I hope IronMan gets in on this.

Awesome, We should be able to produce some cool maps imo, I'm still waiting for a Snowtheme map. Especially now when the winter is coming soon!

Don't forget to put lots of rocks to get a 10/10 from Dustin Browders eyes

Ah, this is great. I'm looking forward to seeing all of the entries. I enjoy trying out custom made maps, but finding them is an absolute nightmare in-game.

Definitely joining this! I was making tons of maps during beta. Hopefully the map editor hasn't changed that much..
Great job plexa! Always awesome!

One more question, on requirements, you stated that we are not allowed to modify the size of mineral patches or destructible rocks. However are we allowed to modify the size of certain doodads for more esthetic purposes?
Say I want to make some rocks bigger, note also that I don't plan to use big doodads in the middle of the map, just around the edges for beautification.

this is crazy to me, I want some of those professional map makers from the gsl to enter and show blizzard how to make real maps! also surprised they didn't say you must have 7 locations with destructible rocks in random locations as a rule. Bitches Love Destructible Rocks!

Would be nice to see a remake of Neo Aztec. I love 3 player maps. They seem the most balanced.

Thank you a lot Plexa, you're being of great help

Very cool.
Hoping to see some of the MotM entrants in this as well. :D
Accepting 3 maps per mapper is very generous. You can submit
- your best work to date - re-purpose an old failed project - create a completely new map from scratch
all in the same competition. I think that's usually the hardest part when a mapper has to decide upon which route to take for a submission from his portfolio.

@Bobster I also think having three entries means entrants are more willing to try some more unorthodox concepts which means we might see some real creativity in the maps. If the entries were restricted to one then I suspect people would play it safe.

I don't think this is a 'popularity contest'. If those 'non-korean mappers strill trying to make a name for themselves' make the best maps, they'll get noticed. If their maps aren't as good as the ones made by the 'critically acclaimed korean mappers', then why should they win? I think the end goal is for the ladder to have good maps, and for Blizzard to at least open their minds when it comes to the map pool.
This is a great opportunity for the community, and something that should have happened a long time ago.
May the BETTER mapper win!

I'm definitely looking forward to see the top ten finishers.
This is like an officially sanctioned Blizzard MotM. :D
