Unfortunatly there are map hackers on Starcraft 2 :( But now with camera informations being stored in the replays it's becoming a lot easier to track them down!

Lagless WASD Movement by progammer

WASD Movement is possible with the Galaxy Editor but all the trigger-based solutions are not suitable on Battle.net because of the synchronization lag. progammer found a way to do it within the Data editor only and even if there's still a lag, it is a lot faster than before. This is another proof that you should seriously considering digging through the Data Editor, it is amazingly powerful :)

Headquarters by Fiftysix56

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be inside a tower in a TD? Fiftysix56 made a map called Headquarters where you have to shoot the units in your lane. The gold earned will let you send back units to the opponents. A great thing to note is the presence of an AI!

Thunderhawk by Infrisios

A texture reskin, some data editing and you can transform a flammer into a thunder trooper!

Level Up Bound Commentary by ApolloStarcaft

ApolloStarcaft commented the map Level Up Bound, featured this week on Battle.net. You are a zergling and have to move through a chessboard with slots exploding based on scheme. The real interest in this map is a large amount of different explosion paths.
