Introduction:
Greetings! I am IronManSC, a former member of the TPW and ESV map teams. I have been involved in MapMaking since early WarCraft II, and extended through BroodWar and have now been working on maps since the release of StarCraft 2. My most successful map in starcraft is the beloved Ohana. Other notable projects are ESV Khalis, ESV Ravage, and ESV Spring. I was a former host mapmaker for the Mappers Show which, due to time constraints, was cancelled after 9 episodes. As of late, I only design 2-spawn melee maps and stream the mapping process in between.

MY GOAL:
Mapmaking is underappreciated in the world of starcraft, and most people do not comprehend the process that mapmakers go through to create a competitive map for ladder or tournaments. My mission is to take you behind the scenes and show you the wonders of the editor, the adaptability that we mend to, and the tedious, step-by-step process we go through to make a competitive melee map. With this comes analyzing, chat interaction, Q&A, and relaxing music!
Due to ESV.TV no longer existing, all previous tutorials, live test games, and map making videos have been deleted. Therefore I will start fresh and post all the highlighted videos below, using my personal stream instead.
