You have to be aware that it's not as easy as you think. Blizzard controls the maps because playing those maps is where it counts, and you have to play those for points. It means players have to learn other maps when they will rarely play on them. And actually players will not know the special tricks on maps until they study it alot, so those maps need to be added to ladder so they start being used. | ||

Some tournaments are already incorporating custom maps so I don't really see the problem. | ||

Xel has a much too wide open natural that is way too far away from the ramp - ever tried defending there with spine crawlers against hellions or any sort of push? | ||

Makes sense to me. The changes wouldn't be too difficult. | ||

Tho Blizz-made SC2 maps are FAR better than BW maps, they're still pretty shitty... I don't think KeSPA would ever use any of these maps in their tournaments... =( | ||

I am pretty new to Starcraft 2, a mid to low level gold protoss player, and want to thank all of you on TeamLiquid because I've been reading this since I've gotten the game (about 3 weeks) and it has helped me out immensely. On topic, I have noticed as that some spawn positions are more difficult to wall off then others, but I had no idea that the map imbalances were as large as shown here. This seems like very sloppy map making and I believe what many have written that blizzard is not very good at making maps. If I can ask a little different question, many of you mentioned ICCUP maps. I was wondering since I have never played Starcraft 1, well, I have but I was like 10 years old and didnt understand a thing, what makes a good map, other then the obvious that all spawn locations are equal and without the major flaws shown here. Are there any of the 1v1 maps in the game that are "good" maps? Search iCCup in the custom game interface under map creator. ^_^ | ||
