I think you might of DQ'd yourself by updating after the deadline...

 

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

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

Congratulation for all  

Last picture Tangerine is almost best because it looks like realistic architecture in Philippines, Brasilia, India or Arabia and island Fuerteventura ( part of Spain ) Thanks for showing me! I thought they allow to create Filipino or Arabian architectures in Game. Since I don't know if it allows to real architecture like in Philippines than president sees Game's maps and we get punishments. Now it is okay? I know now. I will create next map for CS:GO possible

It wasn't 100% clear. We had a bunch of confused people about it.

Hey guys, 

fabE from FACEIT here! On behalf of the entire team, I wanted to congratulate everyone for participating and submitting some awesome maps, and in particular the Top 10 for some super interesting concepts and top notch execution. Really very impressed and can't wait to play them some more :-).

The next big milestone for the contest will be polishing and re-submitting the Top 10 maps by January 10th, 2018.

For this, we would like to contribute by offering the FACEIT platform, in particular a recently launched product feature: "Hubs", as a tool to the MapCore community. The MapCore Hub will serve two purposes

• Short-term: From December 18th - 22nd, MapCore and FACEIT will organise playtesting for the Top 10 Finalists of this contest. Per day, two maps will be playable on the Hub. We will update you which maps will be scheduled for which day, later this week.
• Long-term: As a community, Mapcore has a lot to offer and churns out quality content on a regular basis. The Mapcore Hub could become the outlet and platform for maps to be playtested, various sub-Hubs set up to cater for more casual or competitive users, special Hubs (Aim Map, 2v2, etc) created, and more. In the end, the direction for this can be decided by the Mapcore community and FACEIT will try to fulfil as many wishes as possible :-)

For those interested in learning more about Hubs, please check out this and this article. I'm happy to answer any questions you guys may have, too. If you want to DM me directly, hit me up on Twitter or Discord - I'm on the Mapcore server.

Cheers,

Fabian

Congrats everyone.

[Cireson]

Would be great to see the 100 point criteria for all maps that participated  

So I know whether I was close to the top then or not; and to know if fun factor, visuals, or polishing was the problem  would help a lot

[Minos]

So many good entries!!

[JimWood]

Congrats guys!

[void_23]

congrats to all map developers.i remember 2-3 more maps who were really nice too.

waiting for the winner of this contest.

Congratz to all finalist! I'm guessing this will be a photo finish

 

btw I haven't read all the comments so I'm probably not the first to say this but those screenshots of Tangerine look photo realistic  well done!
