This is my first ever map sketch
GO ME!!

The mainbases are at the bottom left and the top right followed by a middle ground nat. I was thinking for the natural ramp to be a little bit of a crevasse or winter belshir beach style out of personal taste

The entrance to the 3rd base is blocked to encourage 1 or 2 base aggression from both players at the beginning of the game as I always find it entertaining to see those early fights/Pushes that then transition into a macro game, though you may take a more risky third which is on the low ground.

The map is very dynamic, it encourages good use of ground positions and multi prolonged attacks to create a long spread out game, the ramps are wide to turn off the use of the deathball as it can be so easily crushed with a sandwhich attack.



There aren't any xelnaga towers.

Sketching a map, and creating it, testing it and making it look pretty are completely different things! It's not easy and takes a lot of time!

Also you may want to describe the map, the ideas behind it, objects, tilesets, etc etc.

Mapmaking is an art. It takes time and effort not just a quick diagram.

EpicCentre is the best map name of all time. Calling it for next GSL map

Bro if ur not going to put more D rocks how can we play this on the ladder? Silly you. Anyways, I'm not sure if this is a troll or not but if it's not I sincerely hope you try out the design on the map editor and see how far you can take your design! GL

Updated with new version of sketch and updated OP

[TheGentleman]

An interesting thing to note about map design (that I've noticed thus far) is with ramps... they all tend to be diagonal... on every single ladder/gsl map it's rare to find a map with vertical and horizontal ramps. I think it's something to do with walling off.

[AssyrianKing]

Are you sarcastically telling me to make my ramps vertical? lol
