I care less for the worst map ever tourney, will just mention I voted Daedalus which will probably be a contender for the title (I can see Secret Spring putting it in danger, but Daedalus is so bad this is stuff legends are made of).
Dasan Station is my pick for worst map but Secret Spring was also terrible. Moonlight Madness and Bridgehead are also serious contenders.
problem is that, if I'm not mistaken, both Moonlight Madness and Bridgehead didn't enter the worst map contest while Dasan Station even entered the best map contest (and actually got Xel'naga Caverns in the ro32 guaranteeing a terrible map in the ro16)

Oh I didn't see the nominated maps yet.
Incineration Zone was an absolutely terrible map though that is nominated.

I'm curious why Dasan?
It's a weird map but I don't remember it leading to especially bad games, even the opposite sometime. I'd say it's the second best "weird" map behind Habitation Station personally.

wasn't it like weird rush builds everygame because nobody wanted to play macro on it?
The only real game I remember on it was that one Scarlett vs Stats (I think?) game

Dasan had exactly 1 good tournament game on it in its thankfully limited time and that was Scarlett vs Stats. Most egregiously, every TvP was pylon rush from Protoss vs 1-base 1/1/1 from Terran.

It's the only good game on Dasan but despite it being a great game it's hard to call "real" because it started with a drone rush.

Well, I thought I was always voting for the best map, so I've tainted the results

Y'a kinda, but sometime the cheeses devolved into macro game that were pretty good, I remember a tvz in particular but I can't quite remember the players (I think special was in it?)
But more importantly the rushes were generally pretty imaginative and map specific, that's a big plus for me (The proxy gold base spine rush for example) and not just unbeatable ling flood or blink stalker rushes because of shitty base design. IDK I was always exited to have it played, although it depend what you're looking for in a Starcraft game I guess.
Also, I'm kind of amaze Central Protocol didn't made the worst maps list.

Central is probably spared a worse fate cause most people were spared from seeing/playing it more than a handful of times.

Hum, I've just gone back by curiosity and Central got 0 votes..... shouldn't it be on there?

is terminus omitted because of the amount of dead airspace or from size

For best maps I'm disappointed Catalyst is already out which would be a contender for me.
Other than that Daybreak, KSS and Abyssal Reef should be the favourites. I also really enjoyed Odyssey but apparently I was pretty alone with that.
and Port Aleksander was also really good.

Did you consider making a bracket for the tournament on LP? Would be great to get an overview of the votes that way.

already suggested that, would indeed be amazing

King Sejong > Scrap (lol)
Xel Naga Caverns > Dasan (close one, but XNC had some legendary games on it and it was pretty good at the time)
Tal Darim Altar > Nimbus (one of the first good macro maps, lots of good memories on it [TSL3], although it hads lots of issues)
NPS> Bel Shir Beach (the only thing I remember BelShir for is that it had a winter and summer version lol)
Howling Peak < Abyssal City (I kinda liked Abyssal)
Daedalus < Searing Crater (both of these are abysmal, but Deadalus takes the cake imo, the original version had an even bigger map IIRC lmao)
Slag Pits < Darkness Sanctuary (Slag Pits aka never 3rd base)
Turbo Cruise < Ruins of Seras (just for how OP SH nydus was on this map and I dont think Ruins of Seras was that bad, just a bit too big)
Dasan made it to top 32 because the other maps in the group were really weak (Para Site, Blistering Sands, Blood Boil, Korhal Compound.. I only voted Para Site because Serral won Blizzcon on it :D)
edit: feel like King Sejong will take it all the way
|
What comes to mind immediately for best map is: 1) Golden Wall, 2) Bel'shir Vestige, 3) King Sejong Station.
This is definitely a good discussion and I will want to dig deeper.

I just want Overgrowth to win it all.

Overgrowth and Vani are the goat maps
