Ok basically I just wanted to show that not even BW was perfectly set with regards to maps. This was especially true in its earlier days (like we’re in for Sc2 right now) when Showdown was totally a legitimate pro map. Demon’s Forest was a real pro map as well, in 2008 no less. Though to be fair it only lasted 8 games. In short: Shitty maps happen.


Thing is, there were a few lame maps like that over the 10+ years of BW history, and now in SC2, where you'd think devs have all the experiences from BW, there are only a few GOOD maps in the cesspool of mediocre or even just plain terrible ones.

That said, nice write up =)

So many suggestions for maps but (unless I've missed it) nobody said Plasma?!

Anyways I was thinking of doing another one but then it wouldnt really have a point the second time. But I guess then I could make it in blogs, the forum where things dont need to have an actual point. :D

Actually I’m just joking, this map would be terrible in Sc2. I hope nobody ever does this one.


This is high level trolling, big props. <3

There is no reason why a BW map would make a good SC2 map, different units mean that what was once balanced might now be completely lopsided. Maps would have to be tested and adjusted where needed.


All I want is for blizz to stop putting 1 XN Tower right in the center of the map, it ruins TvT. Whomever controls it basically can't be moved, you don't even need vikings because the moment your opponent gets in range with their tanks, boom dead. Its stupid, the GSL realised this on XN Fortress which is why the tower blows up after 5 mins. It basically forces you to go around and base trade
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

Honestly I would probably quit if those maps became part of the ladder pool, especially the first two. I can't see how they would bring balance.

edit: Trolled? lol

I was like 'hmm this could be interesting' until I saw Demon's Forest. Maybe they could throw in Battle Royal for the kicks :DD

The amount of people that responded to this seriously really reveal what a teeming cesspit of stupid the TL forums have become.

@OP: Surprisingly good topic, and funny to boot. Good work.

Don't take it personally, but a lot of people here either suck at detecting sarcasm in epic proportions, or are the biggest inception-like trolls in a troll I've seen in a while...

The thing is that SC2 maps all have two gasses and not just one so that you can get tech faster than BW >:O


You dont get as much gas per trip in sc2 so I'm not sure if thats true. Shamefully enough I don't know how many you get per trip in sc2. TT

Pretty sure its 8 in BW though.


You get 4 gas per trip per geyser in sc2, so it's the same when both gases are taken. Difference is the extra 3 workers in sc2 for both gases


WHERE ARE THE DESTRUCTIBLE ROCKS!!!!
