Both ESL EU and National ESL (ESL NA) will be using iCCup Neo Enigma as part of their April map pools ESL EU will be featuring the map in all of its cups (Go4SC2, Sennheiser Cups, Diamond+ Skill Cups, King of ___, Random Race, Late Night Cups, 1on1 Ladder, Clanwar Ladder, Open Cups, possibly more) and National ESL (ESL NA) will be using the map in its Go4SC2 cups. This is an excellent move to support the foreign custom mapping community and I am very happy to be able to share this news with everyone. Enjoy the cups & the map!

About Neo Enigma
+ Show Spoiler [Neo Enigma] +
Neo Enigma is a complete overhaul of it's predecessor, Enigma. My goal was to create a balanced map with the same basic concept of the original Enigma: A macro-oriented rotational symmetry 4 player map with a nearby third and 4th where either expansion would be viable depending on spawns; and I believe that is exactly what I've done.
