I think I did elaborate in some earlier topics.

GN just looks extremely boring design and tileset-wise (compared to the other 3) to me. Getting sleepy just looking at it, but considering the name, maybe it's actually a good thing xD

I still love all the new maps and mapmakers, obviously. Thanks y'all for keeping the game fresh after over 20 years <3!

Big shout out to everyone who participated in one form or another throughout this contest series stretching all the way back to the end of February when the call to submit maps was made.

In my opinion, this was one of the greatest and most original contributions of the foreign scene to the game in the SC:R era. There is no other event that generously welcomes and democratically involves so many different stakeholders (i.e., map makers, TL users, map test players, broadcasters and stream viewers) throughout its organization and execution. These are all the elements or components that constitute the 'game', packaged together in unity in one single event. Wonderful stuff!

Bravo all of you

Congrats to all map makers! Happy to see that final result overlaps with my initial on stream analysis. ;-)

Scores of the final vote to declare #1 map of the whole contest series

[image loading]

Used Dowdall point system whereby 1.00 point is assigned to the 1st map ranked in a voter's list, 0.50 points are assigned to the 2nd map ranked in the same list, since voters were asked to list two of their favorite maps in order

Scores of the four finalist maps publicly voted to be play tested in separate tournaments

Used Dowdall point system whereby 1.00 point is assigned to the 1st map ranked in a voter's list, 0.50 points for 2nd map listed, 0.33 points for the 3rd map listed and 0.25 points for the 4th map listed, since voters were asked to list four of their favorite maps (out of the 12 maps) in order

Scores of the 12 semi-finalists maps publicly voted but only showing the scores of finalist maps within the top 12 maps for purposes of comparison with the finalist and final voting rounds above

Used a different (cumulative) scoring system. Voters were asked to list their top 8 favorite maps out of all accepted submissions and four more maps were added to those 8 maps to proceed to the next round i believe

Wavelet topped the charts at #1 consistently (i.e., during all voting rounds) by a somewhat significant margin, while GOOD NIGHT placed 2nd during the semi finalist and final voting rounds.
