Then Timberwolf get's a lot of hate but I find it to be one of the most visually appealing. There's a safer third and a secret third. With the safer third as an attacker you'd still be able to threaten the nat and 3rd at the same time by land, and the main by air. There are multiple pathways to attack and the gold bases in the middle can keep the action near the middle with plenty of space on the outsides. | ||

Slightly different name since I accidentally set it to private and the editor won't let me change that for some reason. It's Adun's Shrine - [TLMC 5] now. | ||

Congrats Uvantak and Iezael, you've won yet again. I 100% totally agree with this unfortunately :/ | ||

Congrats Uvantak and Iezael, you've won yet again. I'd love to hear it, but to say it upfront, in my opinion the chosen maps are very good. There were also lots of other good maps but I think it comes down to personal preferences of the jury and aesthetics. The one thing I would say is that despite Maps which ... encourage the meta-game to develop in interesting ways will most likely score well. A fantastic example of this is the TLMC3 map Habitation Station whose innovative use of gold mineral patches created a unique dynamic on the map... none of those has made it through, except possibly for Emerald Plaza. Anyways, Cactus Valley is the favorite because it is the only 4player map on the list. | ||

Decent's not enough for me, and the 2p ban is no longer an excuse. Try this list on for size: Trapped Under Ice Apotheosis Monterey Evergreen Terrace Daydreams Neo Emerald Plaza Korhal Killzone And for bonus bias points: Sol Dios Demon's Claw All of which imo exhibit a level of concept and polish that is largely missing from the real finalists. I feel any reason those maps got passed over wasn't something a minor adjustment couldn't fix, but the judges opted for the safer alternatives. The word of pro players is not law, bear in mind, there is some pushing that needs to be done, but it's not to be seen here. | ||

I think the map has the greatest potential. Who are you responding to? The map has made it to the final list and you can give it your vote if you like it.  Personally I fear it is a smaller 2p version of Deadwing. Way too many easy bases, Swarm Host, Mech and Protoss turtlefest galore. Very hard for Zerg against Protoss, with no way to deny or attack a third base so you have to be incredibly greedy and insta-tech into your only lategame option, while Protoss gets a short rushdistance for 2-3base pushes on top of the free third. | ||

I played on the map, and I can see this happening. The third base really isn't too hard to get, and the 4th is pretty easy as well, although not as easy as deadwing. I still like the map though. I want to bring out the third of adun. Isn't that cliff susceptible to tempests? I haven't tested seige tanks though. | ||
