SSL2

SSL2 is a single-level PWAD for Doom II that is considered one of the all-time classic deathmatch maps. Its release year is unknown (but likely around 1996) and because of the initials its author was long thought to be Ian Sabourin (sslasher).

Only in 2016 it was discovered that SSL2 had been created by Finnish level developer Erkka Ryynänen, along with three others in a series. Of those, SSL3 is presumably lost and the SSL(1) and SSL4 did not achieve the same prominence. The map music is a MIDI adaptation of "Cold Tea" by Andy Lee Robinson (sequenced by Robinson himself), and the intermission music is a MIDI adaptation of "Nächstes Mal am Ende der Welt" by Valerie's Garten.

In 2013, SSL2 was one of the tournament maps at the 20th Anniversary Doom Challenge. It was also featured as one of the 1v1 tournament maps at QuakeCon 2019.
