HotS oriented maps though, hmm, I guess it is too early to know what makes a good LotV map anyhow. | ||

The money isn't huge but it doesn't have to be, a starving artist isn't too tough to motivate, and the mappers are a core to what we have going on as we know blizz maps are either awful or bland and usually nowhere between. and i like the idea of growing partnerships between content creators and customizable games/engines | ||

i think you can assume if a map ends up being so good that it sticks around or goes into the beta, blizzard can lotv it. I think plenty of HotS maps will still be viable to play on in LotV, just like some Wings maps were fine in HotS. Of course we'll see, but I don't think anything being added is as map-influencing as, say, sentries were in Wings or Swarm Hosts in HotS. The major change is the econ, but imo 6 bases per side / 12 bases total is still ok as long as not too many of those bases are difficult, especially the 3rds and 4ths. Anyway this is getting off-topic since the contest basically says to ignore LotV.. so I'll just say - cool! Hope we have lots of awesome maps (especially with 3 entries per contestant we should see a little more experimentation) and I'm glad Blizz seems to be finally (somewhat) taking mapmaking seriously | ||

We have some very competent map-makers in the community and I suspect that this will allow the blizzard in-house mapmakers to spend more time on other aspects of the game. And I think this prize pool is cheaper than paying blizzard employees to do the work, AND the community will do the quality check for them. | ||
