Custom Map Tournament
Overview
Recently I have become annoyed at the little recogniton good mappers get, and the lack of play the new maps get. I am a pro-custom and the more I play the original 6 maps the more I think, ‘Why the hell do we still play these?’. I have been juggling the idea around and been talking to WDW`Stun and m00.Kendle, and today, had a little chat with Venom who runs ET-League, who gave me support for this idea.
All customs suck. Why bother?
The worst argument ever. Not all customs are competetion maps, I accept that. But did Splashdamage know how to make a good competetive 6v6 map when they made ET? Answer: NO. So why play them? Custom maps only get better by being played, and the players giving feedback to the mappers. There are many new maps that would suit competetion perfectly, so they should be played, and modified, and become a comp map.
Many people refer to these custom maps as ‘kenya maps’, probably because they arnt played, or unknown, but some of these ‘kenya maps’ are the maps we should be playing now.
Interest
Ive made this post to enquire about the interest in a custom map competetion. To be able to have the maps played fairly, we will have to use the savage format, and not the homemap format, giving clans time to learn the maps before theyre game. The tournament will also be primarily for fun, meaning you can really play the game whenever, if you cant play the suggested time, as long as the results are in before the end :P.
So what do ya think? Are you intersted? Got some suggestions? If your clan’s intersted tell me!
All ideas and suggestions will be taken seriously, and I can gurantee that I will percivere in getting this competetion off the ground!
