ESL Galactic Explorer Map Testing Tournament

(calendar link will show up here)

Why whine about the maps until after the map pool change? This is an event intended to help mapmakers identify the flaws and gather feedback from players.

The map pool will be voted on during or after each month. 3 Maps will be swapped out each month. Though NO CURRENT LADDER MAPS will be played.

More on versions: Mapmakers, if you notifies us via Twitter / email / our discord server / forum PM / etc. We will use the version you prescribed. Add the "[GExp]" tag in your newly uploaded maps for ease of finding them. (Admins will still help the players to find the maps regardless).
