coda and echo are the two I'd be least likely to veto (just based on the natural having a ramp).
i find the aesthetics of ganymade the most pleasing :D

The overview for Cactus Valley (RE) does no justice! Have some closer looks here. (5 images) It contains deadly cacti in bloom!

Or even better, a video preview I made of it!

That raises the competition. Who else is willing to make a video for a vote?

Holy shit Uvantak's maps are so esthetically pleasing. I hope it won't effect my vote but it probably will.

Cactus is probably the best actual map (in terms of competitive play), but Echo is a bit more original, so I gave it to Echo. I'd take either over some of the current Blizzard maps, but none are super impressive.

Still some very cool maps!!

Wow, I'm shocked by most of these.

Cactus Valley ofc makes its appearance. #1 easily for me with Neo Emerald Plaza being behind it in second.

I had forgotten about Timberwolf. That's another great one.

The rest are rather surprising finalist.

No Hyperlink? No Sanctuary? No Samarra Mines? wut

Quite difficult if you just see the maps and don't play all of them for some time (not possible in 3 days...).
Also I usually ignoring "aesthetics" if the idea is good! So nothing out of the question!

Like your other stolen maps and your other stolen aesthetics? Oh, like the stolen tileset you used for Ganymede! <3

That's low man, that hit really low.

I really like these maps. It's so hard to choose a favorite, not only in aesthetics, but in design. What this contest is really doing for me is highlighting how terrible the current ladder map pool is. I always hear people talk about how bad it is, but as I am not a map editor I can't really tell. These are much much better.

great maps, especially emerald plaza and timberwolf are awesome. really hope they make it into ladder.
It's a shame we have maps like secret spring in our mappool when we have a community that can create such awesome maps.

Pretty impresive for Kantuva to have both his maps on two consecutive finals. I like the maps, but i also like the cactus one, hmmm.

Cactus Valley, really? I mean the old version with the blocked-off middle was kind of cool, but now it's just like Whirlwind. Not that Whirlwind is a bad map, but I don't see how Cactus Valley improves on the layout in any way.

I think I'll have to go with Echo for my pick, although I don't feel it's on the same level as some other Uvantak maps I've seen.
