Fixing the Map Situation: Bring in Old BW Maps - Page 4

There’s not much room to place destructible rocks. I suppose some floating rocks could be put up to inhibit air movement.

I heartily approve of this proposed "floating rock" technology.

As I have mentioned a few times already, there should be a map making tournament. I laid out the format a few times already, but here it goes again, with a few refinements:

• recurring complete online tournament over 2 weeks, community driven (only tl and reddit have this kind of community atm I think)
  
• should probably on NA, since that is only server all regions can play on
  
• Map makers register and upload their maps on the site and NA server, with descriptions etc.
  
• Only maps not chosen for any major tournament yet are allowed.
  
• Players apply, 8 are chosen, 2 of each race
  
• first 3 days is players voting on registered maps with a voting point pool
  
• Top 3 voted maps are chosen for tournament, getting 1st getting $100, 2nd getting $75 33rd getting $50
  
• players play round robin bo3s with the 3 maps in the next 10 days at their own leisure, each win getting them $10 or something like that
  
• players uploading replays, and if they stream, links of the videos, any commentator can make casts as long as they provide links too
  
• Last two days is community voting on the games, bets game gets $100 for both players and map maker
  
• top maps might be adopted for other tournaments, if there is a partnership with a big tournament organizer
  

Each player has 21 games, overall it's 84 games.

With the above mentioned price distribution the price pool needed would be $1365, and a plyer who wins all his games and gets the bets game bonus can get $310. Or is you got a lot of money, make everything x10 and you are still well below the $5000 blizzard restriction.

The one best suited to pull this off is TL, because they can even opt to use those maps in TL opens or TSLs, and also have the community and website staff to hold such a tournament.
