Basically SDW and KS deserved their prem spot. It was a race between iag, panda and SIAS. We all had results against snsd etc and honestly Tomu your team dropped out after a loss in platinum which doesn’t look great in an application. Since the divs are bigger, obviously it’s going to suck being the one team who gets dropped to div 1, but even though it ended up being you guys, we all would win that division. You guys will be prem in no time. (But please don’t fold)

Please provide any feedback regarding the Map Pool or Unlock Banlist. Keep it civil.

I don’t see much point in making a feedback thread without changing the map pool to reflect the feedback, i.e. a lot of teams thing gravelpit (or steel) should be removed from the pool.

Remove it from the pool and replace it with what? Untested maps or otherwise controversial maps – No I don’t have any disputes with it, if I did and didn’t offer a viable alternative I wouldn’t be disappointed to see no change.

Quoted from Henghast

Possibly reduce the maps played on the 5cp weeks. All game modes are part of highlander and the way it is set up it suggests that pl_ is 2x as important than the other modes.

I don’t really care personally. However it’s a gripe I’ve heard a few times.

Maps like Badwater/Gpit/Steel are played bo3 because it’s possible that one mistake can cost you the entire map(eg Medic drops uber). In 5cp and koth you can drop an uber and still comfortably win the map.

So basically it’s a time issue, and not a indicator of how important the map is.

Quoted from Asaaj

If you want new maps so badly, get those mixes going.

What do you mean by “old format”

The overlap is pretty insane right now. UGC, Wireplay and ETF2L highlander as well as ESEA and ETF2L 6’s.
