Hello! So i've decided to compete in this tournament. I don't have a mood board at the moment, but i can give you a little back story.

"The map is set in a old/poor Russian city, where the terrorist are trying to take over the city. While the police where on their everyday stroll around the city, they decided to check an alleyway leading to a parking lot and some houses. When they had turned into the parking lot, their car was hit by an oncomin car. The policemen don't survive but neither does the car driver. Turns out that the terrorists had something to do with the crash. Now they are planning to plant a bomb, either in an apartment building full of civilians or on the main street, which would cause chaos over the city and give terrorist an advantage. But the SWAT team from couple cities over has been called in to deal with them. Under whose control do you want to be, make your choice." 

I'm not sure if I will be able to finish this map and make it the theme I wanna make, but at the moment it looks like it is going to be on heck of a 39 hours!

Hello, once again. I've managed to complete this map to a point that i'm fine with. The backstory has changed a little so i'll rewrite it. 

"The map is set in a old/poor Russian city, where the terrorist are trying to take over the city. While the police where on their everyday stroll around the city, they decided to check an alleyway leading to a parking lot and some warehouses. When they had turned into the parking lot, their car was hit by an oncomin car. The policemen don't survive but neither does the car driver. Turns out that the terrorists had something to do with the crash. Now they are planning to plant a bomb, either in a huge warehouse, full of supplies or on the main street, which would cause chaos over the city and give terrorist an advantage. But the SWAT team from couple cities over has been called in to deal with them. Under whose control do you want to be, make your choice."

This map has been my first 5v5 map and i'm pretty happy with how it turned out, taking into consideration that i did it in about 5 days! I hope you enjoy the map!

Looks like the bombsites are too close to T Spawn, while it might be an interesting thing to test in gameplay it doesn't do well competitively. I'd also suggest changing the lines of sight down middle and the main bombsite entrances, they're too simple and while they serve their purpose they don't add anything else. Keep twisting and changing everything until you have many different areas that compliment each other.

Also take a look at the other maps here in the forums to get a good idea on how everyone makes their layouts work, mapping is a lot of fun but a ton of brain work. Looking forward to updates!

Hello! Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I know that the timings aren't the best and I wanted to fix it but i didn't have the time or skill do to so. And also the radar isn't the most accurate so the map is a little more complicated then it might seem!
