Hey, since the popularity bar is not based on the map's popularity, I thought it would be cool to actually see the popularity bar of the 1st and 2nd page maps. Here are their bars:

I'm sending the Excel file attached too in case the EU players want to do this same graph for Battle.net EU. Maybe it's a good idea to make a big one comparing them. :P

I hope you find this information useful. :)

Interesting to see the differences between EU and US popularity, though in general it's still the same maps on page 1.

Nice work.

In general yes, but there are some big differences. Like how we are #2 on EU but #8 on NA.

Would be nice to have 1 for each region and then a global one merging info from everywhere.

That would be cool. I'm waiting for some EU player to attach here the EU Excel file :P

This graph makes me look bad.

By the way, the bar is supposed to just be a linear list. Only a single map is supposed to have a full bar.

Can you do one for SEA?

Is there a way to check the actual custom map rankings on other servers anywhere? Cant find anything like that.

I could try noting the Eu ones if I remember later :).

Well this is an interesting one. Ele TD has dropped from 15k hours/day to 8k which is significant. Some drop is expected, but this actually places it below Squadron TD which is, in my opinion, a significantly worse TD.

Ya I keep hearing on the smashcraft channel that the map is in the top 5 in korea or something. I'm kind of skeptical until I hear from someone who actually plays on the korean server.

The chart should be updated, squadron TD just recently overtook desert strike! It has 21k hours now and climbing. What has changed with that map?

@sandround: Go

They released a new version. I'm sure it will fall back down to its usual place once the new content is exhausted.

Squadron TD is at 19k hours/day now. I've never seen a map so high on EU before. To put things in perspective, the 2nd map is at 10k.

How'd you get the hours played overall for those maps? o.o

I played Squadron TD a lot for its achievements, mostly, lol.

Thank you. It's funny how 1 defensive map has been played more frequently than all the thousands maps on battle.net combined, and still, it's not that great.

Added EU just now^^

Squadron dominates even more in europe
