Quote from Vayanot sure if I meantioned it in the playtest but I think the CTs should have no access to heaven from A. It should at least be a semi-difficult jump.
In first appearance of aps way there is no access from CT side, but then I thought about situation like 1 v 1, bomb dropped in aps, and last T is in A main/site. So its very hard decision to make for me.

You could leave the ct access there for the reason you stated but make the corridor leading to the heaven area more viable for Ts to win an engagement if CTs do play aggressively (like B apps on mirage).
yes you need to nerf @'RZL on this map who pushed apps and killed like 40 of us every round.
Wow, it really has changed since the beginning, and your minimap is so good looking I wanna date it and nail it. :lol:

Main ideas I was following with changes was:
Crappy old gif of map evolution :v

Looking good man keep up the good work.
Sup. New update is here!
After series of 1v1 playtests I came to decision what defense of A site is boring. So I was thinking about improving it, dunno why, but I was inspired by @Andre Valera de_empire, on a edge of my dream I saw the show match on that map, and new shape was born in my mind (wtf I'm writing?)
Long story short, I made a lot of changes on A site, but saved its original shape based on two crates. Ts aps was reshaped again and turned into a basement. Also set of textures for this map was made.
So, let pictures talk (warning: early wip)

P.S: main thing that stops me from doing full art pass is absence of 5v5 playtest, if you can help me with this question, please write me a pm! 
P.P.S: write your ideas. opinions, thoughts, its all help me to make map better!
A-site looks cool! I like the new look of the connector from mid
I do however think that the site feels a bit small. I noticed this in the previous playtest but didn't mention it for some reason. Personally I would like some space that the CT's can fall back on in case of a rush that gets out of hand. I think that taking away this wall that is sticking out might give CT's some extra breathing room
The map is looking good though! Keep it up! 
Sup.
After mapcore public playtest I managed to perform competitive one with friends and boy T side was awful. Basically Ts have only 3 points of attack, two of which are tight chokes (B especially) covered with double smokes, cause there is only one T main entrance on each bombsite. CT had total middle control because of this - you can play only one CT per site, so Ts had to peek in 3 CTs in middle. Even Ts rushes with entry frags and plant was useless, because of CTs middle control and fast rotation through it. A -> Mid connector was overpowered for CTs awp - hold middle turn left and catch Ts running through main to site and vice versa. Absence of close ranges caused CTs awp/autosniper hell. Add here absence of safe plant on A and you get 3 won rounds for attack, feels worse than old nuke attack 
So, big changes I made, based on mapcore and 5v5 playtests:
Spoiler B site: new one-way (possible to boost) passage for Ts, slight expansion and clearing of T main, arch wall (next to white box) become thicker, so it can be used for cover from another angle, also arch itself become higher to remove weird sightlines.

Middle: new entrance for Ts, moved old entrance to left so CTs can hold one angle and not being exposed to another, expanded platform further to remove CTs camp/headpick position next to B connector. Also added small window on T side of a middle to simplify smokes (cant be seen from screenshot angle)

A site: central structure to break long sightlines, some new covers for Ts retake defense, safe plant position.

Ts connector: as mentioned earlier - new middle entrance, added wall between connector itself and stairs to middle to remove weird angles and add safe position to hold mid push.
