    Mapcore contests earn mappers thousands of dollars, promote their work, and provide a well-deserved platform for their excellent levels. Teaming up with FACEIT, we've offered contestants the biggest mapping contest in Counter-Strike history!

    Thanks to FACEIT and to all participants. Your combined efforts are part of a long journey of growth and practice. At Mapcore, we intend to hold more contests and continue being a positive, engaging, helpful environment for all members seeking to improve and grow.

    What's Next?

    In one month, 4 of these 10 maps will be selected as Grand Finalists by our Mapcore Judges and Guest Experts! We look forward to seeing all of the community feedback, iteration, and improvements awaiting these brilliant maps.

    Believe we finished with 100 participants. Give or take, there were a few entries we had to disqualify but not that many.

    Really proud of MapCore for always delivering, this was a new crowd of folks though, new names here so congrats everyone.

    Great quality content in some of this maps. We could have an awesome new operation with finalist+de_grind+de_subzero. I'll be waiting for the playtest on the 18th, and keep us informed about the updates, finalists!

    Ok so there's this point on the rules page:

    Quote from MapCore

    On 5/23/2017 at 12:51 PM, MapCore said: Changes or updates to Workshop maps will not be considered after November 30, 2017 (for Top 10) and January 10, 2018 (for Top 4).

    Idk about you, but I read that has:

    "We will not judge the map based on updates you do after the deadline."


    Not: "You will get disqualified if you update your map after the deadline"

    I was actually satisfied with the version I had at the deadline - I wasn't trying to cheat or anything by updating afterwards, I was improving it because I was 100% sure this was allowed.... wtf

    'Grats to all the finalists.


    To those who didn't get selected, better luck next time. I suggest looking to the community for feedback rather than the judges. Looking at it purely as a numbers game, it's just unrealistic to expect them to provide any kind of meaningful comment on 100 submissions.

    Seriously MikeGon ? How are they going to judge the version you've overwritten with an update?

    In my opinion, the real and final judge is the time. Those whose maps are still played and popular around the world, years after they released them, those are the real winners. Places in a contest and money are irrelevant.

    If it's about my comment too I'm talking about finalists.

    Well I thought they would pick them up on the day of the deadline... and then not pick up the updates

    I guess I'm dumb but that's what I thought the whole time
