Ok here's my bad imbalanced map: Bridge on the River Kuwai. Took me about an hour to make, and another hour to decorate. One of my worst maps ever, but it should do the trick.
So this map is imbalanced in favour of protoss. Terran is going to have a very hard time defending the many different chokes vs dragoon aggression. Protoss can block off the many different paths with pylons and tech as they wish to. The river and bridges limit vulture movement, while protoss can zip back and forth pretty quickly across them even with a large army. If terran somehow lives to contain protoss at one choke, protoss can just leave through another. Both players have a wide variety of expos they can take in almost any order, but the islands will be particularly effective for protoss, who can pretty safely double expo there under cover of their innate map control, and go mass carrier and abuse the many chokes and cliffs.
Protoss is forced to 2gate vs zerg, but that's ok, because zerg is forced to 9pool, and 2gate usually beats 9pool. Protoss can wall off the front choke with their 2gates, forcing quick lings to take a longer path to get into protoss' base, by which time protoss will be able to fend the lings off with decent micro.
Zerg is forced to go heavy ling vs terran here, but terran can easily defend with a front wall and a bunker in back (or even in front too), and just go bat heavy 3rax and win.
[/spoiler]

Terran's gotta be able to wall off bro

Terran can wall off every choke except for the wide bridges/ramps with 1 rax and 2 depot. Relooking through the rules and interpretting them literally suggests I won't get in trouble for that, but I will get in trouble for zerg not being able to make sunks with 3hatch, but I can fix that easily with a couple neutral creeps.
Ok, edited map, added neutral creep to the corner backdoor path and put a line of rocks behind it (to prevent creep from preventing terran from walling off that choke). Thus now, zergs can if they deign to, make a hatch in the front choke, and one in the other corner expo, and be able to make sunks at any of the three chokes as needed. Obviously I could make it more balanced by adding actual neutrals to block the chokes off, but that would be not quite desireable for this competition? lol

Sure, that's fine, considering your mapping experience.

In all those maps with back to back mineral lines, would it be possible to offensive sunken in your own mineral line and float an overlord over the ridge?

probably, in fact they're so close together that I doubt you would even need an overlord for vision.
Here, you can try it for yourself:

That power generator seems a bit unnecessary since it's easy to glitch through as T/P and take a free expo, and it looks like you can hold half a map as T pretty easily. I am slightly worried about some gameplay dynamics but I can't check the actual map right now.

You can submit more than one map if you want. If I get my hands on a few spare beta keys from IRC (they'll be attached to puppet bnet accounts since I need to claim them), I can give them out as second place prizes.

i think its hilarious when members post maps they spent hours balancing people can't help but call imbalances

yet here when people purposefully create imbalanced maps everything is nicely balanced

I was bored and I was going to make a really imba map, but I made it "somewhat" playable.

[image loading]

(2)Vagina 1.1
-Expansion in main has 500 minerals per and 2000 gas.
-Total of 6 narrow passages to get to the opponent's side.
-The mineral stack in between the ovaries has 100 minerals. This makes 5-pool impassible through that passage
-The mineral is surrounded by high-ground tiles, so one must pay attention to it at all times
-Tanks cannot hit the other's mineral lines from their own base.
-Same with the piss towards the bottom. They cannot hit the other side.
-Top lane can be used after the minerals have been mined out.

Imbalanced aspects:
-All but one base is cliffable.
-It's almost impossible to flank when the opponent comes through the middle lining.
-Terran can snipe the gas at the natural really easily with tanks.
