is not the smartest format ever.Captain_Judo: My intentions were simply to keep things fresh by providing a map
we have sparingly used in the past. In retrospect, I wish we had
gone with a proven winner instead.
Challenges are thematically based (this one after "Operation Nordwind") and Mountain Pass loosely fit the model we were looking for. We thought the map was doable! But some unintended consequences have reared its head which we did not correctly account for. I'm responsible for catching this and I apologize that I fell short.
We have, in the past, requested the eSports community's feedback regarding map selection and I continue to reference this. The most popular maps, based on the aforementioned poll, have seen a healthy dose of attention. But I have no problem sticking with what works. When I hinted earlier of new tournament formats, I meant to imply something that would be less "cute" and more suited to our dedicated, competitive players.
Our challenge themes, for the rest of the year, have been selected. But maybe we can come up with a system where we present the theme and poll the community for map & tier input?
With all that said, I do thank you all for your honest feedback.
