Team Liquid Map Contest 8 Map Picks
First off, we wanted to thank everybody who participated in the map contest, as well as Team Liquid for organizing and hosting it. There were lots of great submissions this time around and its always tough to narrow it down, but so far we are leaning towards using the following maps in the upcoming Ladder season:
• Ascension to Aiur by SidianTheBard (Macro Category)
• Blood Boil by Avex (Resource Category)
• Sequencer by NegativeZero (New Category)
• Defender’s Landing by YoungRustler (Rush Category)
Map Cuts
Of course we will need to make some room for the new maps, so we think removing some of the older maps would be ideal:
• Newkirk Precinct TE
• Bel’Shir Vestige LE
• Cactus Valley LE
• Honorgrounds LE
As always, let us know what you think about either the map picks or map cuts. https://us.battle.net/forums/en/sc2/topic/20753578109#1

What is Defender's Landing? The map submitted by YoungRustler wasn't this one.
Considering they're adding a rush map i'd rather remove paladino, but otherwise i'm liking this
Now on to the comments complaining about those maps not being top 4 in the contest.
|
Sequencer actually made it!
|
fuck yea sequencer, good stuff
|
Fuck Paladino get rid of that from the map pool instead of honourgrounds such a horrible map.
|
Please don't take Bel'shir Vestige from me 
Glad Sequencer made it and even Blood Boil, but what about Paradise Lost?
|
blizzard take always the worst maps out of the contests because they like to have from each category one.
Why dont have all macro maps except 1-2. This 1-2 maps can be special categories...
but yea.. all the time the same, there is no hope lol
|
For god's sake why would you keep Paladino for another season? Are they never going to learn?
|
Cool. Would've liked to see Hunger Game in there :p

No blizzard likes to be the special flake, but special flakes often fail.
|
please remove paladino instead of newkirk
|
So even Blizzard decided that the Rush finalists were so bad that they chose another map. Fair enough. I don't think that Defender's Landing is a good map tbf, but it's better than the finalists.
Not a fan of Blood Boil (Keres Passage and Windwaker are both better resource maps, and better maps), or of keeping Paladino and Proxima in the pool.

Blood Boil image is not correct.
This is the correct Blood Boil (though missing a XnWT)

get rid of Palamemo. NOW.
|
Man I was so looking forward to playing on Hwangsan...
|
What kind of mess is that? Do they even check what they post? 2 rush maps in the pool? Both DISGUSTINGLY BAD. Abyssal reef still in the pool w/o lighting fix? I won't even waste my time on further elabarotion. My grandma would do a better job at arranging the mappool. And we are talking about a multi-billion company here.

S E Q U E N C E R
blood boil needs a retexture before ladder imho, the all white ground is blurry on low
bummed out about no Asteroid Barricare/Hwangsan, 2 v solid standard maps
very glad that Honorgrounds, Cactus and Bel'shir are gone tho. Terrible maps.
|
Wish they'd replace blood boil or defender's landing with windwaker/Hwangsan. Than the mappool would be perfect.

While I agree that Paladino Terminal is awful and should be gone... have you actually taken a look at Defender's Landing layout at all? It's pretty much a macro map outside of having a short rush distance natural to natural. The only thing it does is it makes for rushes to be able to succeed slightly more, without looking as imbalanced or wrong as Paladino does. FFS at least give it a chance.
|
I fucking knew Sequencer would make it. The map is too beautiful not to. Screams StarCraft.
What the hell is that last map though? Please replace with a proper entry...
