The winning map looks impossible to take and hold a 3rd/4th base, doesn't look good for zerg players. thats my main concern with it...doesnt look that good for zerg but if zerg survives midgame without too many loses...should be fine I feel like the map will encourage a lot of counter attacks and slightly bigger ling styles/active units even in ZvZ. I mean there are a lot of paths, no way a single ball of units can adequately defend all of them (looking at you 100+ supply pure roach balls!) You underestimate the Power of the Roach in ZvZ. Roaches can defend, attack, harass, base trade, be dropped, be nydused, be split in multiple groups for either attack or defense ; Roaches are the answer to every unit, even the Mutalisk. I tried to hatch first into pool gas into taking opponent gold on overgrowth he scouts unfinished gold so i cancel take my third...roaches saved my ass really hard

Ganymede looks like Polar Night, without the hidden corner bases.

Funny that someone else was just saying it looks exactly like Daybreak. I suppose good maps will always somewhat resemble a map that came before.
Fortunately, it doesn't play anything like those other maps.

Those two winners really are eye-candy, man, I would fap to that. Congratulations Uvantak, and thank you for these amazing maps. I hope both will be used in the next ladder season! Can't wait to see how they play out.

I just wish Foxtrot Labs had done better >< Runner up of TLMC4, got on ladder, was played by the best of the best. I guess it was robbed of first place in TLMC4 by Biome and of a better competitive life by Blizzard's stubbornness to make pros play on Secret Spring, but so many good maps never ever got recognition that I can't feel too sad for Foxtrot Labs. Of course I wish it had done better, but it had a really succesful existence compared to most maps. I'm sadder for Kamala Park for instance, that never got to be played on ladder, to stay with Uvantak's maps.

Kinda scared as a zerg, since Uvantak uses chokes and pathways so much and I didn't like Foxtrot, but those maps still look great and I can't wait to see some on the ladder . Well I'm zerg myself, Foxtrot was a special case in the sense that when the map was made Terran was underpowered, and Foxtrot accounted for this by buffing terran a bit on inderect ways, but terran was also buffed as the season advanced meaning that Foxtrot became less and less Zerg friendly as the season advanced, atm Zerg is a bit underpowered but not that much to highly modify a map because of it, so in general you shouldn't be having too much problems on these maps even when some areas are quite narrow. Gany will probably be better for zerg than echo tho, that's normal. Just as a minor note, he used to be Protoss.
LOL dont want to start a balance debate but WCS ro16 3p 3t and 7z with 2 groups one with hyrda so.. gsl ro8 with one group left 1p 3t 3z and nssl ro8 3p 2t 3z so i think all in all its pretty balanced really just on the players now not the races.so i think zergs will be fine. but ppl will think whatever they want.

It is mostly because the map is very annoying to play on, but the map was designed to be annoying for players, so I was more or less expecting it to be disliked, but I never expected for it to reach such levels of hate tho specially at the start.

Ganymede seems pretty balanced, a mix between Polar Night and Belshir Vestige (both good map). Hoping someone will consider this map
