The final pool for MotM #3 is set. Thanks to everyone for participating!
This month we had two guest judges, dezi (winner of MotM 1) and NullCurrent( winner of MotM 2). BoomStevo decided that he wanted to submit one of his own maps, and stepped down for the month. So, dezi, NullCurrent, prodiG, FlopTurnReaver, dimfish and myself shut ourselves in a dark room earlier today for three hours to talk about the maps.
The finalist maps are: *drumroll*
- (2) Leviathan - BoomStevo
- (2) Memorial - Meltage
- (2) Aldaris Betrayal - Mereel
- (3) The Edge - MadSquare
- (4) Sanctuarium - funcmode

Map Submission
+ Show Spoiler [Things to know] +
March will focus on 1v1 maps. You may submit any map, with any number of spawns, but it will only be judged by its 1v1 play (so Maps like XN, Meta, and LT are allowed, and so are maps like Megaton - Megaton just won't score very well). Submit your best maps from now until Sunday, Mar 06 5:00am GMT (GMT+00:00). Submit by posting in this thread with the following format: Map name in bold, an overview image, author(s), and short (2-4 sentences) description. You may also link to your Map thread. Please also email the map files to submit.motm@gmail.com, with the subject "MAP - (Name)". You can include a longer (up to 10 sentences) description in the email if you like. You may submit up to 1 map per competition. Make sure you submit the FINAL version - we will not take updates.
