That would be hilarious! Take the top 10 most unbalanced maps ever in Blizzard history and a $1000 prize pool and you'll get the best worst tournament ever :D

This map is great, but what the fuck mapmakers?

Another taldarim forced 4gate on an otherwise brilliant multi base map?

I loved that map looking at it, but the realization that it has no ramp is soul crushingly bad for no real reason. Double choke, cant forcefield, and even if you could the lack of lack of vision would let you break any robo play with warping past forcefields.

Good thing about non-Blizzard maps is that they can change it. There needs to be a ramp...it breaks PvP not to have one. If maps are discredited for being broken in non-mirror matchups (eg 75% TvZ), they should be discredited for major flaws in mirrors as well imo.

But it is a shame that every map must have a ramp for just one match-up when all the other ones work fine. Maybe they should look for a creative solution to the problem.

(Random crazy idea, destructible xelnaga tower nearby that blocks opponents warp ins around your base and blows up after a set time. Only spawns in pvp matchups)

The whole office is out for the holiday, we'll let you know early next week. =)

Edit: For now we're still considering all feedback from players, spectators, and mapmakers alike! Tell us your favorites, even!

Its a shame, but blizzard have shown over the course of the last year and a half that they have no idea how to rebalance 4gate. They increased research time, made units take less time to build from regular gateways, reversed the change for everything but sentries, lowered research time again, made immortals have 20% more range, changed ramp vision and probably other shit im forgetting, they wrote a post like they came up with this magical 4gate fix back before the 140-180sec nerf, and then had to undo it all on PTR because toss was 15nexusing every matchup and still holding everything thrown at them.


Without the ramp pvp is doomed, with it, it is often painful to watch and play because of coin flippyness between openings... People are innovating now (SaSe) but it is a very difficult matchup to work with, and without the ramp there is no hope.


To quote HuK, "You cant do anything on this fucking map" in a taldarim 4gate situation where he killed his opponent when he threw down a twilight council at like 8-9 minutes and got slightly disadvantaged in stalker count

It's really a shame how bad no ramp breaks PvP. I know I would LOVE to see more rampless main to natural chokes. Makes PvT MUCH more interesting early game imo as stalkers can harass walls quite well.

But at this point, it just screws PvP too bad T_T.

Does anyone know if any of the maps that did NOT make it into the map maker tournament but got some consideration ever got published for the public to play on? I would love to play on some new maps that nobody is familiar with.
