This has been a surprisingly quiet TLMC announcement post. I was expecting more comments about how these new mechanics will ruin the ga---I mean create more opportunities for shaking up the metagame.

I think it may be hard to criticize when you have no idea what to expect tbh. I think even mapmakers have been struggling with this contest and that we'll actually see a lot of these maps return in a much more attractive form in the next contest whether it's freestyle or not since this one has given them time to garner feedback and identify/correct issues
Castle Adventure (maybe too standard?) Heart Of Darkness Crimson Court The Grid (finally 5 levels executed properly) Anomaly Found Tunnel Vision Gridform New Magannatha
Since judging is late I might as well share the maps that I personally would like to see do well:
Tunnel Vision El Dorado Rumian Mare Crimson King Ashenguard Amphion Crimson Court Moonwater Anomaly Found Sacred Isle Riptide Magma Mines Killswitch BF1138
Sulfur Ghost River
Last 2 were not shown in this thread, but knowing they were submitted they deserve a mention
I tend to keep my cards close to my chest on what maps I would like to see do well, but since we’re about to find out anyway, I’d just like to say I’d like to see Crimson Court, Killswitch, Rumian Mare, and Amphion do well. I’ll throw in Heart of Darkness if the author renames the map Heart of Visibility and increases the fucking brightness on the low graphics profile. Can’t be bothered to name maps not on the list even though there are some good ones.
Last comment while Wax is too busy making the finalists post to do his job as a mod >
If there are two maps I wanna see get finalist, they are Tunnel Vision and Ashenguard. Though I cannot confidently say that either is particularly balanced
