Ello ladies and gentlemen, ive said a bunch of times i'd do these, and i think i should finally stick to my word.
Who here would be interested in custom map tournaments? What maps do you want to play or think are good for tournaments and possibly even entertaining to watch?
Currently i'd pick Snipers Promod as the first tournament map and host the tournament some time next week (so 7+ days from today), but there might be better maps out there. This is for EU at the moment. I can organize US ones as well as long as i have someone that can check up on stuff for me, and possibly even stream/VoD it (Jaminv, up for it?). I'll put up a poll for what map to use for the tournament tommorow once i have some suggestions!
I'd like to make these weekly or every second week, providing I have fun competitive maps to play.
Currently Considered Maps:
Snipers Promod (after some modifications)
Maps that i would consider once authors say they're ready:
VoidCraft
Catalyst (any of them)
Card Shuffle
Core Fight
Can't think of more at the moment
Map suggestions have to support 2 teams (not more, not less) and be relatively balanced (some minor imbalances are fine as long as they're not gamebreaking, like the bugged Ultralisk AoE damage in one of Blizz's patches), 3v3 or 2v2 would be best since its easier to get many teams that way, 1v1 is fine as well but i doubt there are many maps like that, but i'll also take higher number of players.
Maps must have some kind of spectator mode for the casters to live cast it.
i think its a great idea but ye snipers still needs some changes i already changed it a lot from the first version i really listen to the suggestions for some i just lack the skill but will eventually make it good :P
Maybe we could do our own Micro Tournament? From what I saw during the EU map night 2, we pretty much all suck at micro so it could be fun to train our skills in this, just between members of sc2mapster (and/or people on the private chat channel)... I find this map interesting but I hate its players, I'm fed up with the jerks always calling everyone a noob when he loses. Anyway, if Micro Tournament is not welcome here, what about making our own Tournament map? It won't be ready for next week obviously, but maybe we can make something very simple so that we can compete in our own map (...talk about advertising sc2mapster, huh!).
I'd suggest waiting for Corefight v2, that would be very interesting for a tournament. There is also Genetic Labs, it's also a Tug of War, well balanced and pretty easy to play. Catalyst is pretty good for tournaments, though I think it's for hardcore gamers (it's very hard to survive in the beginning). Room wars could be fine too, as soon as bugs are fixed. If MAD has made some progress, it's worth including in a tournament.
Havent played Micro Tournament, we can try it out next Map Night and i'll see. Team Micro Arena sounds like a map with teams though, so i guess that would be better :p We'll just try em out.
Catalyst is up to Eiviyn if she wants a tournament for it, i really like the map (Check its thread, i had a 31 kill streak in the old version, with 0 death, as the wraith/banshee/dusk wing with MGs)
I also like CoreFight, id obviously wait for v2 first. I think i played Genetic lab wars ages ago (Start with zerglings and then increase number of lings spawned and switch X ling spawns for 1 spawn of next tier unit, right?)
Room Wars isn't a tournament map... It's an 8 player FFA, unless we have a LOT of players it's pretty impossible to make a tournament out of it. (With a lot i mean 50+)
MAD is good as well i think, if someone gets a full house test on it to see how good it is, it's an option.
Someone said something about using TeamLiquid forum... I think its on the Map Night Thread (Please post there only concerning map night and keep stuff about tournaments in here :p). I dont have a TL account, but could make one :)
Also, i wonder, since contests on mapster hand out curse premium, maybe we could get the same for tournaments as a prize, lol.
I guess we'll decide on a map for a tournament during next Map Night. Can someone post all suggestions for tournament maps on the Map Night thread so that I put them on the list and we test them out. (Im lazy...)
I agree, Team Micro Arena would be the best micro map to go with.
Card Shuffle I can always modify for tournament play, maybe teams of 2 would work out nicely. Each team plays each other best of 3 rounds? Team with most points wins tourny. It would be pretty simple for everyone to find a partner and probably be pretty quick and fun to get through it.
Snipers should be a good one, although more likely 4v4? So may be tricky to organize it.
Haven't played corefight but it looked awesome on stream.
Still say: make a video for map nights tourney (eu na sea kr...) :)
Never undervalue @dvertising, plus it should be an exiting thing to do (even though it's boatloads of work) seeing the variety of maps to be showcased.

gratz on 300th post Fulla!
Yea, Card Shuffle 2v2 or 3v3 would be nice. Having simultaneous matches on the same map as well :)
I'd go with 3v3 for Snipers since i think teams of 4 are hard to get.
For NA, I'd like to put forward Rooftop Snipers. It's similar to the old-school sniper maps, only with a focus on secondary abilities and tactics.

we should also play KK Classic on next map night ^^

i'm still up for it...
Card warriors could be 1v1 tournament (it still has team mode, but its highly likely its not so good).
just a suggestion...
Smashcraft.
@EchoedRequiem: Go
eww
@EchoedRequiem: Go
smashcraft already has turneys, so I would personally prefer to see other torneys.
And gizmo fix the UI!!! it wont be a fair toyrney if you dont :(
@zenx1: Go
i think its better now :O
Well test the suggestions on next Map Night and vote there then.
