I wanna see em all. Indeed that is valuable information. I think Plexa said they wont do that though; people will post their submissions if they want them to be seen. I don't want to upload submissions for two reasons - intensifies any "XXX map" should have won comments - I don't want to upload maps without permission, some authors may want to keep their entries secret for whatever reason If I planned to showcase the maps I would have needed a "TL will post all submissions" statement somewhere in this post. | ||

I don't think people watching the open tournament is going to change their mind when they've already been indicated that the play testers liked it best. I disagree. I plan to get some comments from any notable participants including the four players who make it to the semifinals. They'll be put into a post and people can vote after that. Plus there is the staff vote as well which might change things. And I definitely wouldn't say play testers liked it best, I merely emphasized the point on that map because I knew some people would be a bit upset by it being chosen. | ||

Judgin own map unbiased is almost impossible I agree, but I dont find any reason why a map maker could not judge every other map in the competion, even if he has hes own maps in the same pool. | ||

There is a reason why when 99% of the products of the world were desinged, the desingers did not ask consumers directly what they want, but instead decided themselfs what is the best for them. I see pro gamers only experts of maps they have played +150 games on personally. | ||
