This thread should be stickied. If anyone's going to keep it up to date, it's Barrin.

NOTE: Barrin is synonymous with "Baller*"


*not the tl user

EDIT: I don't think I saw monthly map pool threads or the Map of the Month organization in there (I'll double check in a second)


EDIT 2: Guess not. Here's some links, I've formatted them like you have so you can just quote my post and copy/paste the bbcode ^^

Great job as always!

While this probably applies more to BW the insight shown easily transfers to SC2:
broodwarmaps.net

Detailed write ups for MotMs by NMJ, a must read for mapping.

Nightmarjoo's guide is the most important link here.

And on an unrelated note, the best map every made was Best Concept Plus Gameplay And League Map Ever, No Better Map Out There

Nice job! You'll keep this up to date and it's already more complete than mine.

My thread will now have a link to this thread instead. You've successfully made my life simpler!
Life for you's been less than kind, so take a number stand in line, we've all been sorry we've all been hurt, but how we survive is what makes us who we are.

Oh wow it got stickied ^_^_^_^_^_^_^ That was funny I looked at the subforum list and I'm like "wtf nobody has posted on this in days why is it at the top of the list" took me almost a minute to figure it out lol.

I have a few reformatting ideas to make it more intuitive I'll work on that after MotM submission date >.<
