Description:
2-player desertbased macromap. The map is small enough to rush, big enough to macro and has some LoS blockers to test your scouting and tactics. (the water is checkboard buildable to allow creeptumors but nothing else)

Description:
1v1 map with a similar base layout I used before on my map Mazy Hill. Not much I can say, only that I hope my aesthetics improved with all the doodad spamming I tried to do (compared to the complete lack of doodads I used before)

Name: Hysteria
Author: Antares777

Overview:

Description:
The design is unique and centers around the three paths between the sides of the map. These paths can be used for flanking and counter-attacks to a great extent. The paths can merge together by destroying the large destructible rocks there. The center path has the largest choke, a 4x ramp, and the other two have a choke of 2x at the exit (natural) and 3x at the entrance (enemy fifth). It adds a lot of mobility in later game. The towers overlook the center path and each one overlooks one of the side paths respectively. The natural has a backdoor the size of one ramp that leads into the intended third and can be walled with a Pylon and a Gateway, or the equivalent of those buildings.

I basically looked at these aesthetics, and creamed my pants. It looks stunning. And inspired me to try some other mixtures of textures in my next map.

Are you sure you quoted the right post Archivian? I thought my aesthetics were pretty straight forward compared to the innovative texture combinations by Antares777 or Wnio for example^^

Either way, you are one of the persons with the most unique and inspiring aesthetics yourself and I just love the look of The Machine II.

Description:
1v1 map which provides more attack routes the more you expand. Center is sealed from air to reduce the effectiveness of air tech rush. Expanding past the rocks gives you a more defend-able position, whereas expanding to the gold will give you an aggressive economy and position.

Description:
It's a map with 4 spawn position, but that is design for 1v1. It's map that was meant for a macro play style of map. I wanted to make a map that was the style of GSL maps. The 4 xel'naga tower helps to see the middle and main attack path.

There are a lot of really good maps already submitted, I was expecting more by now... and especially more people to sign up for the tournament.

Lol I don't care about map submission, I already got mine in, so the less submitted means the higher chances of mine being in top 5

. On a more serious note there are already some really good maps submitted. It's the players I'm worried about, and the fact that this thread is only on page 2 :S

Well I've done some publicity in my clan and there is already DarkOmen that sign in. Give it time, I'm sure there will be more player if there is more map. The mapper are probably gonna submit tomorrow to do some touch before to submit.

Description:
Orbital is a 4p map intended for 1v1 play. The map architecture is designed to encourage frequent expanding an macro-style of play without prohibiting strong 2-base timing sort of play. Much of the economic design of Orbital Station is inspired by LaLuSh's insightful post: "Analysis of Macro".
