Description[edit]
Twelve Days of StarCraft is a UMS map, released on December 23rd, 1999 as Blizzard's Map of the Week.[1]
The map was released in two versions, one with and one without the song "Twelve Days of StarCraft" playing. The map works in the same way independent of which version one uses.
On December 14th, 2013, CarbotAnimations released a video with the lyrics of the song.[2]
