Teamliquid Map Contest #10 Final Results

After months of design, playtesting, and iteration the results are in. You have decided our TLMC10 winners!

All sixteen finalists will receive at least $100 by default for placing in the top 16. All finalists will also receive a custom community commander portrait if they do not yet have one. In addition, the authors of the top five maps will receive the following prizes, all provided by Blizzard.

First - $500
Second - $250
Third - $125
Fourth - $75
Fifth - $50


Winners


FIFTH PLACE
FRACTURE | Avex

"Fracture takes place in a cold and biting environment, not only aesthetically but ingame as well. The thirds are relatively normally spaced but might feel a little far due to the straight line that is the attack path between the two bases. The map has a low amount of bases, and is more narrow than macro maps as more of a nod to the medium maps of Heart of the Swarm. Main distance remains the standard to most maps to keep the earlygame of Legacy relatively untouched."

Avex is one of TLMC's most prolific mapmakers, having made ladder maps such as Blood Boil, Odyssey, and most recently Backwater and Blackpink. Avex will receive $50 for his fifth place finish, as well as an additional $300 for his three finalist placements.

FOURTH PLACE
DREAMCATCHER | Timmay
"Dreamcatcher has a relatively short rush distance, but players may use the collapsible rocks to divert the main attack path. With a rare type of symmetry and a reasonable size, Dreamcatcher would be an interesting addition to ladder in the age of giant macro maps."

Timmay is best known for his extremely popular map Catellena, although he has been entering high-quality maps to TLMC for years. Timmay will earn $75 for his fourth place finish in addition to taking home $100 for reaching the finalists list.

THIRD PLACE
LOST AND FOUND | Zweck
"The only issue this map had was the lighting. It made the map look cool and unique, but also changed colors that probably should stay the same, such as the colors of health bars. There lighting was therefore changed back to normal, and the texturing was made unique in return in order to still have a fresh looking map.

The rest of the map layout was kinda flawless in the first place; therefore, no changes were necessary.
"

Lost and Found caps Zweck's impressive list of maps for a first-time finalist, standing alongside Para Site and System Shock. He'll take home $425 in total for his third place finish.

SECOND PLACE
BLUESHIFT | NegativeZero

"This map merges the overall geometry of Catalyst with the aggressive central valley of Frozen Temple, with the addition of 4 large rocks that can significantly open up the main attack lanes later in the game."

NegativeZero is most known for creating TLMC6 winner Terraform, TLMC7 2nd place finisher Apotheosis, TLMC8 5th place finisher Sequencer, and TLMC9 2nd place finisher Catalyst. All four have been prominent ladder maps and we look forward to Blueshift possibly being one as well. NegativeZero will take home $250 for this second place finish in addition to $300 for making three finalist maps, the other two being Backpfeifengsicht and Digital Frontier.

FIRST PLACE
16-BIT | themusic246

"16-Bit is a retro red vs. blue digital landscape that has a few unique components differing from traditional macro maps. A pocket natural and destructible rocks at your forward natural allow for both aggressive and conservative play styles and ways to counter both. There are multiple attack paths and different expansion patterns. Give this a vote if you like macro maps that can play out differently every time."

On his first finalist appearance, themusic246 has achieved a TLMC victory with his lone finalist map 16-bit. This shocking debut, however, will not come as a surprise to followers of the Arcade community. themusic246 actually already won the Blizzard Arcade RTC contest. Furthermore, he is the developer of Zealot Hockey, Star Party, Monobattle Map Rotation and more.


See you next season!

And thus concludes our first decade of TLMCs. We want sincerely thank everyone who's taken part thus far in this contest and all the ones before it. After all, working on getting these maps into the ladder rotation is a full community effort!

Usually I can mostly expect the ordering of the top 16, but not this time. In particular Dreamcatcher's fourth place is a huge surprise to me. And backfeifengesicht actually got 6th...

Congratz to all the finalists.

Not going to lie, the final results seem a bit absurd to me :D Some really good maps in bottom 5-6 and maps like Backpfeifen getting 6th & Dreamcatfcher 4th is imo very surprising

Grats to the winner, i really thought blueshift was a level above the others so a surprise to see it topped! Until next time

Other than the top few spots, this one was really close. The difference in points between 3rd and 4th was greater than the difference between 4th and 13th, for example.

Like everyone else here, very surprising results.

Personally I'm a little sad not to see Kherrisan Rift higher, that map was so beautiful.

Can't believe Dreamcatcher and Backpfeifengesicht are so high.
Some people just like to vote for absurd maps to screw over the people that actually play the game.
Bit surprised Treachery and Artana got the last two spots as they are really solid maps.

Pretty meh results overall, honestly.

Wasn't really big on the Top 16, my maps especially, but really just felt like most of the maps here were 'ok.' Not alot of new, interesting things going on.

Seems like most of these were voted for aesthetic, rather than the strength of the layout, but I'll be quiet now. I hope the next contest is a bit better, but I have my concerns.
AVEX - 1st place TLMC8 & 9 (and 3rd and 4th, respectively), 2nd place TLMC11, 3x Finalist of TLMC7 (5th), 3x Finalist of TLMC10 (5th)

16-Bit winning, I think I've lost faith in humanity. And Catalyst flipped 90 degrees in 2nd place...

Or maybe people are tired of having free macro games on every map.

Results are very surprising to me.

Grats to 16 bit. That was one of the maps I voted for. Para Site got robbed.

It's more like Acolyte than Dusk Towers. That's worse honestly.
