I think that the most div1 teams simply dont have time for it, I’m happy that they can arrange some matches for me from time to time.
You see three div1 teams are dropped and other have a lot of problems to gather their members for the official matches.
I like the idea about rating the map.
I thought the winner map goes in the first map pool, so I think more teams should decide about it (div2 and div3 at least).
dunu if you got it che but hmmm its already allowed for div2 to participate
As far as I know the games played by the top teams were also meant to give feedback to the mappers. But now thats out of the window you can just as well pick a winner immediately.
EDIT: or to prevent the competition ending like this, just organize some 1day cups. Maybe the admins can comment on the possibility of this?
to Puppets: it was named that the top div2 teams can play (which are 4+ teams)
I said teams of div2-3 (which are 60 minus the drops)
to Sturmis: as long as the Standard maps (bad, gran, etc) in the map pool it would 2 or 3 new maps a day, surely not more (talking about pickup2)
to RaCio: 1 day cup for every map? so 5x 1 day cup?
otherwise it would be unfair
but I like the idea, if we reduce the 5 maps to 2 (maybe 3) it should be possible
following question: how the reduce?
As earlier suggest (eoN^) rank the maps by Design, Playability, Ability to mix it up, Originality etc etc etc
If you need a neutral judge, I should have time
Add the best maps to mpuk pickups. Stats will tell which one’s the winner!
No… No it wouldnt, it would tell which map is better known but that doesnt make the map better…
Just get a rating panel together to rate all the maps…

Yes, something like that.
I guess the people who made the maps waited long enough, so they deserve the 1 day cups imho.

they wouldn’t even get played, the whole reason no top teams want to play the customs maps is because there’s no leagues employing them hence it’s a waste of practice time.
Only solution i see is having 1 day cups for all maps and let teams sign up. But if there’s nothing to play for i don’t see many top teams signing up. So i would suggest some kind of prize at least, i know it’s silly since the whole purpose of this competition was to increase the amount of competitive maps aimed at the competitive scene, yet this same scene cba to play these maps. (at least the top teams can’t)

What?
The map that gets chosen as winner will be put in the primary map pool. The 2nd best might get in the primary and (most of)the others will be put in the secondary map pool.
are they in any leagues now? when they end up being in the primary mappool they will be played, they aren’t atm so they won’t be.
Practically every season we see a thread where div1 players are demanding changes about maps from admins. Whether its fastlane being bad and needing adjustments or removal from the map pool, or chosing which version of freight is played.
Now there is a map competition where maps are being made specifically for competetive play, and the map designers are fully open to suggestions from (skilled)players. And the winning map will certainly be put into the primary map pool. So div1 teams/players not only have the chance to get adjustments to a map if they like, but they are also able to decide what maps gets into the map pool.
But now the teams refuse because apparently they want to wait till the maps are added and complain afterwards?
Quite sad really how there’s still no resolution for this competition ( seeing as i’m still up for improving afterdusk ) .
The people who aren’t in the last 5, can’t imagine how it is to look everyday at this part of the ETF2L forum and just go “sigh” .
And also sad is the decline of the playtest channel on irc . I don’t even dare typing !last .

yes
Just make a poll, but it would be nice if only the people who played the maps on the playtest channel could vote… or let the same team that filtered the maps decide who wins.
I agree with this. Just some weeks of free play on pickups channel like you did at the start, while mappers continue to improve their own maps. At the end, a private poll between the ones which played a minimum number of pickups. It’s not so hard to do and it’s voted by the part of the community that is really interested in this.
“Therefore I will encourage any team that currently plays in div2 to sign up for this.”
there you go che
