LOL one of the maps chosen as a finalist is actually bugged and unpathable on 1 ramp
A fixed map file was provided in the meantime. It is a pretty stupid mistake, but something that can happen even late in the process of making and testing a map. A bug from copy&paste terrain. I am very sorry that this happened, but it did not change the outcome of the game soI hope this is not so bad.

I'm just disappointed that mistakes like this surface only after the maps are supposedly tested...

are you surprised when judges get less than 24 hours to sift through all entries?

Unfortunately judges only had like 48 hours to narrow down over a hundred submissions, so nowhere near enough time to test all of the maps for stuff like this

The time given to the judges for this TLMC was a joke obviously.

Something to look to changing next time I guess. :O

New Rule: You may use permanent neutral abilities onto all maps such as Force Field or Blinding Cloud. However, note that if these features cause performance issues on lower end computers, these maps may be edited or not considered for ladder.
Those force fields are bizarre and idiotic. Adds confusion, and no up side.
All of these "permanent neutral abilities" should be removed.

They were kinda hilarious in Brood War though - like the permanent Disruption Webs on that one Gem League map.

there just is a chance for small mistakes to go unnoticed when one has to finish a map in very little time. We all knew that a TLMC would take place soonish, but it is not like everyone has a good number of significant and specific maps sitting around and waiting for a contest.
as i have tried to explain such a ramp-bug can happen when you copy&paste terrain so it just can happen even late in the design and testing process.

i do not know about the planing process and who decides on the time between submission deadline and tournaments, but i find it difficult to blame organizers, judges or map makers. everyone involved works hard to provide interesting content.

Why the judges had so little time to look at the maps is beyond me. I can clearly see, based on the submissions, that simply the clean, high quality maps were chosen first. The fact a ramp bug existed showed they did little to no actual testing in the game, thus it was rushed.
I know they probably tried doing all of this diligently. But the scheduling in general was just abhorrent.
