How many people play them? I don't like the ladder maps but love the iCCup maps; so how many people actually play them?
|
I wish I could play them outside of practice sessions. Sadly, with the popularity system, 90% of custom games are on LT.
|
Despite the lack of content, the results actually really interest me. Yes!!! And, yes, it is a problem that the only way to play them is unranked and a pain...
|
I don't mind them unranked. I can always get games with my friends but I wanted to know if I culd load it up and play with someone. They just don't appear on the custom maps list with more than 10 games an hour or something like that.

I seriously love the ICCUP maps, wish they were on ladder /:

Support them here if you want them in ladder and such. There is only so long Blizz can ignore that thread....

I don't play them but I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish I had to play them for tournaments or ladder etc. I love these maps but for now its just not important to practice them.
|
I don't want to sound harsh, but i'm just wondeing what is the point of the iccup maps? I havent yet seen any tournament with these maps ( if there was any, i'm sorry). Curently it gives you no benefits playing these maps ( except having a fun custom game) and mastering them. If you are an average sc player like me , it's curently bether to practice on lader maps to increase your skills.

I would only play on iCCup maps if I could, ladder maps are such bitches =/

Presumably they will get much more usage later on. The iccup team has already expressed that they have big things in the making for the future.

Why would blizzard allow integration of maps made by people who *essentially* allowed loads of people to pirate the multiplayer portion of brood war?
|
I think some of them should become ladder maps, then I would for sure play them more and enjoy them.

Let's talk about maps, baby. Let's talk about you and me. Let's talk about maps.

You could also view it as the people that are the reason competitive BW existed outside of Korea lived on? Or the people who stepped in when they abandoned their own ladder, and refused to stop hacking/dropping/bm/etc?
Also in all reality iCCup.com and iCCup TV are two totally separate entities, there is very little iCCup.com influence in iCCup TV and vice versa.

Its like, we said "we want iccup maps, they are more macro based" and then blizz said "Naw, we dont want macro maps on ladder"

Never on BNET forums so I never knew about that thread, just contributed to it though, hopefully it gets noticed, or more likely, no longer is ignored

I think thats a little unfair, its not that they dont want macro maps, they just dont want purely macro maps. They want varied play, aggressive, technical, macro etc.
I mean, I think metropolis is pretty macro right?

I disagree, I think for an average sc player like you and me it doesn't matter if we play Blizzard maps or iCCup maps or whatever, as long as the maps are fairly standard (nothing too crazy like 14 gold mineral patches in your main or big racial imbalance). It's good practice either way.
But pro gamers obviously want to play on the maps that are used in the tournaments so they can figure out all the ways to abuse the maps 
I try to play on iCCup maps as much as possible, I can't stand those Blizzard maps anymore. Not only because most of them suck, but also because I played them since beta and it just gets boring. Don't have any friend who is my skill level tho, so my games on iCCup maps generally suck lol

Destination is trash for SCII, and did not transition well. There are much better maps then that. Fighting Spirit is good but encourages a bit too much turtling.

They said custom maps are "too complicated" and they wanted easy maps only. Whatever that means...
