Namaste and Shive were so close, votede for both of them :/. I did not vote for new Gettysburg because of the 2 islands in the middle were just too much, but Blizzard said that the map was already changed for the ladder and those bases are no longer islands. I would've voted for New Gettysburg too if I had know about that change, well deserved first place! | ||

Having voted for all of AVEX's maps, Flame Juggler and Aiur Plateau... I'm disappointed on how little my voting influenced anything. Oh well, guess I'll have another map to veto coming next season with New Gettysburg. At least Gojira made it to fifth, I suppose. | ||

Why does the most boring, most standard map get first place? Remove the islands, and it's the most boring map in the pool. Not to mention Blizzard's version is modified so that it only has two islands. Seriously people? | ||

The TLMC proved it was anything but boring. The tournament won it for the map. | ||

That said I think the map is solid and inoffensive. I have no major qualms with it. Although I do think the expansions and some of the terrain features could have been much more interesting without making things imbalanced. | ||

I watched the whole tournament, and I still stand by my opinion that the map was boring! (Partly as Fatam said, but also because split map late game is not that interesting to me). The only interesting feature are the islands. The race best equipped to take advantage of them (as we saw IN the tournament) is Terran (Toss and Zerg can too, is true). Now two of the islands have been removed and the map looks even more like a (better) version of Newkirk Precinct. I just feel that there are a few maps more deserving of the #1 spot. This map is too big. It's going to lead to split map late game more often than not. I'm of the opinion that you can build a macro map that encourages a lot of aggression without acquiescing quietly to a split map T3 turtle-fest. Regardless, props to ALL the mapmakers who submitted. You guys continually impress me with how gosu you are at making maps every time around. Seriously, map making is the most underappreciated part of SC. You guys killed it. Hoping for an incredible map pool next season  . >> NegativeZero, Blizzard has confirmed that the PL version of Gettysburg will end up being the ladder version, thus my prior statements. See the latest community feedback update. Also just wanted to say that I am really looking forward to Apoth in the ladder next season, and that IMHO you have the strongest handle on proper map proportions. | ||

That map actually looks quite good. Although it looks like Ulrena, it's a wider map, so the air rush distance isn't super short. | ||

Great players can make the best of any terribly designed thing in any game, and they do because they love the game overall, but that doesn't make it a good thing. edit: sort of back on-topic: I am also sad that Shiva + Korhal didn't place. I also liked Paladino. Although maybe even more than those I would have liked to see more action on Dasan now that is has been revamped. Looks like it has potential. So there isn't skill in poker, just bad beats? (Imo some rng is quite healthy) | ||
