Could teams like FXO help spread their use by using them in their tournies? Look forward to some exciting stuff from ESL! We all know that is a huge problem. We've been building up so far, and every month we get bigger and bigger. Soon, Map of the Month WILL be attracting top pros. And you'll be seeing Maps in major tournaments. *Note, this could be Blizzard Soon. But we're trying! | ||

Now I just need to find someone who enjoys and is good at the artistic/aethetic part of map making. The texturing/doodads/pretty. I am terrible with all of this and have seen some amazing work done, I just enjoy doing layouts/designs more. Maybe its because i follow esports so closely, and am masters level, my importance mentally lies in their design and playability rather than their looks. =/. | ||

MotM now has ESL and thus probably EU tournament/showmatches in the future and apparently they also have a big announcement to make and the ESV guys have their Korean Weekly and they have a huge announcement to make as well, so imho things are going very well right now | ||

Yeah the response didn't really go in the direction i was hoping it would. But it's hard to ask a clear question with the few letters possible on Twitter | ||

We can't rely on players, players are mapmakers worst ennemies, viewers are the ones who may want new maps, we have to convince sponsors and tournaments, not players. Once tournaments and sponsors understand that viewing the same map for the 19784687476th time is boring then maybe mapmakers have a chance. | ||

My problem is not even that the Blizzard maps are getting boring with time. It's more that they are just effing terrible. | ||

tournaments need to be attractive to viewers and sponsors, not to players. the players will play anyway if they want some of the prizemoney. | ||

As for tournaments including custom maps in their pools... ESL is working with MotM to get a very special custom map into the IEM pool. I can't say any more than its a work in progress, but there are some very special things coming from ESL for the custom mapping community. | ||

I can´t find any infos on Liquipedia or ESL site. With  DdoRo vs  ViBE and  dde vs FireZerg I think so updates might be good.Hope I´m just not blind. Aaaand, including the standing in the overlay might be good, just tuned in and don´t know the result. I think this is the second map now? E: And is this casted from replays? Is the MotM twitter with + Show Spoiler + @MapOfTheMonth MapOfTheMonth Congratulations to funcmode and DDE for winning the MotM# contest and tournament! Also thanks to @esltv for the great cast! Ok got something on http://tv.esl.eu/de/program/view/40511 The second week of Map of the Month. We'll see the likes of DDE, Ddore, Firezerg and Vibe in action tonight live on ESL TV. We might see MrBitter and RotterdaM duke it out as well, just to give an extra flavour to the show! Today the semi finals will be played. The matches are Ddore vs Vibe and DDE vs Firezerg. Enjoy these top american players battling it out for 100 $ live on ESL TV. | ||

And if you guys need help somehow, I'll do what I can. <3 Thanks for trying so hard to make Starcraft better.

It allows us to raise then end-quality of maps with less time invested from each individual, and since this is a hobby, getting pro results without pro investment is a really good thing. The dream!.

On FenX's point, I don't think we should ever treat the players like enemies. It's not their fault that logic dictates they avoid our maps, and animosity is deconstructive to the goals of the mapmaking community. Hopefully ESL is the start of something great. <3 Looking forward to the future! | ||

Hopefully it'll be opening up to an international player pool. What server we play on... well, that'll be up to the players. | ||
