Hey,

considering this map will be played in Season 16, let’s talk about it.

First of all, this must be the ugliest competitive map I have played as of yet. Granary may be dull, but this map undercuts it’s attractiveness by far. Washed-out pastel colours mixed with lethargic corrugated metal planks. Not my cup of tea, I suppose.

On the plus side, the gameplay side seems to be done well. At least from what my impression was in a first scrim. Good flanking routes, upper and lower ways, no incredible sniper sightlines (or are there?), reasonable medkit distribution, many trickjump possibilities; the flow of the map seemed fine. I guess we will see more about how Europeans adapt in the One Night Cup next week.

Any other input would be welcome :)

The map isn’t ugly, it just follows a different style and it does so quite nicely.

I generally like the map, but there’s one little thing that pisses me off.

Every window, every lamp, every fucking ledge is nocollided. The mapper made it very clear that he hates hiding spots of any kind and that is the most annoying thing about the map. There is not one lamp you can jump onto… really? This makes gameplay feel a lot more bland than it has to be. There was no real need to scrutinize this much.

The map was very confusing for me at first for some reason…but well….

I think holding mid is a bit too easy. You have the height advantage and can easily shut down lower and entire shitground because of the height advantage, and forcing them when they come out from right is the easiest thing ever. I would like to see something done to make it a bit harder to hold, maybe.

But besides that (and the fact that it looks ugly) I think the map is okay.

if you follow the “main road” its an easy map… good actaully.
but what pisses me and probably most of us is the huge empty space that gives way for hiding players, backcaps etc etc. No way a team is gonna check everything in that map. Thats my problem with it. Just too much of it.

I seriously hope this is a flavor-of-the-month kind of map

As I said in another thread

I literally see no appeal in the map, I don’t think it has a good flow, besides I hate the color palette of that map, it’s too dark and feels like I need to cut myself at any minute.

Other than that the no hiding spots thing is awful as well…

After the metalworks weeks I haven’t played this even once. Don’t know why really since I enjoy the map but it’s not as enjoyable as gully or process.
