Red Bull TLMC Finalists


The finalists for the Red Bull TLMC and the maps making up the map pool for the Red Bull Battle Grounds TLMC Qualifier are:

Blitzkrieg

by: neobowman

Graveside

by: eTcetRa

Habitation Station

by: Sidianthebard

Jungle Valley

by: Samro225am

New Polaris Rhapsody

by: Meerel

Shrieking Breeze

by: Gfire

Synapse

by: -NegativeZero-



The maps can all be found on Battle.net (all servers) by searching for the tag [TLMC] in the custom games section.

Congratulations to the mappers who had their maps selected (special congratulations to Samro225am who has had a map in the finals for the third time in a row!). The quality of submissions was extremely high and it was a very difficult job selecting this list.

Map Notes



Blitzkrieg
- Spawns are top left and top right.
- Large units (siege tanks, ultralisks, archons and thors) can't pass the shortest path between mains

Graveside
- Spawns are top left and bottom right
- Naturals are in base with a back door blocked by destructible rocks

Habitation Station
- Spawns are top left and top right

Jungle Valley
- Spawns are top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left (all spawns enabled)
- Semi-island map, paths can be opened up once destructible rocks have been cleared

New Polaris Rhapsody
- Spawns are top left and bottom right
- Low ground floods with lava every 5 minutes killing anything remaining there (similar to WoL campaign) (includes creep tumors)
- Warning/countdown for lava rise provided, lava rises half way up ramps

Shrieking Breeze
- Spawns are top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left (all spawns enabled)
- Map is partitioned into four separate areas which connect through the middle and edges only
- Green geysers are high yield

Synapse
- Spawns are bottom left and top right
- Path through the middle of the map is wide enough for all units
- Green geysers are high yield

The judges were:
- Plexa (TL.net staff)
- monitor (Mapping Community)
- Yoshi Kirishima (TL Strategy)

Unfortunately, goswser was interested in judging but was unable to due to having to cast some last minute events.

SUCCESS!

Didn't get White Storm which I really liked but Blitzkrieg is good too.

Edit: I'm curious about the ordering of these 7 in terms of rank, but I doubt that's information you guys are going to release.

Me right now =DDDDDDDDDDDD. I literally growed a dozen more mouths.

Awesome work, mappers.
There are some handsome maps here.
Nothing too crazy.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Once again, I wonder how close I came. It's hard being passionate about something for so long and not seeing much in the way of validation. I will continue to map and hopefully my break through will come, I just hope another opportunity arises soon.

Congratulations to all the finalists! A display of just how talented the map making community is. I hope we have these kind of contests more frequently as the map pool gets kind of stale and quality submissions and work like this can eliviate it. Thanks Red Bull for hosting!

I am disappoint

Not just that my map didn't make it, but my top 7 would probably be quite different. Oh well. I decided to submit, so I'll just suck it up and deal

new polaris rhapsody is bugged.Timer reads gibberish and a gas on the natural for the sw base is unbuildable.

The maps should be checked thoroughly. I don't have time to do it. There could be more problems as well. I noticed the New Polaris Rhapsody thing a few days ago and now that it is a finalist I figured I should say something. I confirmed the same problems on the TLMC version.

Keep trying man. I remember it took me forever to win any sort of recognition when mapping, even though I feel my maps were good enough. You'll get in if you keep being passionate and hard working.

Really like the symmetry of Shrieking Breeze; the paths look a bit simplistic though; its certainly no Raid Assault http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Raid_Assault. Jungle Valley, looks like a pretty awesome semi-island, though it looks like some spawns seem kinda strong compared to others, as they allow besieging the third; I'll have to see how it plays out though.

Some really excellent maps! Conceptually they all offer something new. I am so intrigued by Jungle Valley. How does one play without scouting? And Shrieking Breeze, can one defend two ramps, or will a quick 3 bases prove to be too turtley? We have two mirrored maps in Blitzkrieg and Habitation Station. This should be an interesting tourney. Congrats to all the finalists.

Some very interesting concepts. Will be fun to see how they play out, especially the lava map. Almost all of the expansions are on the low ground and would die every 5 minutes right?

Jungle Valley and Shrieking Breeze very much "NR-20" maps from the looks of it.

I quite like the two more-so standard maps, Synapse and Blitzkrieg.

I think its only the lowest ground in the centre of the map that gets Lavaed.

imo, based on how likely to win, not what i think of them:

Tier 1:
Habitation Station. Great visuals, standard layout, nothing to offend anyone. (maybe gold minerals?)

Tier 2:
Blitzkrieg: Not exciting visuals but an even more standard looking map than HS, neobowman is famous for some other map? so that might help?
Graveside: Ok layout if it gets past 3 bases, ok visuals, might be 3 base turtle fest.
Synapse: Great visuals, but tanks/reapers/blink stalkers/colossus at that backdoor ledge could get annoying.

Tier 3

Jungle Valley, NPR, Shrieking Breeze all taking too big of risks to win, but should provide really interesting games in the qualifier when they aren't vetoed.

Oh looks like I missed some ramps when trying to figure that out. Yes, looks like all the bases are protected. Would be nice if the ramps were more clear. Or, what constitutes the lowest ground is clear with a different texture or something

Also, as someone else pointed out, the lower gas on the bottom right natural is indeed un-buildable.
