Personally, I think Pandora was the best Avex map, but Backwater and Blackpink are cool too. Some other maps I was excited about were Red Dragon, Ametrin and, especially, Blackwood Timbers. I actually think Blackwood Timbers may have been my favorite overall, but I'm usually a big fan of the Sidian maps, gotta say.

after playing a bit on them and watching some tournament games I have to say that God's Garden, Defenders Resort, Catalyst and Acid Plant are by far my favorite maps and far ahead of the competition. Hope these 4 make ladder.

Defender's Resort [image loading][image loading][image loading][image loading][image loading]
This map has a very unique 1-2-3-4 choice, definitely uncomfortably violent in the opening stages but definitely better than Paladino Terminal and Defender's Landing. 3rd base is a bit nasty to secure. Biggest drawback is too tight ramps on this map in general. Midfield is also kinda new and weird, so until more evidence comes along this one is a solid 3.5 with some fresh stuff.

Thanks for the feedback, I too have noticed most games the struggle is around the third bases and I have yet to see a game go past securing the 3rd and going onto 4th base and more. I was suggested to give zerg an area where they can place an overlord to have an area so they can watch what comes out of the natural. That change will go through and I will continue to watch how the map is played. Thanks again for the feedback and glad you enjoy the map!

Some pretty maps, specialy IeZaeL's.

Aside from some spots where terrans can abuse tanks, i like the macro and standard maps. I'm not a fan of rush and crazy maps tho.

Blackwood Timbers was (one of) my favorite(s) as well and I'm sad it didn't make it. Perfect map to replace Abyssal.

Battle on the boardwalk looks amazing but the layout around the natural seems hell for PvZ (probably also ZvZ).

Sent my iterations for Blackpink and Backwater. Backwater recieved basically the most minimal changes, I don't think there were any glaring issues.

Blackpink had a few more changes:

Main adjusted, mineral line tucked horizontally by one cell relative to their spawn. Weird square on the side removed.
Re-designed triangular third base, removed pillar and opened the area up, moved the 'behind' ramp to be more direct, rocks added to the most direct path's ramp. Mineral line made diagonal Rock tower removed.
Vertical third rock tower removed.
Many of the main pathways have been expanded and widened for more open engagements.
Many of the lit-up decals and lights were toned back a little.
