Rockslide for me. Though Wrong Place has quite some potential as well.
(other ones too, but those two are the most extraordinary ones)

My thoughts on each map:

Emerald Plaza: Interesting design. My only concern is that the center and the pathways leading into it (which are extremely important) are too narrow. (I voted this one)
Bridgehead: A lot of the ramps seem weird or out of place. The center, which is sort of really important, has only narrow chokes leading into it. The main base feels really small, and if it isn't, it's quite difficult to sim-city in it. The backdoor to the main makes it even more vulnerable than it already would be due to its positioning, meaning it will be difficult to ever hold four bases.
Rockslide: You can effectively 3-base turtle with very easy high-ground positioning and not be attackable by ground due to the rock towers until you decide you want to push out. This seems intentional, but I don't like it. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly special about the map.
Wrong Place: There will never be an open place to have a late-game engagement, but the map dynamics seem to allow for that. Requires additional testing.
Roadkill: Remove the gold minerals and you have a (fairly boring) standard 4p reflectional map.
Sputnik: It's hard to pin down what I like/dislike about this map. It seems like daybreak with more circle syndrome.

These maps ... are too good. If you showed me Dreamhack winter's map pool and it was these maps, I would be super interested.

A vote for Emerald Plaza is a vote for VICTORY

I agree here. It would be so awesome and well deserved to have some of these maps played in pro tournaments...
As for the vote I can't decide between Emerald and Bridgehead TT I think I'll wait a bit

Sputnik seems like the only plausible ladder map. The others have tricky thirds and too many weird rock placements.

Sputnik also has an amazing color set, with its awesome name =P
terrible, terrible, damage

I actually spent a lot of time thinking about this one.
There are a lot of intuitive designs, but i went for the boring, beautiful sputnik

See, most people would opt for a safe choice in Sputnik which looks like a 2011 map. Meanwhile much awesome and innovative maps like Bridgehead (which gets my vote), Roadkill or Wrong Place wont be likely to win

I like a lot of these, but I had to go with Bridgehead.

I do love the color scheme of Sputnik, though!

All these maps with the difficult-to-take third bases. ME LIKE!

Voted for Rockslide.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.
