Recently made a 5v5 map that i want to test out with some people who can take the time to study the map a bit and play it a few times.
Looking to find which positions and strategies seem too powerful or if the map is fairly balanced.
Map is posted on sc2mapster as
http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/cosmic-contraction/images/1-cosmic-contraction/

PM me if interested, or try joining/creating the custom game under Melee/Other

5v5 will never be balanced no matter how hard you try, at least strategically.

well as long as the map is fun and there are a variety of options for the teams then im happy pretty much. And i've messed with the amount of minerals available to each player so i want to make sure the map positions are balanced basically...

Wow that's insane. I think it looks cool but what kind of cpu/gpu do you think people will need to run that smoothly?

Map seems pretty intense, it'd be nice to have an eagle eye view of the map, though.
If you say "plz" because it's shorter than "please," I'll say "no" because it's shorter than "yes."

I've seen people play UMS games with like 12 people in them already with no lag so its probably ok to play a 10 person melee, until 10 motherships come out at the same time lol....
