We are participating at Curse by sending some of our best Starcraft 2 players: Hubert Thieblot (CEO), Kevin Van Ness (World of Raids), Nathan Lindberg (Sales Manager) and Whalen Rozelle (Project Manager).

Vector TPS by malu05 and TheKC

The following video is from a Starcraft 2 map. Yeah ... I can't believe it either :) malu05 teamed with TheKC to work on an impressive 3rd person campaign. Here's a trailer to make you say "Omg I want to play this map now!"

Outranged by anteevy

anteevy is not using the Galaxy Editor to do another DotA or Defense game. Instead he decided to invent a new gameplay concept called Outranged. I really like how innovative he his both for his map and the presentation videos. If you missed his it's worth watching.

Custom Dependencies Desync Maps in 1.1+

Using a map with custom dependencies defined in the Battle.net Publishing System creates an issue where, in multiplayer, a significant number of players can get a "desync" error message and drop from the game.

Hey Motive. Thanks for the report. We have developed a fix for this issue which will be implemented in the next patch. (Source)
