Are you serious? All the wst please... :D

Does being good on the old map really qualify for having a good match on the new one?

Anyways, I'd like to take part :) (I think dariv wants, too, we were on the same team in "old" wst)

I wouldn't mind but sounds good to me... (nobody can forbid it anyway I think)

I just meant that semis and finals is what people watch, and that'd be more fun with this map.

No but I think it's important that people who are experienced with the old map approve of the new one before we can consider changing.

Can we try to get that match scheduled for a certain time? I am very interested in seeing it in action.

Here is the recording with one of my favorite songs put in the background for some enjoyment.
Of course I couldn't play over the fps drop but there it is to see the spawns and casual play of 2v2 and 2v3 in the map. (Couldn't get 3v3 sadly).

The recording doesn't really show the gameplay very well without 3 people on each team... But funny to watch.

I think it's weird that the two outer players directly face each other and start so close to each other. I would start them facing away from each other. On the other hand, using a map like this really changes the zone dynamics. Normal WST's seem to always start half/half - this map changes that.

I must say it looks pretty good. So would anyone be interested in playing in a test tourney before we hold a vote to see if we are going to change the map or not?
