All-New Blizzard Custom Maps Featured at BlizzCon 2010

Four all-new Blizzard-crafted StarCraft II custom maps are making their debut at BlizzCon 2010: Aiur Chef, Left 2 Die, StarJeweled, and Blizzard All Stars!
 

Aiur Chef
A three-round cooking extravaganza! Aiur Chef takes you to a remote area of the planet Aiur, where aspiring zealot chefs skilled in the arts of cooking and killing compete for the title of Executor Chef.

Left 2 Die
Team up with a friend to fend off a new strain of zerg infestation in this epic co-op take on the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty campaign mission "Outbreak."

StarJeweled
Test your wits in this puzzler, which challenges you to match jewels according to color to gain energy, train troops, and crush your enemy's base.

Blizzard All Stars
Wage war with the most powerful heroes from Blizzard Entertainment’s game universes in this explosive new multiplayer game.


These four maps will be available to StarCraft II players for free via Battle.net at some point in the future, but BlizzCon attendees are able to play in-development versions in Hall B of the Anaheim Convention Center on both days of the show.

If you're attending BlizzCon this week or watching at home via the BlizzCon 2010 Virtual Ticket, be sure to check out the StarCraft II Custom Maps and Editor and StarCraft II Art panels to learn more about how each of these epic custom maps were created. The StarCraft II Custom Maps and Editor panel begins Friday at 3 p.m. PDT on the Main Stage, and StarCraft II Art panel begins at 12 p.m. PDT on Saturday on the Development Stage.

@Zetossran: Actually, Muradin was originally from Warcraft 3, he was the one that ventured into Northrend with Arthas and was left for dead. He's now in WoW, but regardless, even if he is, he still counts as a Warcraft character, as do all WoW characters, and gives him right to be in a Blizzard DoTA

So a pun off Iron Chef America, a blatant name copy (basically) off left 4 dead with SI, Name change from Bejeweled, and a DOTA competition with valve. Man things are heating up. Come on Blizzard. Creative names please instead of trying to copy/pun everything.

hmm... left 2 die sounds fun...

But didn't Aiur get overrun? How (and why) would zealots be training there? And cooking of all things!

Oh well, I'll trust your judgement... but lets see some new league maps as well! I'm tired of playing Jungle Basin and LT for every other 1v1!

Who cares about these new maps, they need to fix the foundations of the custom maps system, b/c of that these new maps won't be played as soon as they stop being featured, other than maybe Blizzard Dota.
