Hi, i don't know if this is the right place, but i recently took a shot at making a melee starcraft 2 map, but i don't know where to save it. I tried looking in my documents, it's root directory and such, but i couldn't find it. where do i put my map?

Thanks and +rep in advance for responding.
P.S. oh, and if a moderator sees this post, and it's in the wrong section, please move it, i'm not sure where to post this.

You save it to BattleNet 2.0 and then play it from BattleNet 2.0.

With your map open in the editor, go to Publish (under file menu). Log in to BattleNet 2.0 using your email and password (never mention these publically). Then fill in the publish options such as name and availability. Proceede to publish and wait till the upload is completed.

Now close the Editor and open the actual game client StarCraft II. Proceeded to login and then go to create a custom game. You can choose a view of all maps you published, using which you will easilly find the map you just published. Proceeded to create the game. You can invite friends to play with you or rely on the lottery that people randomly joining is. Eventually you can start the game, alone or with others.

The only other way to play maps is the Test Map feature of the editor. Any other methods people might mention probably are not legal.
