Have to say that I too was sceptical when I first saw the map. Besides the aesthetics it looked solid but nothing out of the ordinary. But I am convinsed. It's a really fucking good map and I absolutely love it. Grats Lefix, well deserved winner!

lol w00t, if that is true it's the most amazing thing for the map making community since GOMTV picked up custom maps! Like srsly, more price money+ESL support and marketing+soo many more good (european) pros participating!
If that was true I guess the iCCup guys and maybe even GSL map makers will participate more regularly as well and MotM will get so much more prestige +excited+

Thats amazing, i can think of no greater reward for a map maker then to have his/her map used in tournament play.

I don't really get it ...
ESL will use TPW Odyssey in their mappool starting september, and that's it ?
Well, ESL already used maps from ICCup and GSL in the past, and if they keep the same mappool for 1 year again I don't see it changing our lives.
Maybe I misunderstood or missed something, but I'd expect something more :/

Yeah, players, commentators, and pretty much everyone else involved in e-sport can make money with it. Mapmakers only dream is to have their map played.

What I read is that ESL will host the MotM tournament which means bigger prizes and alot more pros participating+more marketing and then they will probably use maps from MotM but afaik nothing has been revealed about that yet.

Their new map pool seems pretty... mediocre... but at least experimental kinda.

To the creators and supporters of MotM, I just want to say that this is a fantastic idea, good luck! There are so many talented people making maps that it only makes sense for some friendly competition to be introduced into the world of SC2 mapmaking...

APL is going to be using some of the Map of the Month Maps for the APL Pokemon style KOTH

Thanks for making these maps more available to the community!
