It was more like Secret Spring's middle. i would really like to see how such a middle area would work on a properly made map. Secret Spring would be as atrocious even if the middle was totally open.

I'm equally invested in that travesty winning its category as I am in CK. | ||

As a lot of you, I am surprised that Golden Wall made it this far and I am surprised that it got beaten by Daybreak but not Whirlwind. Though my favourite map is KSS. That was the map that Salvation (Forte) was a B-teamer playing TvT vs Cure in his first prime. Forte vs Cure used every unit and nearly every upgrade. It was amazing. KSS was also the map where Myungsik got played vs Zerg, his most feared matchup. Because he felt weak vs Zerg, he cheesed. Blink stalker vs roach/hydra/spine/queen. It was later disclosed that Myungsik's best mu was PvZ because of his fear. He prepared rigorously. That map had so many great games, with some lowly good games and the odd blink PvT bad game. | ||

The original assymetry looks a lot more interesting, but I suppose the small middle path might have been problematic if I'm following you correctly? | ||

Much love to the map makers too who make this all possible and go under the radar doing their thing! Was interesting hearing some of your insights in this thread | ||

Cloud Kingdom!! Btw, one thing I noticed is that the map discussions were great and it certainly influenced voting. For instance, I didn't jump on the Golden Wall ticket until passionate arguments from it's fans. And it was most certainly interesting that an anti-GW group certain jumped up after GW eliminated some fan favourites. Hopefully, in the future, we will have Greatest Map of All Time II! If it ever occurs, I would propose multiple group stages where top 2-3 advances. This allows great maps to avoid groups of death and gives more ability for debates to influence map progress. Maybe only elimination stages when it hits ro8 or something. | ||

Or were at times where either via game understanding or balance issues not being as bad, where matchups were in a great, entertaining state. Whirlwind, which was indisputably a great map anyway had a lot of classic TvZ encounters on it especially, but TvZ was in a pretty sweet Goldilocks zone. I wonder how many maps could have potentially been great but had the misfortune to launch into despised metas? | ||
