Hey tktkvroom :)

Hehe, good question :D I guess no non-korean mapmaking site at least...

About your map:
looks quite nice!
One big thing that bothers me though is the small ramp from the natural to the maps' center. I think it is way too strong, nobody will be able to push into the natural. I would make the ramp much wider, I would say at least 4 or 5 times that wide.
One smaller thing that bothers me is that the mineral line of the 9 o'clock base faces towards normal ground of the center. I guess it is much easier to abuse that e.g. with tanks and dropships than the other bases.

no idea if there are any sites not dead. I wanted TL to add a custom map page or w/e XD

Seems really easy to defend and play turtly

@TK a lot of sites are using Discord for more active and instant communication. SEN is much more active on Discord than the actual site. NHFFA group as well, not that they were ever a website. Drop me a PM if you want invites.

The site's as dead or alive as you make it I guess. The times of dozens of active map makers are long over though.

I guess I should join SEN on Discord too.

Is there any other StarCraft map site that keeps updating maps?

Some thoughts:
Overall this map looks like something from ~2006 or so again. I don't see how something like normal sized ramps as nat chokes fit into moder meta at all.
Symmetry could be a lot better.
The deco looks very spammy/repetitive.
I also don't like how all the expansion are in some way cliffable from each other. You also can only really expand clockwise in most cases, except maybe at the top left position where the middle expo seems to be a lot closer to the bridge for some reason. Again, symmetry and distances just seem off.
