Does iCCup have a league on BNET that uses these maps that I'm unaware of? The search function has given me nothing but soot. I don't think I'm alone in this either... It'd be really really cool to see these maps catch on into a competitive scene, and to be honest I can't wait til the day that Blizz starts holding Map Making Competitions where they select the winners to be official Ladder maps. (If that ever happens...) | ||

That's kind of what I'm getting at, like an official iCCup League for SC2 that happens regularily. | ||

And why the heck are those maps so damn dark anyways? They are just poorly made imo. The problem behind your feelings in my opinion is the fact that a lot of the more popular iccup maps are remakes of the popular or good bw maps. Unfortunately the problem is that these maps were not designed with the changes that occured with sc2 in mind when they converted them to sc2. Thats the problem imo is some of the maps don't really work well with the units. Some of them have too many cliffs and the collossus does too well on them as do reapers. Units like siege tanks dont take too much advantage of anything at all since siege tanks also existed in sc1. | ||

Yes thats exactly what I wanted to say, thank you very much  And some of the not-ex-bw-maps are just way too dark, you cant even see on what ground you are, without having a unit right there. | ||

Fighting Spirit is pretty awesomely balanced, but Python is a disaster in SC2. With SC2's AI, zerg gets a huge concave very easily and can melt just about anything in a wide open Python-like map. | ||
