It got used in a handful of amateur tournaments since its 2nd place announcement, but that's all it had coming for it. It never made it to professional level if I recall, which was fine with me. I changed that map so much I think I actually did more harm than good when developing it. It should still be uploaded to battle.net as ESV Ravage I believe.

Thanks but I'm not that good of a map maker. To an average player I might be, but if you compare me to other mappers you'll laugh at how pathetic my designs really are. Ohana, in its time, was decently good in terms of aesthetics. It's not rocket science to create a jungle/nature scene

Nowadays, the maps I see being made are mind blowing to me that I don't think I could do as good, or better. I applaud the mappers who continue to stick through it thick and thin.

Wait...you made Ohana? WTF you are the best (I'm sorry if I'm dumb because I don't know this, I don't follow the map community that well)

Ironman also made Spring, which got used in the FRB Grand Tournament where bases had 6 mineral patches and 1 high yield gas. Fun times and a good map!

That's ok, it was 3 years ago and most people don't follow the map scene. I'm not surprised that anyone new within the last 1.5 years wouldn't know who I am. What very few people know is that Ohana was actually collaborated by 3 individual map makers, one being myself. I believe one of them was named Nullcurrent, and I can't remember the other guy. We were on a map team called TPW, the planetary workshop.

Hi guys, new guy in the house here!
I made my first Starcraft map for the TLMC5 but hadn't posted it here yet. I thought it was about time I'd put it out there.

So without further ado, I present to you 'Sandstone Mesa':

Map Size: 144x124

Players start in the top-right and bottom-left corners of the map. The player's natural is fairly big and has a backdoor that leads to a potential third or fourth. A series of chasms and ramps span across the entire map, splitting it in two. This forces players to carefully consider which routes they want to use for their attacks and which they should monitor for incoming attacks. The two fifth bases on the map are located at the end of the series of chasm and ramps that divide the map in two. Because these fifth bases are located on contested terrain, they will become increasingly important bases to secure and defend as the map gets mined out. Xel'naga watch towers can be used to gain vision of these bases as well vision of the outer four pathways to your opponent.

The map might not look too pretty as I haven't had too much time to learn the ins and outs of the editor yet. But I feel fairly confident in the way that the map plays. I have published it on battle.net under the name 'Sandstone Mesa TLMC5 Edition' on all servers except Southeast Asia, so you can give it a spin if you'd like.

I'd love to hear what you guys think of the map. The contest may be over but feedback is still appreciated.

hmm. the bases connected to the naturals are way too easy to take. Its cool that you are trying new things, but 1 ramp for a third is too little, especially if there's a path from the natural to it. You need to add another ramp to the base, and increase its size a bit.

Tho i do like the centers 2 narrow paths.
