Counter-Strike Sponsored Annual Mapping Contests

[mary]

Title is pretty self exlanatory! This is a pretty major suggestion so I expect to receive several counter arguments but overall I can't see a scenario where this would actually be unsuccessful unless nobody participated.

Edgegamers’ annual cs2 jailbreak mapping comp with a $100 prize would be a clean move to unite our community. It calls mappers to craft new hammer levels pulling global talent. Gamebanana’s past contests drew creators from europe to australia—we’d follow the path they laid for us. By linking players and designers.

(not much, I know but to us it is a lot. And people just like to win things)

Possible benefits

1. Tightens community
2. Contest hype
3. New maps designed for CS2
4. Community outreach & advertisement

Possible drawbacks

1. Expenses
2. Running the show
3. Potential for intellectual theft or wrongdoing, harming the hosts image

Previous contest maps that we use:

1. jb_arcade
2. jb_augment
3. jb_chickenisland
4. jb_glow
5. jb_overcooked
6. jb_spacemario
7. jb_tropico
