for TLMC 5 it was ~9 days between the closing date of submissions and the TLMC finalists / voting thread. For TLMC 6 we are on day 10 I believe so in theory we should hear something soon. TLMC hype? :-P

I hope not, I would rather wait and have them test the maps well. I hope not, I would rather wait and have them test the maps well. @Kantuva | Mapmaker | KTVMaps.wordpress.com | Check my profile to see my TL map threads, and you can search for KTV in the Custom Games section to play them.

No we tested maps last season. We have a little bit more time this season to prepare maps and we're making use of that time. No we tested maps last season. We have a little bit more time this season to prepare maps and we're making use of that time. Administrator ~ Spirit will set you free ~

There's an incredible number of interesting maps that just don't quite look balanced, unfortunately. Aesthetics weren't considered although these below all happen to have good or at least passable aesthetics. Yes, I carefully considered every single map submitted, because I had a little time and maps are cool.



In no particular order so I listed them alphabetically:



Kipuka by Uvantak

Neo Emerald Plaza by IeZaeL

Neo Sanctuary by Timetwister22

Skorpna by eTcetRa

Vaani Watchpost by eTcetRa



There's at least 20 other maps that are on a similar level as these and probably have just as good a shot in TLMC, these are just my personal favorites as far as intrigue + balance + other smaller factors are concerned. There's a few maps whose concepts I actually liked better than these but weren't quite balanced or executed correctly (imo). Maybe those could end up winning with the judges telling them to adjust X part of their map, or just flat out winning and I'm wrong in my assumptions of imbalance.
