If you're still willing to post up problems with submitted maps, could you list some detractors for Red River Delta? I want to keep making any improvements to it I can.

Based on their earlier comments, I bet the close air compared to the ground paths was a detriment, and it lends itself to being split in half. Seems like it would be tough to ground attack across the middle.

A lot of neat stuff in it though! Non-standard orientation, and the SW gold (although I think it would be unused). The 3rd is interesting. I like the plateau's that partially overlook the bridge as well. I do think the destructible rocks on the islands are a bit of overkill though!
Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...

That's a cool map concept. The main thing that sends up red flag's is the island expo. I can tell that it has low amount of area to prevent cheeky turtle bs. But I've always been of the opinion that islands favor Terran too much due to the lack of a need to actually tech to anything to take the expo. In this case it seems like a free 3rd should the rocks get removed.

- High ground pillars. Seems like those could be abused as well.
-Those and that bridge choke with the watchtowers.

Both of those elements seem like they could cause a bit too much of a stand off. If one side tried to maneuver through the west side some well positioned troops near that other watch tower would make one side exceedingly hard to break. In other words in the current state that map looks exceedingly turtle friendly.

All in all it's a cool looking map and nice concepts but imo that island's and the way it's split is a major burr in my prostate.

As a note, we are changing the starting time by ONE HOUR ahead of where it is now, in order to not so directly conflict with the charity tournament starting 2 hours later.

This change is now reflected in the original post to state 10 a.m. PST / 1 p.m. EST / 7 p.m. CEST.

Awesome, can't wait to see how the community treats map making vs some of the less favored blizzard maps for tournament play. Hopefully we'll see one of these put to good use in sick, baller, nerd chilling games in IPL4!

After a long day at work & a terrible drive home (Finally got the first snow of the season and let me tell you what, my drive home took an extra 20 minutes and I saw about 8 cars that were off the road due to sliding) yet I check out TL and what do you know, my map Darkness Falls is in the top 5.

What a great way to end the day. ^_^

Congratulations to the other winners!

All the finalist maps are interesting and seem to be well put together. The pool also seems to be somewhat diverse, despite it being four 2 spawn maps and one 4 spawn map.
None of them look bad, so that is a plus

Some of the mapmakers have made decisions which I would probably not make, but that is as it should be

Also, I'd like some feedback on my two maps: Monsoon Valley and Concrete Dreams.

It's great to see IGN putting some real legs behind community maps. When is the last time a cash prize has been given to a tournament completely based off custom made maps?

Any chance the judges could give feedback to my maps as well? Niflheim Peaks, Naranjal and Shakuras Proving Grounds.

hu, Flop, what's wrong with you?





regarding the lineup of maps: some looks really fun and will certainly provide good games, but others have some really strange spots I would consider flawed.

Darkness Falls has two problems and it should not be in (imo): Flat choke between Main and Natural without a highround to defend the main / too many bases in very close distance that make it too easy to hold four bases, especially in cross position.

Zhakul'Das Rift has the same problem with many bases be controlled without any map control and few army movement.

I am sure there were better entries than these two ( no offense to the authors, you are in, congratulations!)

in general I am disappointed to see too many grey-blue-green maps. I think the matches will be great fun, but the mappool does not provide a lot of visual variety, which is a pity.

I really would love to get some pm or feedback in this thread to submitted my maps Cascade (MotM8 Finalist), Burning Altar (TL MC Finalist) and Stillwater Reach (possibly my best map overall). thx!
