Gz to everyone! Guess I'll never make top5 ever 
|
Well, I'm just kinda sad that all the maps that were chosen were almost all boring 2 player standard maps... There were so many interesting and possible submissions. :/
Good Luck to everyone.

Congrats to those that were picked! Hopefully there will be another one in the future. Seems like the Pros picked the maps that were already the best rather than those that were interesting but needed the balancing skill of a seasoned map maker which imo is a little bit of a shame. But I'm not bitter, and will try even harder next time! 
Looking forward to seeing what comes out of this and what changes are made.

I can understand the choice of the pro's since going for the standard boring layout is the best possibility to win, and they want to win I think if they did this without a money prize then the pro's would maybe pick the more unorthodox maps since they got nothing to lose and its more interesting but when money is involved they prefer to stick to the standard.

If that is the case, I say we should remove the price pool next time... It's just going to produce 2 player maps, which I despise. T.T
Even the 4 player map is lost temple - Shakuras - Metropolis style...

Excellent maps! They look amazing! Props to all the map makers!

I don't think there is anything wrong with 2 player maps, 4p maps have been mostly worked out balance-wise, and 3p maps are just goofy. 2p maps give you the most opportunity to innovate.

Seems Plexa forgot to write that I will let Rhynick pick the map he wants to work on for MoTM, I felt all his submissions were very good, so it might not be Cracked Cell that will be worked on.

I didn't forget! I just listed a map anyway for consistencies sake :D
@kim;we had a 3p and 4p map chosen, and 8 2p maps, its just that 2p maps are significantly easier to create and do interesting things with. Whereas 4p maps have a number of difficulties which restrict innovation.

All choices look good. Can't wait to see how they evolve during this.

Well, it was a hard decision. I had some maps on my list that I could really improve (like TehTemplar maps for example) but then nobody chose Orbitus Brutus and I think it's such a good map and he's such a talented mapmaker that it would be kinda unfair if he couldn't participate.

Will you give him 80% of your money then? haha
No, really, I wrote about this time and time again, the format of this competition is really extremely unlucky.
