Beuheuheuuuuu.... a bit more writeup please? I have no idea why these maps are good, why they were selected, how much better they are from the ladder maps, why I should feel pumped...
Honestly, only the winner seems interesting to me because it looks like BGH. But it's because you gave me no reason to like the others ><
I didnt see the retribution game, but the map seems complex and pretty 
The 2v2 map by monitor is especially unique because int he middle of the map, there are 2 layers of destructible rocks, and you have to destroy them in order to reach your teammate/other opponent since you and your teammate spawn vertically.
The other way to reach the other side is by nydus worm and air.
Winner? People love Hunters

I hope Breeze makes it into a lot of the map pools, ffa included. I was excited when Blizzard held a showmatch on Hunters during the Korean HotS launch event, but alas, the map didn't make it into any map pools afaik. I think Breeze might be a worthy spiritual successor.

It was a 25 minute game, so plenty of macro, but also lots of small and big engagements, it was pretty good
As for why you should be pumped, look at Blizzard's maps. And then back at these. And then back to Blizzard's again. Yay!

Breeze all day every day. GG!
|
Is there a link to the TL showmatches they did on these maps?

Semmo with the clean sweep of the TLMC 2 ! Congrats, I hope Breeze makes ladder.

|

|

I like breeze... feels a little Hunters-esque, doesn't it?
Yep, that's also the first thing I noticed when I looked at the map but honestly, this looks way better than big game hunters. More backdoor options and better positions on the naturals.

OMG I WAS JUST SAYING THAT is this not big game hunters? it TOTALLY is 100 percennt a slightly smooshed BGH
on a side note team sc2 doesnt need just maps to make it better (it needs maps) they imo need to fix the "everyone gets 200 supply" i feel sc2 team games are soooooooo fun but missing out

It may be a stupid question but do map designers start with hand made pencil + paper sketches when they are designing maps or do they just start with map editor or s.t.

Sometimes I do paper an pencil. I mean, if I'm sitting in class bored as hell, I might draw up some simple ideas like main-nat-3rd layouts. Though I never really finish an entire map on paper. Kinda hard to do without the copy past and distance judgement the editor provides. So mostly, I work in the editor alone. Though, every mapmaker is different.

I do a lot of pencil sketching but it's mostly to see if an idea will pan out, not to complete a design idea. It changes once you get in the editor and start blocking out real sizes and angles. But I will say the more you practice working between the two the better you get at using pencil accurately to plan/explore a map layout in a way you can actually build in the editor true to the original drawing.

Hoping that blizz adds the winners to ladder pool specially the winner before this. grats to the winners

I absolutely love Retribution. I sincerely hope they'll put it in the ladder pool, because I'd play the hell out of that map. <3 Huge congratz to the map maker!
