Metalworks was taken out, and it wasn't right for it been taken out, since it was a great map, which look for example in the NA scene, it survived for couple seasons already, it only needed proper feedback to Scorpio so he could've altered it to make so it can be tested out a bit more.

Sunshine did not receive any vicious response, it got constructive response when we suggested the map maker changes that were needed in order to make it more fluent and playable, it was dropped by ETF2L however for some unknown reason, from my perspective after playing the map all the way to the finals, it felt very good, even though it was before Deer improved it.

Sandstone looks great, but it needs players to play so the final pro version would come out finally, the map maker won't just make changes on his own mind, he needs people to give feedback on it so he can finally release it so bringing it to the cup would make great sense.

Glassworks looks kinda nice, yet nobody ever made a move to give it a go, since it was never really tested I can't give my opinion on it.
Intermodal is more of an HL map than a 6's, after playtesting it somewhat.
Grizzly, never played it, can't give my opinion on it.
Convolve didn't receive much of a playtest so I can't give my opinion on that matter.

However, since you've clearly looked at some of the new maps I'll give you a couple more to consider:

koth_airfield, a very popular 4's map (yes I know, 4's isn't serious or w/e, but it was still really popular there) but this map has potential, and never got recognized as a legitimate possible 6's map.

cp_ediface, many people wished for the return of famous cp_gravelpit, yet nobody really gave this map a shot, only UGC in their pre-season week iirc, therefore playtesting this would also mean something, not many people love A/D on 6's, but this map deserves a shot.

Super excited for this, can't thank all of you enough for the work you're putting in to this.
I don't see the reason into testing old maps like obscure, warmfront, vanguard, tidal, bazillion.

You might aswell go ahead and add the new maps that might make the next season so they could also give somewhat of an insight on which map was played the best because ETF2L won't do a "one-day-cup" for every new map that is brought up.
Not only that, you would give active map makers that are working on those maps some more insight on the maps that didn't get a chance to play in a season.

Will still pay in and play no matter what, keep up the good work.

there is no need

to be upset

stabby posted this on reddit a while ago, you might find what you're looking for in here:
http://redd.it/2aoypy

This option is not necessary, not all teams have steam group pages, and not all steam group pages have all the active players in the team.
You should consider an integration with ETF2L, ESEA, CEVO and UGC team pages instead, will make things alot more clear when checking if the team is actually playing the same skill division as they wrote on the site.

One more thing about time zones, unless you're already working on it, if a team sets themselves as Europeans, the most common used time zone is CET, so anything other than that can be confusing to many teams, so perhaps make that the only option, I really don't think any other one is needed, ETF2L works by CET, European UGC works by CET (iirc), so might aswell do that to avoid confusions among teams

Overall looks promising, keep up the good work, it's looking really good.

Well we didn't have that much trouble pushing last, pushing from last was like every 5cp map.
The whole map is a standard 5cp map with the exception of last being a bit bigger than usual, which imo fits highlander perfectly.
Found a few things:
These two spots, not sure if it's intended to be able to get there:

http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/589161283254215574/2FA1D7027AC25D50618256CC097BEA2162E28119/

You can put stickies under it and it damages the players above it, not sure if intentional aswell:

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/589161283254220229/806F47A66CA1BB470F1BD699C52B63107CF492B0/

You can place stickies in the train tracks on last and you can barely notice them, I'm upset I didn't know about this at the time of my matches on the map, could've abused it :).

http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/589161283254221994/310C5BEAC2DACE6113374F61F22B28014DC9AD00/

And these 'blocked' signs are outside the doors at last rather than behind them/inside them (not sure which one is it):

And that's about it, I couldn't find anything else, maybe change lobby to 2nd a little shorter since the fights there can get really awkward and catching enemies before they manage to escape is somewhat easier than normal 5cp maps.

After playing this map at the HLNC, the couple of issues I found with the map are that:
-The announcer voice is missing for some reason.
-The truck in 2nd is sometimes invisible when you join a server with intermodal, this bug also gave me a wall of errors which caused my frames to drop by half.

Overall the map flow was really smooth imo, it's a rather large map but because of that I think it could be one of the best hl-5cp-maps.

Great job Hyce, keep it up.

Brazilians use the EU ruleset aswell afaik.

Pretty much everything you said is correct, however there are a few things I've found rather neat that ESEA/CEVO does:

•2 Halves, makes things even, allows both teams to have a break in the middle, switch sides, and take a break for bathroom or to go over strats/important game issues they are having, or just generally relax a bit.

•'.ready' System, makes things alot less complicated and will insure that nobody won't be ready at the start of the match, The 'live on 3' system is also a neat feature imo.

But if I'm not mistaken (not 100% sure) the Asians have created server plugins that does the above and other features like showing score and time on the beggining of every round, they did say they're going to release it soon enough to the public, so I hope ETF2L adpots their plugins.

I think that i49 gave us the best show that we've ever seen, every match there was incredible to watch and they were all played on EU rulesets, the NA players who have been to the Insomnia LANs should express their opinions on this.

One thing is for sure, a universal ruleset will be a great thing for the game.

Sorry if I got sidetracked from the topic.

You posting here is 100x better than posting on a steam group for example, since most of the competitive scene all over the world is browsing this site.

You should probably stick to tf2scrim just because tf2mix is sort of taken already, being a big pug system over in NA.

The site looks great so far, you should probably add CEVO as one of the leagues there aswell, which the divisions there are:
CEVO-Professional
CEVO-Main
CEVO-Open

Keep up the good work casperr, thank you for doing this.

edit: Also, are you considering making this available for Australians, South-Americans, Asians?, I don't think it's fair EU and NA get all the fun to themselves :).

Please, for the love of god make sure that this time you will put up a bar or something that will fill up everytime someone will donate, you should also make a pop-up on stream of each one that donates, like ToTH did, and give shout-outs and stuff like that.

It's not a 'hud-thing' but a server plugin that team LEGO (guessing F2), created for their server.
