Listen dude, if you think I was trying to come at you with that post (or admins in general) your totally wrong. but so be it. and to clear things up - I have never expected anything from the community as far as maps go and I speak for myself not for other mappers trying to get their maps into the community | ||

I'll answer - there isn't.  Or at least answer this. Suppose we do get to do all the work of getting a team together, developing balance theories, drawing maps, testing them and assuring a level of quality that we find acceptable for TSL. Would those maps have a chance of ever being considered to be put in the TSL. Or shouldn't we even bother with it all because regardless of good our maps are they're gonna be shot down because they're foreigner? | ||

However, we're still going to try and make some maps, because TL can't say say yes or no until we actually get a fucking good map made. | ||

If there is a TSL before that then there is no way a foreign map will be included, purely because of the number of maps currently in circulation and the proximity of WCG. However, a TSL after WCG does have the possibility of having a foreign map used. TSL will never rule out the possibility of a foreign map and im sure every season it will come up for discussion. Just remember, that if a map did make it - it would be the flagship for the entire foreign scene. If it were a disaster then the chances of another foreign map are severely diminished. People would constantly bring that map up as an example of why foreigners can't make maps. However, should it be a success and there is an increase chance of successive use. This post definitely has a foreshadowing tone to it, but I don't know why. | ||

And I didn't misinturpert that you got top player imput on Faio before making the final decision? (And forgive me for the stupid question either way) | ||

After that, there wasn't anything I could do because they didn't involve me in any testing or discussion, so I just kinda had to pray or so I was miffed at the time, but I really think not including Faoi was the best decision, and especially didn't mind when they threw Troy out. I was kind of put off though when they threw Othello and Wuthering Heights in though, up until putting those two in everything was being done to ensure if not a balanced mappool, a safe one. I kind of feel that at the time there couldn't outside of theory been any proof one way or another that either of those two maps would come out better than Faoi, or perhaps atleast not as bad as Faoi. In hindsite though the two maps played pretty nicely all things considered, but who knows if Faoi would have, just hard to tell really. As far as I know though, the decision on Faoi was just made through administrative discussion: presumably they'd have given me some kind of feedback or replays otherwise. | ||
