EPG and Coldwar PLEASE

depending on matchups and such, there is already an arrangement for TFTV coverage! :)

you literally just disproved your point? if most unlocks are community made and added to the game and those items being unbanned is a good thing then the same goes for the maps that are made by the community that are added to game and to leagues lol not really sure what you're trying to argue here. but thanks for your support i think!

apart from that badlands and granary have been the only stock maps in rotation since like 8 years ago.

not sure you are aware but valve essentially just use maps that were once customs and adds them as official maps once they gain popularity and are in a completed state, so yes it won't. thanks for trying tho.

I'm happy to announce, on behalf of RGL, the Modern Map Popup League. The new initiative dedicated to finding the next great competitive map and finally ousting Badlands from the map pool!

Together, competitive map developers and players have created what we believe to be a field of maps that are perfect for the modern meta of TF2 and could serve as the foundation for a new golden age of TF2 maps! The league will serve as a platform for the general player base to test and criticize these maps in order to help gain an opportunity to see them in league play. Not only that, but this league gives the chance for every TF2 player to see how GOOD these maps are, and how every map developer behind every map is wholly dedicated to making the competitive scene better by constantly creating and updating new maps and iterating over their existing ones.

Our goal is to create a conversation about these maps that have been thoroughly playtested prior to this league. We hope to have them be considered for the upcoming spring/summer leagues.
