Diablo - The Curse of Tristram by egodbout
egodbout has been working since the beta on his remake of Diablo. The version he has submitted for Blizzcon is really impressive. He has done a lot of work to recreate all the elements from Diablo within Starcraft 2.
As a side note, if you want to get noticed by Blizzard, just recreate one of their other game. WoW remakes have been featured 2 times already and he got a blue response by Bashiok.
Quest Line by Doubotis
If you are making a RPG you probably want to add quests. You probably abandon the idea once you figure out that you have to recode a whole quest system. Doubotis who wants you to create RPGs has been focusing on creating a quest module. It is really customizable as you can see in the video.
Pesik Commentary by PET
PET is shoutcasting maps for the website sc2ro.ro and today he presents the map Pesik. At a first glance it looks really bad with this zergling moving a bit chaotically but it's in fact a Bomb map: you have to give out the bomb just before it explodes in your hand!
After digging through I discovered that it's a remake from from Warcraft III (props to Chirus on sc2testers.net).
Contest - Epic Battle Cinematic
The votes are finally over! The entries were of a remarkable quality. Sometimes I wonder if Blizzard would have imaged that it was possible to do such things when they were making the editor.

Lights in the fog is amazing and IMO should have won.
I really wish maps would utilize custom models more.
