Team play maps are an important part of the Starcraft 2 experience. While lacking a competitive scene, they serve an important function by making SC2 accessible and enjoyable for all skill levels. While the ladder team map pool has not seen as much turn over compared to the 1v1 ladder, we hope that with this contest we can start to change that. Each of the map submitted provided an interesting take on team play maps ranging from exceptional execution of standard concepts through to radically different ideas that keep the ladder fresh and interesting.
The top three maps will receive the following prizes thanks to Blizzard and TeamLiquid:
1st Place: Mega Bloks Battlecruiser signed by the SC2 Dev Team, Razer Peripheral Set, $100
2nd Place: Kerrigan Action Figure signed by the SC2 Dev Team, Razer Peripheral Set, $50
3rd Place: HotS box art Poster signed by the SC2 Dev Team and Razer Banshee Headset

A huge congratulations to all our winners. Retribution is a map which could fit right in amongst the existing 4v4 maps on ladder. While Mystic brings a completely new flavour to 2v2 with it's split-map concept. Breeze brings team play back to its mass Tier 1 unit roots with aggression being the name of the game. All three maps bring something unique to the ladder and we hope to see them in use one day.
This concludes the second season of the TLMC, and we hope to be able to do this again in the near future.
