3v3 Tournament Map Pool Survey

[robo]

Hello friends. If there were to be a large 3v3 tournament hosted in the near future, featuring Fixed Positions (Pocket is always p5 & 6, flanks are always p1/3 & 2/4 but they are randomly placed on a side) & a starting sheep, what maps would you like to see played??

Here is a nice survey that I would like to use to gather some opinions/data, but please also share your opinion/have a discussion here.

Spoiler: starter map pool

1 Arabia
2 Arena / Arina
3 Baltic
4 Bedouins
5 Black Forest
6 Chaos Pit
7 Cross
8 Decentring
9 Golden Pit
10 Land Nomad
11 Mesas
12 Migration
13 Nomad
14 Regicide Fortress
15 Scandinavia
16 Team Islands / Islands
17 Team Acropolis
18 Twin Puddles
19 Valley

These maps are not intended to necessarily be a final map pool, rather be the starting point of a discussion and generate useful feedback.

Survey link once again.

3v3 Map Survey

If there were to be a 3v3 tournament with fixed positions (the pocket is always a single colour, and the flanks are randomly decided which side they are on) what do you think of these maps?

[nimanoe]

Hideout

 

[teutonic_tanks]

Dry River would be nice

also the mappool somehow reminds me of a certain torunament 2 years ago

I have no idea what you mean

 

[green eggs]

Sahara, Oasis, and Budapest would be cool. The more open land maps the better.

 

[green eggs]

Oh and Steppe!

 

[TriRem]

Adriatic, Mirage and Desert Slope were my votes.

Can't follow you. The only reasonable maps for a 3vs3 version of Gladiators of Arena would be Arena and Arina.

Is there a version of Coast to Mountain already, where 1 player starts on the mountain, one in the middle and one at the coast?
I think this could be really cool..

 

[chrummi]

yeah cost to mountain is a really nice map, id love to see it played more often.

 

[Holleridudodel]

I'd really like to see one game per set with a different gamemode. Having one game DM in MSC has been super refreshing (as a viewer atleast).
I'd love to see one game ctr. this should favour great team play

maps I would enjoy:

coast to mountain
metropolis, budapest or other multiple tc starts
two rivers
enemy archipelago
frontline
serengeti
sahara

Would definitely be a great use of fixed positions. Not only are teams picking flanks and pockets but they also have to choose which of their players they prefer to have focusing on water, land etc. A whole set of special team maps could probably be designed around fixed roles like that.

[...]flanks are always p1/3 & 2/4 but they are randomly placed on a side[...]

I guess I like what you're saying but enabling teams to choose exactly where their flanks are going is gonna end up in a war of counterpicks I feel like. (for example p1 always fights p6 color and p3 always fights p4 color) This could be sort of controlled with a draft for color maybe (similar to MobA games where you pick Toplane, Midlane and Botlane)

 

[NachoAoE]

Incredible how when I watch the tourneys I used to watch only half of the game if it was BF/LN , but now since it's been so much time I kinda of miss it, and would definitely watch it entirely 11, Sling Pers to full elephants was a thing, wasn't it ?

Thanks for the poll robo <3

 

[nC_Andorin]

3v3 again, ResidentSleeper.
Hideout, Ghostlake and Oasis would be nice.

 

[Chrazini]

It would have to be maps where the positions of the players play a significant role in the games. I recently made the maps for MembTV Showmatch with fixed positions, and those maps, in particular, worked exceptionally well for that setup.
If you're going for the good ol' standard maps, then I can't help a lot; however, we have a decently sized map-making community that creates unique maps that are just waiting to be experienced by tournament hosts, tournament viewers and pro players alike.

Needless to say, I'm incredibly biased - but I think new and exciting maps have so much more potential than the repetitive map list above. And I'm not talking brand new - I'm hyped to see Dry River get so much attention these days as it's a relatively new map with some unique possibilities.

So u can choose where u spawn, u can make maps with different starting ressources and overall layout for players in a team; so u can choose your civ for e.g. open/more closed starting areas and for starting arreas with a lot of gold, but very less wood and stone or water etc...

How does fixed positions work on nomad 11

 

[Tuunbaq]

Homeland. It was played in WiC iirc?
Was a fun map, BF like.

[Faraday]

Gold Rush (fixed positiion, gold centralized , gold more spread a bit)
Migration
Sahara

It doesn't, nomad maps would still play out as normal.

 

[Roechelrochen]

Desert, Oasis instead of Black Forest, and Coast to Mountains are maps I'd like to see as well.
