hi all, i opened a blizzard sc2 map and did some simple editing using the editor by adding some heros and units. i saved it under the folder "C:\Program Files\StarCraft II\Maps". however, when i started the starcraft 2 exe. i cant find the map. its not in single player nor is it in multi-player, when i go to single player mode, all i see is a list of blizzard maps. my map is no where to be found. i experimented some more by downloading Lunar_Special_Forces_Beta_3.2.SC2Map from this site and saved it under "C:\Program Files\StarCraft II\Maps" and tested out. i realised i could not find the map after i started the game as well. i brought the full retail version and is patched to 1.0.1. can you tell me how to solve the issue?:)
I don't believe you can download a map and play it without running it through GE. If you want to play your map online with other people, you have to upload it into your account through GE. (File > Manage Published). If you just want to test your map alone, open it up and click the green "SC" button with an arrow under it.

First, wrong section.
