I thought you cant use copyrighted material for custom maps on this new bnet 2.0?
but i see theres a dragonball Z named map, with mappreview and loading screen pics of Dragonball Z!
is blizzard more lenient than i thought?
so copyrighted stuff like anime, TV, movies, are allowed for custom maps? (i think there are some Resident evil and LOTR maps too)
also, didnt a map in the beta get taken down because the author used real life gun names for weapons in the map? can we use real life gun names like "Smith & Wesson SW1911 .45 handgun" in our maps now?

Copyrighted assets would be an automatic takedown. Theming your map after an existing IP? I think Blizzard would only object if they received a complaint from the IP holder which is extremely unlikely.
Blizzard might not have seen it or maybe the author has put tons of disclaimers that made Blizzard think if they should let it stay to cut the community some slack (Most likely not, I don't know), or some other reason

There were Dragonball Z maps in Warcraft as well. Still, we'll have to see whether they're gonna allow it or not.

SC1 was full of anime themed (i.e. units renamed to GOKU or whatever) no talent crap. I hope Blizzard removes all those maps in SC2.
What nine thousand?!
I'm avoiding this map purely on principle.
