No offense to the map makers, but what was Blizz thinking? Why not just declare Nexus Wars the winner three times -- That's basically what won.
They encouraged "the next dota", creative and unique games. Then these maps won.
3 judges judging over 1500 submission, I think I would not make a wise decision in time. (btw there are currently 3 featured maps on NA server without any annoucement, pretty sure they want to mess everything up. )
Have you played either of the maps? The MAD one does look like a standard hero arena (looks polished, but generally not too exciting), but Photon Command is semi-unique
I still expect better and more original maps given the efforts from all mapmaker's submission I have seen and $5000 on the line. They just seem to select 3 map in whatever way they want to get it in time for preparation for blizzcon, its just that disappointing.
Defend from a wave of enemy unit, buy upgrade to survive, how can that be original ?
I saw better maps sent for the contest than those 2.
Also its just sad to pick 2 mouse control map and none of it a real 3d/fps mouse control map.
It also clearly shows content doesnt matter, just the look out be nice.
I dont want to bash the winners. ( I want to bash blizzard... I am hearing more and more map makers give up on making map in this stupid popularity system)
have you seen the new featured map, needless to talk about its fun factor (if there is one) it's not even in English... nuff said. What are they smoking @ blizzard i don't know... They better announce some huge changes to the custom game scene at blizzcon.

Are you guys sure you should be newsing the blizzcon winners before they are announced at blizzcon...
Couldnt this disqualify the winners?
Not at this point... They won.. Already have the blizzcon ticket in hand ect ect =)

Wanna start a thread bashing the winners....
I wonder if sixen is going to try to get an interview with them...
Errr can't get a hold of him >.<

Sc2mapster booth would have been awesome indeed... I bet curse has something going on ( other than the VIP party)

Mebe... But Rocket Arena is quite polished from the videos I've seen... not sure about the other one; we'll have to see what the other 3 maps are too.
FYI I didn't enter the contest.
And someone from blizzcon let me know how the cine contest entries were (were any blizzard game machinima). I entered that one...
