Also I haven't actually played on these maps, so it's just going on my fairly good (but definitely fallible) judgment of overviews. avex - pandora enekh - night sea insidious - greywater meavis - 1 and 3 negativezero - catalyst nesta-kun - acid plant newsunshine - sky garden rqm - gardens by the bay, neon violet square sidian - blackwood timbers timmay - arbiters of the apocalypse templar - vaunted lab youngrustler - defender's resort zweck - flourish ziggurat - yopico Would be great maps with some small edits: avex - blackpink. broodie - ophelia. iroha - lucid dream. ironman - artana. samro - verdure island. sidian - battle on the boardwalk. timmay - hobgoblin. youngrustler - aruarian, norad. A couple of the finalists i chose i also have question marks about but i'm leaning towards them working. For instance I don't know that there is a great 3rd for protoss on a couple of them (such as timmay's map and young's defender's resort) but it was close. And ziggurat's holy map is definitely going to be different but I think it could work. Issues with thirds and improper use of gold bases were two of the most common errors I saw. There were a couple ultra standard maps i left out (like port aleksander) because even tho they are super solid i felt they didnt bring anything new to the table so including them in a map pool over something that does basically the same thing already (that people are familiar with) seems a little pointless. | ||

TiberiusA - Honestly, I feel like all of these maps belong best in the New category, except maybe Ophilia RE, even though it has a "half base" for a natural. Thanks, I actually take that as a compliment! Every time I load up the map editor, I go in with the mind set of shaking things up a little. I used to do it way too much for anybody's good, but for some reason lately I feel as if I've been able to find a solid middle ground between shaking things up (New) and standard. + Show Spoiler + Correct me if I'm wrong As a disclaimer though, everybody should avoid looking at Arduo-City when it comes to my mapping standard, I submitted that map as a joke. I might remake the concept in realistic fashion later on, but I only had three true submissions, in which two of the strongest are Ophilia RE and The Beneath, I'm already anxiously waiting to see how they pair up to the usual TLMC titans. But yeah TiberiusA, if I could tag another label on any of these, you can bet your bottom dollar it would be "New." Thanks for the comment lol | ||

It definitely wasn't meant as a criticism, just an observation. The maps are very unique. Actually, though, I think The Beneath has a couple similarities with Blood Boil, like the 10m/1g backdoor natural with rocks, and the 8m gold base closer to the middle. Arduo-City also confused and amused me. Nicely done! | ||

- Aruarian (Nat rocks woo, the expo direction seems pretty awesome. I think the right base's minerals are closer to the cliff though ) Went into the map and for some reason I saw that in the map, pretty strange but I have fixed it so if in the future that will be fixed. Good eye and thanks for the catch! | ||

Is having 5 "poor" mineral patches in main a feature or an oversight? | ||
