I think it is silly that every tournament that wants to get more then 2 players needs to have a prize pool, its just silly. Playhem offers tournaments for multiple different leagues every day for 2 servers with decent price pools. Also there are tons of weeklies. Blame them.
Thing is, most people don't have any chance of winning playhem, but they still try and if you;d ask them they would day something like tournaments is fun or since it is a better practice then ladder, but when you ask them to join a tournament with no prize pool they see not logic in that, just weird.
I do think there should be some prize though, since without one it does feel like your playing for nothing. I suggest a champion hall, that's what I do in my weekly tournaments (only for my country people), that way people feel they earn something when winning, and I think glory is better then 2-3$ so that might work

When is the line drawn for a "new month" ? is it a spesific date, or is it just 1st of each month?
|
How will we the mapmakers be able to see the games played? How can we get access to the replays?

The tourny will be streamed. You can join the chat channel and ask to spectate the day of the tourny, and you can ask the players for feedback! This tournament is just as much for you as it is for the players. If you have any other ideas for helping the mappers out lemme know!

We have to process the maps under consideration, and release the map pool. This should end about 5 days before the tourny. So once the pool is announced it is final. The pool will, sadly, be updated every month we were originally planning on doing it every 2 weeks, but we could find enough maps on NA to fulfill that.

We were hoping to refresh the map pool every 2 weeks and include EU maps. If this is successful we may put a plan into the works we will see

This is a great initiative btw. map testing rly is a problem for everyone but ESV.
Unfortunate that map quality has gone done lately, many good mapmaker's gone inactive.
|
I'd liek to point out, that Mon 04:00 CEST is not a good time for europeans. 4 hours earlier would be easier to adjust to for both NA and EU.
So since there's no way to watch this live, will there be VODs or rebroadcast?

Can you post some more information about where we can find the stream? Will there be an in-game chat channel? etc.

So... is it at 7:00 PM PST? or AM? What's the stream link?
info please.

Great maps and very nice.
But what the point of that tournament? If only some will play on those beatiful maps, because Blizzard will not implement those maps to ladder

...and that's why melee mapmaking is left in the dark so often, because people don't see the point of it.
The tournament is just one small thing that brings map making into the light and gives them more exposure.

I think this got canceled. The link for the tournament no longer works as of a few minutes ago.

I'm terribly sorry we were on track with 11 players but 3 hours before we were going to go live my power went out and I couldn't host it. We will have it next week I was able to cancel before we began so hopefully some of those players will come back!

I hope so, this is a really cool thing to do, and the mapping community needs the support.
With any luck MotM will start heating up at around the same time though, making for an exciting week. We shall see!
