EDIT: Revived for pre season 27 map discussion

Since the conclusion of the new map cup I've been hearing alot of people chatting about the potential for some of those new maps to make it into the rotation. We have been running the exact same map rotation since season 13-15 ish (with one map being rotated out). With maps that people really enjoy playing (or seem to) and see alot of potential in like cardinal, kalinka, koth_bagel and koth_warmfront, would you be in favour of doing a major overhaul of the current map pool to include most or all of these maps?

Personally I would love to see 3 koth maps, I think having the chance to play koth only once a season seems like a weird and random situation to me (think about if CS:GO had one random Hostage map in the rotation as opposed to the regular Attack/Defend mode) and I would ether remove the mode entirely or include more maps. I think maps like badlands, granary should see their time in the rotation done as they have been included since the stone age, and I know people would like to see some unpopular maps out of the rotation (sunshine, metalworks maybe?)

I think a major map rotation revamp would be really good for "refreshing" competition per say and just bringing an overall modern and differnt feel to the upcoming seasons, and it would just be a lot more interesting to see an abundance of new maps played IMO.

example of a map list i would LOVE to see

cp_process
cp_snakewater
cp_cardinal (possibly change this one for metal)
cp_kalinka
koth_viaduct
koth_bagel
koth_warmfront
cp_gullywash

Would like to make a massive shoutout to TheFragile who continually runs this event with class and poise, its always smooth and always the best format possible for the number of teams provided. This event would literally be nothing without him and he works his ass off to get this event going for us so please if you ever get the chance, send him your sincerest thank yous!

Had a great time, anyone I met please add me on steam! http://steamcommunity.com/id/emceeLbp

Thanks mala for the cookies as per usual, thanks to my teammates for being fucking baller humans, thanks to the BLANC guys for being MEGA chill and fun to sit with (Im so sorry about your ESEA match.....) thanks to cookiejake and yomps for being great to drive with and putting up with my Old time TF2 ranting (sorry again, btw yomps tell your fam I said hi they are just lovely)

If you didn't attend this event, make an effort to come to the next one and you will NOT be disappointed.

I agree some changes need to be made to make the connecting tunnels more "interesting" but please whatever you do do NOT change the mid too much. I think it's simplicity is actually quite elegant and fun and adding more shit or more dimensions to it is not always the answer. I have been dying waiting for a map that is extremely simple in its concept and allows for matches that are won based purely off of simple decision making and team execution as opposed to the norm of strategys or outsmarting opponents per say or taking 1v1 dm fights to get a pick all the time(not the right words but, it's the best I got). I really don't think the 2nd point needs to be changed much for the same reasons, a lot of people will give you criticism based on trying to get your map to play similar the ones already in the rotation as opposed to creating a unique play style of map which I think you have done beautifully here.

Playing this map was honestly one of the funnest matches I've played in tf2 over the last 9 years I've played.

Post your teams so we can all see the groups going!

in general the big cities in Canada are, but the 3 big ones are Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. Montreal is prolly a little less multicultural than the latter but still very much so.
