Hello! After searching around I've had trouble finding a place to get new maps tested for competitive play. It seems all the new map PUG groups are inactive. Beater just hosted a competition where contestants were able to get feedback, but now that that's over, there seems to be a lack of resources for mapper's looking for competitive centric feedback.
I guess I'm asking two questions. Are players interested in new maps, and if so, where can a mapper go to receive feedback?
As an unestablished mapper, I know it will be harder to find groups willing to test, but I would still like to try. Thanks.

Grizzle, I recommend playing 6's and gaining friends that play 6's.... most of my early testing came from asking a number of friends to come play on my maps on my server. Once I had enough attention, then I could get bigger groups / higher caliber players to test.
Not that I've ever made a map worth a shit, but I've found ways to try them....

I'm looking for a focused playtest with people who want to help and provide feedback. I have friends that play competitively, but individual feedback can only get you so far. I was just curious to whether there was an existing resource for playtesting that I was unaware of. What are good incentives for players to try new maps?

You find out, you let me know. Getting testing is always the hardest part, I've found.
I did have a lot of luck with ETF2L and getting mixes run on maps, they're usually game to try anything - you might look around and see if you can find any prem players willing to help.
