I’m going to drop out of this contest. I don’t want to participate in something so clearly tampered with.

Thank you to the sponsors, and everyone who participated and helped by putting their time and energy into this.

Stay tuned for New Worlds Star League coming soon!

Not sure what's going on with peruvian love but why are we beating it down? So what if they made accounts just to vote for a map they like. What's the problem with that? do you really think they are trying to manipulate a poll? I see so many familiar names also voting for Testbugs map Paranoid Android XXL. Not to mention only 5 pages worth of votes and we are already calling it quits. 10 days before the competition ends.

All of the maps are fantastic creations, and I've been impressed with each and every mapmaker bringing their own flavor to this contest. I'm not sure how this thread turned so sour over the perceived idea that this voting system is rigged. I'm sorry minerals it isn't turning into something you wanted, but maybe we can give credit to a less noticed community on TL. Many of the players have been participating in BWCL and random tournaments from Defiler.ru to their own tournaments such as Deathfates Proleague and Team league.

Hi, i'm contacting all the new users telling them LATAM can show their support to the StarCraft Community by editing their posts and erasing their votes.

I noticed Paranoid Android is still winning the competition even if we remove thier votes. So, removing their votes won't affect the results.

Removing their votes might affect our relations with the LATAM community, but maybe i can prepare a nice message to them. Explaining we LATAM can win this competition sending love instead of votes (and waiting for european and american voters to decide what's their favorite map).

I asked most of these players why did they vote for my map, and looks like the main reason is this: if they want a 1v1 map, they will pick Sylphid, Eclipse, Vermeer or Poly. But, if they want a 2v2 map, Paranoid Android is a decent option. Paranoid Android has also been selected for the 2v2 BSL, so many LATAM streamers are practicing on PA during their streams. So the LATAM community is seeing that map everyday on facebook/twitch/youtube.

Maybe they just don't see the need of a new 1v1 map... They explicitly told me that if they want a super new 1v1 map for a tournament, they would just use the map Neo Rush Hour (link here: http://www.panschk.de/mappage/comments.php?mapid=5533) but they would use Neo Rush hour TOGETHER with Sylphid, Eclipse, Vermeer and Poly.

+ Show Spoiler +

I also think i accidentally blocked/reduced the chances of voting for a 1v1 map among LATAM voters because i submitted Neo Rush hour to most of the tournaments in LATAM. I've been talking to every tournament organizer asking them to include Neo Rush in their tournaments since january, so the LATAM community is completely aware of the existance of that map. I even sponsored many games on Neo Rush Hour so maybe they just can't find space for another 1v1 map in the short term and mid term

I saw a lot of people supporting the "Paraoid Android" map because it's a good map and it was selected by the BSL for 2v2
But the "preference that many mention" is totally out of place because they believe that nationality influences, if they have problems with that kind of thing, they should not claim the participant but the organizers for giving those rules where the public decides which map is the better.

Next time, put special juries to select maps and don't let the Starcraft community vote or select a map, the reason for the vote doesn't matter, the rules are not being broken, everything is within the parameters that the organization set.

They should control their comments more and stop blaming those who are not to blame for having support
