And the TS Open Map Competition Winner Is...
So, we are proud to finally announce the winner! Both Tesla7zap and Muldrake deserves my big thumbs up, since both maps were spotlighted and they'll receive a lot of prizes. These were the only maps that scored above 75%, so they are really special!
Anyway, the winner is TESLA7ZAP! He won the TS Open Map Competition for the second time! He's the best Open Map Competition contestant from our history! In the first edition, he won with the map Tiber River scoring 81%. The map was very well done, offered a fantastic lighting and an excelent job with triggers. In the second edition, he submited the map "The Pit", getting the third place with also an spotlighted map.
The map he submited for this edition is called Contagium. It features an amazing lighting, detailing and a great use of triggers. It was considered the most ballanced map from the contest and got the best eye candy as well. Fantastic 6 players map, clearly made by a winner! Honestly, my favourite map as well.

The second place is Muldrake! He is a tallented voxeller and mapper for Tiberian Sun Retro and he's also helping the guys from Tiberium Odyseey.
Muldrake's map is FS Phoenix, a very nice and fun map, featuring a good detailing and a very nice use of trigger. It has an interesting city in the center protected by Firestorm walls. However, the cities has some proposital flaws that allows players to pass through it and kill civilians. It also has some special sectors in the map that allow players to capture some goodies.
