Map Contest Update
 

Okay here you go .... We have so far have been able to play 130 maps. From these 35 maps have made it into the 'Potential Finalist' category.

We will continue to review the remaining maps and then the 'Potential Finalist' maps will be played extensively by the team for the remaining time that we have.

Before anyone asks how we were able to look at so many maps so quickly ... the answer is that maps had been submitted from Feb 1st onwards ... the last 3 days of the contest saw some 70 maps submitted.

I'm hopeful that the remaining maps will be cleared this coming week; we will then take a week to look at the potential winners and then announce the 5 finalists.

So the timeline looks like this -

March 14th - 5 Finalists advised and posted to the Upload Area for you to cast your votes.

March 21st - Overall 'PC' Winner announced.

Any further questions will be answered once all maps have been tested. Maps have been judged on the criteria we outlined in the rules.

Thanks again for a fantastic response to the competition, the maps have been incredible and old rivalries have emerged within the Sacrifice Team as we test these maps with Patch 3 http://www.veforums.com/smile.gif

From Oxryly's aggressive all out attacking, to Pancake's 'cheeezzzzeeeyy' tactics, Savage's how did he do that, El Watto's backdoor expertise and Ted Danson's fighting two sides at once, to my own strange method's of gameplay ... we are all having loads of fun.
