I have a quick question to ask: Since I've always been a fan of Nexus word wars, and was sad to see it go, I would like to create a new map, based on it, but with more features, and which hopefully will stay more up to date. However, I wouldn't want to make a map that nobody is interested in actually playing, so: What are your thoughts on a typing-trainer like map, i.e.: A tug of war, where you have to type like hell to stay alive.
Would you like to see such a map made with a new name and new features, or do you prefer more "conventional" types of maps?
---
For those who don't know: Nexus word wars used to be a popular map back in the early days of SC2. Then, after introducing a dictionary, it got banned for some absolutely ridiculous reason (I think because it included a religious word or something along those lines). After a long struggle, it was reinstated, but it has been dead ever since, seeing as nobody wanted to go looking for it after it had already vanished for weeks.
The goal is simple: There are two nexuses, and the battle is 3v3. Monsters start to appear from all sides and attack your nexus, and your enemy can send waves to you as well. Your goal is to kill these monsters by typing the word that appears on top of them as quickly as possible, before they shred your nexus. Last team alive wins.
It was a simple recipe, but very well polished, and it really improved your typing speed.

Let me know what you think.
Go ahead. I liked the map, and would love to play it again.
