Finalists
2v2 Finalists
A total of 31 maps were submitted to this category.
Divergence | Marras
- Features a short rush distance, but the most direct path through the center is difficult to navigate through.
- With the pocket gold expansions and straightforward expansion layout, macro games are more likely to take place.
Efflorescence | themusic246
- Main and natural base setup is reminiscent of the layout of Shrines of Lizul, although this map is much more macro-oriented.
- The mirrored but compact layout makes taking later expansions easy while leaving them open to attacks on multiple fronts.
Emerald City | RQM
- This is the largest 2v2 finalist map, with a relatively safe expansion layout.
- Gold bases are available for later aggressive strategies.
Golden Kingdom | Superouman
- Created by Superouman, the same mapmaker who won TLMC1 with Cloud Kingdom. This map’s layout was clearly inspired by the former’s.
- Short paths are relatively easy to defend with tighter choke points, while longer paths allow for more free movement.
Rhoskallian | Namrufus
- Expansions are relatively defensible, with watchtowers providing vision over two of the main three attack paths.
- This is one of the most standard 2v2 finalists out of the five.
3v3 Finalists
A total of 28 maps were submitted to this category.
Bone Temple | Superouman
- Natural expansions are easily secured, but third bases will require team coordination in order to hold successfully.
- Overall a simple and easy to understand map, but there are many possibilities for how a game can progress.
Jungle Depths | Xancake
- A large and tricky map with lots of potential attack paths and expansion layouts. Rocks along the edges of the map open up further attack paths as the game progresses.
- There are a number of long, narrow, winding paths that can gain an opportunistic player an advantage.
Khalai Terrace | Meavis
- This map features a safe, ordinary expansion pattern for all players.
- While bases are relatively safe, there are plenty of attack paths to be exploited.
Rose Motel | RQM
- While there are lots of expansions on this map, team coordination is required in order to not be unexpectedly split up.
- Rocks in key locations, such as under the central LoS blockers, make defense easier in the early game.
Whitewater Line | NewSunshine
- The smallest 3v3 finalist, with a standard layout, has a different, less complex take on 3v3 layouts.
- Pathways along with the expansion layouts were heavily inspired by those found in 1v1 maps.
4v4 Finalists
22 maps were entered into this category.
Momentos | NewSunshine
- While one team member spawns further away from the other three, each team has a relatively small area to defend early on.
- Lots of potential for hidden strikes through side pathways as well as risky expansion-taking at a player’s discretion.
Multiprocessor | -NegativeZero-
- 2.5 bases are available per player on this semi-fortress style map. Coordination is needed to take additional bases, although they are within reach.
- A backdoor path connects the two sets of two players on each team.
Nunc Fluens | Timmay
- A semi-fortress map with a plethora of expansions outlining the colorful low ground area.
- The central high ground creates multiple points of contention.
Shipwrecked | themusic246
- A small number of RMTs guard the central bases from air harassment while being isolated from the main ground paths.
- Overall, players can expand at their own pace, but they should try to coordinate and secure one of the corner areas.
Sunset Valley | Marras
- Natural expansions are quite separated compared to the connected main bases, but blocked off gold bases serve as a backup tool for finding income.
- The center features many potential attack paths and is outlined by several bases to be fought over later on.
