Damn, Dash and Terminal is probably the only one I'll still be playing a few months from now even if it's not added to ladder. That is, if the lighting is toned down a little bit.

funny that terraform and winding pier fame were both inspired by the same somewhat obscure crux map

Congrats NegativeZero, really excited to see some games on Terraform.

What'd the pros dislike about Noah's Ark?

Which seems to have been inspired by an even more obscure IeZaeL map. I guess we know who the real winner is.

Gratz Negative! Terraform's a worthy winner for sure, I'm looking forward to seeing it in play. I'm also happy to see Bridgehead come in #2 -- I was hoping for it to clinch first prize. And thanks to the organizers -- this was a lot of fun.

Unfortunately the TLMC tagged one is still outdated, but you can play v1.4 that I uploaded on all servers -- that one fixes the ultra-bright lighting to kinda bright.
They're coming to get you, Barbara.

99% sure that they feared the middle path ecourages too strong early game aggression, especially since the thirds are kinda far.

Bridgehead was better in my opinion, but both are very well done

Congrats Negative, I've told you multiple times I think you are my favorite (aka the best) mapper. (Uvantak jelly)

I did hope Terraform won, but it is probably the most standard of the finalists, so it's no doubt the public & pros preferred it. I gotta say I'm a bit surprised with Ecosphere being in the top 3 but a cross only, 18 base, easy expansion pattern, 4p map, of course pros will love the shit out of it. =P

Again, congrats top 3! woot woot!


i love big maps too! and lotv is so fast paced economically wise!! we should have big maps like BW days

Well it makes sense I suppose.

I hope I'll be as much happilly surprised by Terraform as I've been disappointed by Echo

+ Show Spoiler +
My grumpy morning moment :

/rant on

Imho, by trying to a) be "not standard", b) influence balance or c) create a new meta, most mapmakers are forgetting what should be their first goal : make fun and strategically interesting maps. As a result, most of these maps are very rigid and all look the same ("wow uvantak won with slopes everywhere? lemme put slopes everywhere" / "wow algue got in SPL, GSL and SSL with a back door? lemme put backdoors everywhere" / "rocks? they want rocks? where is this random rocks generator button???") and ironically enough it's not even sure they are balanced in the end.

Terraform is a good example, it once had a gold base that could have been taken as a third or as a gangnam terran style we could have had a whacky unusual map, but under pressure of other map makers this gold base was moved to the most boring spot possible and will probably never be a key feature of this map.

Luckily enough, Terraform has some space for fun, esp is you like the sound of zerglings being toasted by colossi or tanks, but the other ones, omg! it's down the point you would wonder if some are actually playing the game at all. Noah's Ark? gimme a break, nobody in their right mind would enjoy playing on this

The ultimate fail is that by trying to be "non standard", they make all their maps end up look the same, by trying to influence balance, they force players to play the same way over and over and kill all possibility of balance shifting, by trying to change the meta, they make unplayable maps.

I hope that if there is ever a TLMC 7, fun will be the main goal again, there must be some mapmakers somewhere that still like to play this game...

Until then I will just be there, dreaming of King Sejong's Station's come back in the ladder

/rant off

Echosphere got robbed by backdoor haters.

Finally a win for NegativeZero though

I was about to write how that wouldnt work, but instead took an another look of the map and omg you are actually right. It would just make perfect sense.

I hope that means that next season we'll have something along the lines:
- Inferno pools
- Expedition lost
- Coda/Echo
+ Ganymede
+ Terraform
+ Ecosphere

And Noah's Ark got robbed.
