[CS:GO] Exotic Places Contest TOP 4 WINNERS

[Wintrius]

This was a big surprise (besides Anubis getting first of course). I was confident Swamp and Mustang would make the top four, but I guess I was wrong. Congratulations to all the winners!

 

Although Victoria did not win, I have joined @synkope to perfect the map. Look out for future updates!

Awesome work everyone! The community once again proved that they can map better than Valve.

Big congrats to top 4, well deserved! Definitely some other maps that could have made it as well. 

@Wintrius That is really good news, Victoria is not there yet but with some updates it can be great.

Contratulations to the winners! With so many great maps in the top10, almost none of them would be surprising to be featured in the top4. This contest has produced an incredible amount of great maps. Glad to see it rewarded for some! Well done everybody!

Contratulations to everyone who participated. The bar was set even higher this time and the ammount of quality maps is incredible. This time I couldn't even put my finger on top 6 yet alone top 4. I guess the judges had a very hard time with so many great maps.

Thanks to everyone involved with organizing the contest,  people that took care of the faceit hubs for the entire contest  (you guys are  the quiet heroes) and everyone who helped to deliver great maps either with their feedback, running playtests or with words of encouragement

Congratulations to the top 4 and all the others. I hope you will improve your amazing maps and one day maybe see it in a operation. I had a lot of fun playing these maps and participating in this contest. I learned a lot and i hope i can use all this new experience in my future maps.

Congratulations to the top 4!

I totally thought, Mustang would rank higher though.

When will the scores published?

I doubt they will. they've not been in the past. If you want feedback on your project speak to the judges.

They should and they have the permission to do so. Edit{ Right now I am more interested in the score of all participants - especially the top 22- than my own.}

Transparency is very important for a contest.

Transparency of what? arbitrary scores? if the judges post their score it becomes a mess of 'well how could this map get X points more than this in this category!!'

the gradings are basically made up of imperfect subjective opinions, nothing is gained from releasing scores. One of the judges released his scores and it led to half day bitchfest about it.

Good point, never thought about that. At the end it doesnt matter, feedback would be more appricitated and think we can ask for that ourselfs at the judges
