Metalopolis is of course a legendary map, but its also so basic...I think it was only loved because it was a non-catastrophic map at the time.I voted Redshift because I really liked the concept and played a lot of fun games on it (besidesmy losses to 2rax reaper, but Metalopolis seems even worse if that was a category :D). Metalopolis is gonna win for sure anyway^^
I voted Newkirk just for the Innovation - Taeja game while Ephemeron was just fine
Vaani is a great map, but Daybreak is an even greater one
I never really liked Echo and BelShir Vestige gave us some sick TvZs so I voted BelShir.
The WORST maps are kind of unremarkable this time, its pretty much up to personal taste in these ones anyway. The only one that stands out for me is Backwater Gulch with the awkward highground above EVERY SINGLE THIRD BASE. just wtf

For stuff like Backwater vs Fractured Glacier it really depends on how you weight things. Just based on the layout Fractured Glacier is obviously the worse map of the two. However given that it saw no play it's just vacuously bad. Whereas Backwater is aggressively a bad map since it tortured us with awful awful games, which is why I'm voting for it.

M13: Overgrowth easily, although I think Golden Wall is a good map, maybe one day if more and more great games get played on it, it'll become a contender in Greatest Map of All Time II M14: Coda for me M15: I love Abyssal Reef so easy choice M16: Whirlwind easily for me

Incinaration zone is pulling an impressive paradox of being both stupidly small and also having over half the bases feel totally useless.

Overgrowth - Golden Wall is heartbreaking. I'm really fond of Golden Wall and I consider it the best map of recent years. But Overgrowth is too much of a juggernaut in map making history to not vote for it. Iron Fortress - Coda and Abyssal Reef - Polar Night are close, those maps are all in the "good but not oustanding" category imo. Went for Coda and Polar Night. On the contrary, Whirlwind is outstanding and KFI is terrible. So Whirlwind by a huge margin.
As usual I don't have much to say about the worst maps contest ; I'll just mention I was surprised to see Korhal Compound vs Invader there, those maps were ok at least and there were faaar worst maps that could have entered. I liked Korhal Compound a bit when it was on ladder so I voted Invader.

I like how your reasoning is almost identical to mine on each of these votes. Saves me the trouble of writing it up myself!

Even though Golden Wall is one of the best maps i've ever made, i can't see it beating a titan like Overgrowth. But hey, it will have at least one vote!

I voted Golden Wall as well. Every time I see it I like it a bit more. It's original and really offers a lot of different viable strategies and game types. IMO it's already begun to live up to its potential. I hope it's a close vote in the end!
