I had finished another map, but I wanted to wait before I published it to make sure I wouldn't harm its ability to compete in future MotMs. I know that this was covered on whether or not you are allowed to post maps, I was just curious if this was the same for publishing them? | ||

Please feel free to publish your map. In fact we encourage you to do so. We want you to go through the process of publishing your map because when we get them we want them ready to be published! | ||

everyone classy what what  people who can.. please call/chat them about MotMT or do the line dropping yourself everywhere: something like: "MotMT 1 is on! Zelniq is gonna make a killin'" 1 per each "media outlet" would set it way up there! + Show Spoiler + (eu listeners can't really be expected to do it, since it's always 3/4 in the morning for us, and we all know what we are like in these conditions, it'd probably be awful) | ||

As MorroW said, I think there's a need for more interaction between pro-gamers and mappers. Be it through tournaments such as MotM or by testing beta editions of certain maps. | ||

Then check the rushdistance and if its significantly under 125 game units, widen it more. And personally, if it still doesnt work, stare at the map for like 3 hours (seriously) and then redo everything exect main and natural  cheers, madsquare | ||

When you're playing StarCraft, join the channel "MotM". Even if you just have the game open and aren't playing, just idle in the chat room. I can't be in there all the time When players join the channel and see a bunch of other people in there, that will make them want to play MotM maps even more. Even if your map wasn't selected for the final 5 this month, you could be there next month, and the more people involved in playing custom maps, the better! | ||

"Play your maps with a friend before you submit them. If your map's player settings are messed up, we won't accept it." +10000000000 + Show Spoiler + (it's a courtesy/respect issue) BoomStevo "There will be a vote after the tournament. We want people to be able to watch games played on the maps before deciding the best. We will be sure to make a note of the vote in this thread. Stay tuned." +1 however the earlier the voting parameters are "set in MoMT thread(s)" the better edit:+ Show Spoiler + impatient to get to see the final (probably on vod?) | ||
