Survivors vs Swarm by Mephs
Survivor vs Swarm is a remake of Left 4 Dead. Mephs has been working really hard on this map for 3 months and is now releasing a beta version on the US realms. I wish I had an US account to play it :)
Xel'Naga Turret by kailniris
If you have played the campaign you probably saw the Xel'Naga Turret, however this is a plain doodad. kailniris added bones and animations to it so that it can be used as a real turret. This shows that the model im/exporters are starting to work nicely :)
Golems Advanced Commentary by ApolloStarcraft
I'm not usually a big fan of Starcraft 1 remakes because they tend to usually suck when ported on Starcraft 2. However the map Golems Advanced on US is quite impressive. That's probably one of the few maps that looks easy to learn but hard to master :) Thanks ApolloStarcraft for the shoutcast :)

We are in the process of deploying patch 1.1.1 in other regions and plan to release this patch in North America tomorrow, Tuesday, September 28 starting at 10:00 a.m. PDT. As we prepare to get things underway, we'd like to provide you with the patch notes. So, we're going to go ahead and do that now.
- Fixed an issue where Ultralisk cleave range was being unintentionally extended by larger targets.
- Fixed an issue where the Phoenix's Graviton Beam was automatically canceled if you used it just after the Phoenix reached 50 energy.
- Fixed an issue where queuing Return Cargo on a worker would cause it to ignore the built-in delay after it finished gathering.
- Fixed an issue where players watching older replays or saved games would experience stuttering.
- Fixed an issue where some Mac users were unable to join games properly. (Source)

4 new Starcraft 2 fan arts :)
Hurray for US betas!!!
Survivors vs Swarm look awsome !
Badly each time i try to play, there is no player connecting to the map yet. I'm sure it will gain in popularity really soon on us servers.
Can't wait to play this map !
