I have played some custom maps recently (cp_waste, cp_glacier, cp_follower, cp_gullywash, cp_outlaw and the now official cp_yukon) and i find them all great and fun. I think all these, maybe more that i don’t know about, will easy fit in the league. There is one problem though: The fear for trying new things! We humans are a comfortable breed and like things the way they are, if they works. So even if these maps are addad in Season 6 we will play almost excluded the already existent maps.

Fixed maps!

I really hope that ETF2L will try fixed maps in Season 6, in the whole league, and after the season we can have an assessment of what we thought. If we liked it we continue, if we don’t like it we return to what it was in Season 1-5.

For ex:

Week 1: cp_waste / ctf_turbine
Week 2: cp_granary / cp_gullywash
Week 3: cp_gravelpit / cp_yukon
Week 4: cp_freight / cp_pro_dustbowl
Week 5: cp_well / cp_outlaw
Week 6: cp_glacier / cp_follower
Week 7: cp_fastlane / ctf_2fort <-(lol)
Week 8: pl_badwater / cp_labor
Week 9: cp_badlands / ctf_sawmill <-(?)

(Of course, the above maps is just an exampel)

Thanks to that the whole leage will play the same maps in every weeks it will be easy to find pcws where you can practise the maps.

I really hope that this is something ETF2L dare to try, and that all the teams are open minded :)

Why not make a rule that states if both teams pick the same map then the 2nd map played is chosen by map elimination with the double map already eliminated.

Edit: too many new maps isnt good tbh you should only introduce 1 or 2 new maps every season specially for the fixed mappools

tbh im all up for fixed maps, makes everything evened out, besides 1 team could always pick pub hero maps to win.

Tbh id love to see this, like each week having a different map(s) gives teams time to focus practice on the map and improve it alot more :)

I think maybe 1 map a week rather than 2 but i dunno probably better off with 2.

id love to see div2 top5 taken to div1 and get 20 teams innit. 1 map games and top8 gets to playoffs with double elim.

I’d love to see fixed maps :)

A fixed map pool system will take care of the problems that a map pick system has and wont cost as much work. And at the same time it will force teams to play new maps which will help custom maps and will bring new maps to play besides granlands(since in PCW’s every team will have to prepare the same map). And imo the fun a team gains by picking goldrush(the only real advantage of map picks) does not weigh up against the annoyance it causes to the other team.

Why not? It’s a great map if they fix all the shit causing the FPS drops.
