@Azathoth: I agree there are builds which are stronger than others, that's the point of having specializations and an army composition phase afterall. Spectating helps understanding what you are probably going to face in the next few minutes, every army has indeed its own difficult matchups but cheesy/air builds are just plain bad so if you are being HARD countered by anything I would suggest something is wrong with your current build.
Anyway, I really wanted to thank Blizzard for making the map visible and saving it from its drowning agony on page X (at least for a week). The system definitely needs a rework, but I think this is a great idea in the meanwhile. My own suggestions for the next week would be [b]Hex'd[/b] by Qancakes and [b]Netstorm[/b] by Sickness, I can tell a lot of work was put in both of them.
1. in game go to multiplayer
2. create custom game
3. choose Custom maps from the dropdown
4. look for the maps by name
5. click the download icon at the map info on the right.
cheers.
There are or was a team which is or was making Life of a Terran. Not sure if they're still active.
I wonder how stupid some players are to stick with the top 5 maps for this long even playing broken and buggy maps! what the heck... imagine how much fun you could have if these maps were made better and bugfree :-o
Go play IncomeWars or IncomeWars PRO or better yet Infernal Arena!
....yes but EU i still playing this silly and ugly old version..
And yes as araged said, it's a ripoff of Castle fight, which beats Nexus Wars so hard it isn't even funny.
can someone tell me how to dld these maps, or are they automatically dlded??

Anyone who can recommend some similar maps on the b-net? The map browser really could use a few more options...
