Final tourney version, as used in the grand finals.

Lol iCCup couldn't figure out how the force-field mechanics works

Apparently they didn't want the mechanic in there? I dunno what theyre talking about but he was like tried to get rid of miss chance by deleting all triggers and pylons...thats what I got out of it :P

They must think the tiles are just an indication of where the "triggers" are..

He obviously does not know what he's talking about himself...

To be fair a lot of non mappers don't understand tile editing much less something like this...

But they understand English written text, right? Pretty sure I wrote a lot about it to explain it...

Haha not everyone knows about the article tho...

I linked it in the very same map description they used for the map announcement on ICCup.

Plus I explained it multiple times; and I definitely did not imply any doubts about this being a proper melee map...

I thought the map in this Starbow game looked familiar.

Interesting. How's that map called?

Oh that's literally just a copy of Desertec, made specifically for Starbow. I haven't seen a map thread anywhere and I don't even know what it's named, but the mapmaker posted a picture of it in the TL SC2 mapmaking skype group and linked this map as inspiration. I'm not sure if he realized the center should be low ground, or if he just decided not to try to replicate it with SC2 straight ramps...

Nice, I hadnt seen the sc2 version before.

Hi i made the sc2 version for the Starbow Mod. I gave full credits to freakling for it on the map file , not sure if the uploader ( which is the creator of starbow ) kept it. Im gonna check right now.

Hello IeZaeL, love your maps.
But I never knew, your name begins with an 'I' not an 'L'. Wow

If it is an official Starbow map, they need to update their wiki. I haven't found anything about this map...
Is it, just theoretically at least, possible to recreate the cover effect for SC2?

It is possible indeed. But since SB is in beta still , we dont want players to face maps with "gimmick" mechanics or something like this. We might change it in future though.
