EPTWorking at a University of Design and Arts I know how difficult it is to translate a specific quality into points. It was a good idea to take the points as a guideline and then discuss why some maps are good and important for the tournament. Counting points just does not work, when one tries to evaluate.

Thanks for participating in MotM #1! Here are your average scores from the judges in each category: Balance, Originality, Fun, and Aesthetics. 5 6 3 2 (rounded) For a total of 16. Thanks again! iGrok, dimfish, BoomStevo, prodiG, FlopTurnReaver After seeing the maps being submitted I didn't expect my map to score high. I did expect it score decently on balance and originality but I found it hard to expand on the aesthetics. Maybe I'll revamp it at a later point, but I'm going to start right away for February's map. | ||

 Actually while I'm here, here's a list of updates to the Tournament maps: Glacial Spike - texture tweaks, Cliff above third enlarged. Mirage - 6 and 12 bases changed to 6Golds. Decline - changed to disallow sieging of various gases. There may be a few more aesthetic changes coming, but these should be the only gameplay changes. | ||

Again, we used these scores just as rough guidelines, and all decisions were made in discussion. What you should take away from this: Make your maps more fun to play on, people! A great example of a fun map was Binary Rampage. I played a few games on this map with a buddy while drunk. Sooo much fun. | ||

The paths along the edge are the first available but each have 5 rows of LOS blocking plants. These can be avoided by controlling the watchtowers overlooking the paths. Currently available on the US server. This map looks pretty awesome. I also want to play both SC2 and Marble Madness on it. | ||
