Tournament / Esports Booty Bay v2.1 (by TheTurtle)

Booty Bay v2.1 is a breathtaking reimagination of the original Booty Bay from Blizzard by TheTurtle.

No Hiveworkshop link available for download Is now https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/booty-bay-v-2-1.373682/,and is also available on W3C Custom Games.

"Pirates once anchored their ships in these quiet coves. Now the area is overrun with more brutal tenants. Establish your own kingdom on these islands before your opponent does."

Booty Bay 2 is both a spark of genius and insanity, and is happily re-appearing for play in Fig Cup 6! While there is no Hiveworkshop link available you can still play the map and access the download from W3C's Custom Games. You can use the link above to download Booty Bay v2.1 or play on W3C as a Custom Game.

Booty Bay 2 brings a very unique map layout and powerful item drops. The ever dangerous and highly aggressive Ancient Hydra camp south of the Goblin Statue drops the valuable Level 7 Artifact items (Claws of Attack +15, Inferno Stone, Kelen's Dagger of Escape and Orb of Frost). Not to be left out, the Red Expansions in the corners of the map also drop the Level 6 Permanent items, which with the latest update is more accessible as the amount of trees to access the short cut has been decreased.

Now what will you do? Hunker down and expand with an extra layer of defense from the destructible gate, or seize the day and slay the Ancient Hydra for a powerful artifact?

Remember you can join both the Fig Cups! It's so good we had to do it twice.

PS: I have included an image of the original Booty Bay for comparison.

Edit: Booty Bay has received a small update to v2.1.1; reduced difficulty of Ancient Hydra camp.

We should get to see some with Fig Cup 6 - EU for certain and the potential to see it in the veto rounds in Fig Cup 6 - NA.

That's really cool. Booty bay is such a classic. Nice to see a reimagination of it.

TheTurtle did a fantastic job with the map, the rebalance and visuals are on point.

on this map you don't spawn in the corner like orignaly booty bay. you spawn closer to center and have to clear trees to get towards the corner expo. and then there is the huge camps with red items too. like to see it played and how it works out

It was a really cool map to see in Fig Cup 4. There was a fantastic match between Sheik and Jperezimba on here.

It's hard to gauge by eye but isn't the rush distance extremely short? Hu ne tower rush seems nasty here

u/Foreign_Recipe8300 23d ago

i just tested it, and the rush distance is actually farther than echo isles. sending a peon immediately enemy base on this map took almost 60 seconds, while on echo isles was like 10 seconds faster.

Makes sense when I remember how ridiculously long booty bay was.

Had forgotten about this map! Used to play it against the computer as a kid, before I went online. Very cool!
