Heres to Sc2 mapping getting more pro! Oh and if you ever interview them, plz ask them about what their thoughts on custom netural things are (Destructable rocks /w modded hp, dummy units that slow nearby units, destructable xel naga towers, etc) Oh and about new tilesets. With Sc2's tileset system, I WANT ART! | ||

LSPrime and JackyPrime actually got paid a little for their efforts, as they said in this interview. I just hope more foreign tournaments take the leap and introduce new maps. I was a bit dissapointed that TSL3 just copied the GSL map pool, when they have the best map makers in the world posting right here on TL.net. | ||

Still, a great interview, always nice to hear about the guys behind the games. This is a tough question, and I left it out: it could be an entire interview/debate on its own. What are you looking for? A list of elements that you should never use, like cliffs behind the nat (Lost Temple)? Or a list of musts for every map (8 min, 2 gas main)? There are elements that seem to favor one race or one play style, and a map is really an interplay between lots of these elements. The map community is exploring lots of different stuff, seeing what new (and old broken stuff) might be able to work. And at the same time the players are evolving the game as well. It's much easier and more focused to take a particular map and ask if its balanced, or a particular common feature that is sort of controversial (like an in-base main) and discuss it's merits in a vacuum. So I asked plenty of questions like that. | ||

I think bibimbap is the more common translation here. The "Dol Sot" version is better. It's the one in the heated stone pot. | ||

dimfish, by Orange County you mean Florida or Southern California? If the latter I might be able to direct you :D (Reminds me that I am super duper behind on the wiki D: ) | ||

I think I've seen something served in a stone bowl at a Korean restaurant before, never knew what that was. | ||

Destructible Rocks were the best thing they could do to prevent mass expanding(like 14hatch-14hatch-14pool). Hopefully this "standardizing" mentality will change over time. You can't blame the head of the balance team for trying to make a map imbalanced? When has mass expanding ever been a problem? If zerg 14 hatch 14 hatch 14 pool, you punish them. I guess I'm just missing your logic. | ||
