Hey,

Thanks for the request, we've discussed this a little bit internally and we feel like this could be a good idea. Bump this thread in a week or two if we haven't done anything to make it happen

Cheers

I'll go ahead and make the wild claim that success, in this case, implies player retention.
FACEIT were "impressed" by the numbers because we were the first hub to get any attention, that's mostly because no other CSGO community had picked up or even heard of hubs yet. Mythic League had like 3000 subs last time I talked to one of their devs (6+months ago), that's half of the entire TF2PL registred playerbase paying $5 a month.
TF2PL was a nice attempt, I appreciate all the work that everyone involved put in, it was not successful.

Teams are not incentivized to ban the popular maps.
Teams are more likely to pick maps they invested time on (this isn't limited to officials though, scrims take place in this).
Teams are more likely to pick maps they can be sure will never be banned.
Because of all this, teams are more likely to pick for the popular maps.
This is a positive feedback loop (X happening makes X more likely to happen more) and it's right into the design.
I don't think you can blame the players on that one.
It's genuinely the fastest way to have all teams only play the most popular maps.

I don't know what's the precedent on this but you can try emailing enigma community@teamfortress.tv

the inner-meta clearly lost this debate

True Schumarer fans know if he does actually have kids or not

I'm not sure if I misunderstood your point or if you've misread mine. I never implied rules came out of thin air..?
From my understanding, the general process was along the lines of:
- Players play for a while
- Players find something they don't like
- League admins consider solutions for said thing
- League admins apply solutions
- Repeat
I haven't been verbose about it because I thought it was implied and obvious.
Feel free to let me know what I got wrong

Nobody important has ever claimed that cookie cutter was the most efficient.
6s is shaped the way it is because 10 years of gameplay allowed the players express which parts of the game were interesting and fun and which weren't.
