Map Info:
A 2 player map. Players start cross-spawn (2 & 8) with a large high-ground main base leading into a safe natural expansion and quite a narrow choke. A second expansion lies just north/south of the main bases and is quite open, but is still protected by watchtower coverage and the nearby main high-ground.
A 3rd expansion can be found in the 11 and 5 positions, on high-ground but with 3 potential entrances. There are two gold expansions in the centre of the map, in the most open position.
There are destructible rocks protecting back door entrances into the main bases, as well as rocks blocking alternative routes from the natural to the 3rd (11 and 5) expansions. The rocks themselves are shielded by LOS blockers.
Two watchtowers can be found in the centre of the map, on small high-ground structures. They provide significant vision of the centre of the map (especially if both are controlled) but alternative/unseen flanking routes are still a possibility.
The centre of the map is flooded slightly, but still mostly pathable. See pictures for a better explaination.

looks great! cant wait to play it
I opine that to receive the loans from creditors you must present a firm reason. However, one time I have received a sba loan, because I was willing to buy a car.

competitive map! Very well balanced for 3 races!
5/5
Your best map!
Love this map 5/5. It is so clean and competative.
Dude I saved this map as soon as I finished looking at it. Great work I will be playing this :D.
you can use SC2ALLin1, or find it uploaded on Battle.net
DO you know where to put custom map on the retail version?
Great, map, lots of fun, plenty of detail..
Def a competitive map!
people give low scores because are just KIDS spoiled kids if they dont want someone to win when it has a very good chance they try out of fear for them selfs to diminish the other's job.....
the world and those forums are full with crying babes! lol
The map is good, and I fully expected it to win this contest. I agree it is a map you would see on a league match, but that also means there's no imagination because you know what to expect in a league match... a couple destructible rocks here, a competitive high yield there, a tower here... etc
I'm kind of hoping that new blizzard map ends up becoming popular enough to be in league matches :) Because the strategy it adds to the game makes it much more fun and keeps people on their feet.
Anyways, grats nonetheless man. Wonder why Savourn gave you 1/5 :/
gr8 work, and congrats! and like cry17 said, simple but great details!
