My try-harding finally pays off! We all hope to have such crazy results but to pull it off is even more insane. I don't think i'll ever top that.

I'm so happy that my unusual maps ended up so high. I hope they will play well and the interest for this kind of maps will not go down.

Great job 3/5 is damn good! Looking forward to playing these new maps. I'm interested to see how more quirky map elements get implemented, like slow zones, especially once players move past the initial stigma of these things being new.

Also Cloud Kingdom is one of my favorite all time maps!

These results are moderately surprising to me, but I'm usually surprised by the public voting. Predicting them is an exercise in human psychology more so than anything to do with map layouts.

Regardless congratz to the winners.

Congrats Superoman!.

This has indeed been the comeback TLMC for Superouman, creator of the famed iCCup Testbug

Fixed.

Great maps and great winning map. Only other thing I would have liked to see is Golden Forge get placed.

Agreed, my votes went in a different direction then some of the top 5 selected, but oh well.

Congrats to the winners! Really happy to see Ever Dream, Cloud Monarchy, and Golden Wall voted in by the community. Thanks to Wardi for hosting this again and thanks to all the map makers for continually putting out such great content. Shout out to Golden Forge (hope to see this one on ladder)

One of the reasons I personally didn't like Golden Forge (as a spectator) is because it's sometimes easy to confuse doodads and protoss units. There's actually pylon and phoenix doodads (and other protoss stuff) phoenixes hanging over some of the terrain looked like doodads too, despite being actual phoenixes.

I know, that if you're playing you probably aren't bothered by that (I haven't actually played on the map), but it was quite confusing as a spectator. Also, I think that's the map with the misplaced circle for the natural

Congrats on the 3-of-5 (and to the other winners)!

I voted for P&I and Golden Wall, because I think they're the most innovative. I'm sure they would be vetoed frequently, but at least they add some flavor. I certainly voted for Ever Dream, which looks beautiful and seems to be perfectly considered in its design.

Simulcrum and Nightshade were my other votes. I'm sad they didn't make the cut, but all of these maps look fantastic. I hope they get real consideration for use on the ladder and in competition.

Not that map names are copyrighted or anything, but Cloud Monarchy sounds an awful lot like Cloud Kingdom. Hopefully Superouman won't be too map about his name being ripped off though with all the bank he made

Congratulations guys! And jesus christ, special congrats to soupman for managing to get 3/5 in the final public voting, that's just absurdly impressive, not to mention all the other maps in finalists!

Congratulations to our three top dogs Superouman, Marras and Sanglune!

Especially happy for Superouman, who was not shy to try new concepts with all three winners and to see that people appreciate it.

For me personally this TLMC was a great learning experience. I'm still happy I got Polaris in the shape it is now through the feedback from seeing the pros play on it and the judges' feedback, even tho I was secretly hoping for a little higher than 14 out of 16. Can't really be mad tho as a first time finalist, competition was really stiff.

Also, big thanks to the guys behind the scene. Organizers and judges did a stellar job and were a pleasure to work with.

Congrats to the winners! I'm kinda surprised to see that Earthrise and Simulacrum didn't make it.

Wow, I voted for 4 of the 5 winners! And also for podcast which got 14th out of 15 : ( I'll say this for podcast, it wasn't the most obvious, but watching the TL map tournament it basically always led to good games.

Also, huge congrats to Superourman. My first draft had 4 out of 5 of my maps from him (plus Everdream) then I went back and added a little affirmative action for the poor disadvantaged group of people not named Superourman.

Congrats to the winners! Intrigued by how Golden Wall will play out if it reaches the ladder. Also happy for Sanglune, looks like a lot of time were spent on Cloud Monarchy in order to reach this position. I second General_Winter in that Podcast by Timmay should have scored much higher, and I actually gave it my 5 points. It had a very interesting layout and the games played on it during the tournament were indeed really good.
