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.
He can have all the money tbh since it really will be his work 95%+ It's not about the money tho...
Your map was also on my list but I think I would only have changed a bit aesthetics or so... nothing major.

I'm very surprised yours wasn't picked, I thought it was great!

Not getting picked technically means that none of the pros see any flaws.

The tournament was pretty stacked. Most of the Pros wanted to do a lot of stuff themselves. Only the 3 Pros I just mentioned really picked some of the highest caliber maps. And judging from the overview of NewSunshines map he even didn´t put too much time into the map.

My aesthetics are sacred to me. They are the most fun part of the mapmaking. I don´t think I would have survived someone changing them. That is exactly the reason I didn´t want to participate anymore.

There are a lot maps that I wanted to pick (erebus and brutus come to mind), but ultimately when i saw cerberus there were a few key changes i wanted to make on a very solid map already. So for me personally, it was that with cerberus plateau, something reached out and grabbed mr immediately where the other maps didnt

Either that or it's unimprovably stupid . I don't think it's that pros don't see flaws, I think it's probably a little unoriginal and bland in its layout. The maps that were picked all look very interesting and/or different from standard fare, which is why I'm excited to see what comes out of this.
Ragoo already spent his $50. He's using dollar bills to wipe his ass because he's so confident he's got it in the bag. :D
In a serious note, it should be very interesting to see some of these before and after shots of these maps. Back to Back need to win it all! Looking at the main ProAm Post the finalized version has to be submitted by july 31st. 2 weeks, go team!

I think there is a weeks extension as the picks were late.

Good idea. If it would be until the 31st I knew some people who better be out of work. Because they just got a new job.

Quoting the main post.
Being an online community, ProAm tournaments are not exactly straight forward. So how is it all going to work?
Amateur map makers will produce and submit up to three maps by the 13th of July Invited professional map makers will look over all the submissions and choose a map that they like by the 16th of July. People who are not selected will be informed at this time. Relevant contact information will be exchanged by MotM. The pros will then work with the amateurs, in pairs, to refine the map and bring it up to tournament standard The finalised map will be submitted by the 31st of July and judging will take place over the following week The winning team will receive $50 each, and the runners up will receive $25 each via paypal
Guess they were a day or 2 late, I'd still assume the finalised map would be the 31st, maybe the 1st or 2nd.

Monitor said there would be a weeks extension on skype. That's all I'm going off.

It's not about the money tho...
