Public Voting Phase

The public will then vote on the final versions of these maps. Note that public voting only determines the final placing of these maps, that is, how much money each mapper wins. It does not directly affect which maps Blizzard will choose to appear in the next season of ladder. However, this is your chance to make your voice heard about which maps YOU want to be on the ladder.



Voting will be done based on team size and not map type.
