Balance:	Is the map balanced for both teams? Are the positions and distance between points of interest fair? Does the map allow the 4 races to be balanced? Consider balance when implementing the pathing, resources, creep camps, and item drops.	50/100
Terrain:	Is the map visually pleasing in mediums of terrain, doodad placement, and overall theme? Is the map repetitive? Is the aesthetic well designed but not overly obstructive?	35/100
Creativity & Uniqueness:	Does the map bring something new or creative to the table? This should primarily refer to gameplay, but terrain may also be included.	15/100
Bugs:	Scores may be brought down if there are bug-like issues such as faulty pathing, unusable resources, etc.

Notes:

Here are the results. Maybe I'll also come up with some additonal general comments about this contest in the next days, but I think you all had to wait long enough for the results, so here you go.

I've slighlty edited Lawliets review, mainly due to him apparently using a korean file type. But I didnt make any changes to the actual content.

If you notice any mistakes (in particular in the scores) or have any questions, please tell me and /or ask. I'll try to answer soon, but sometimes it may take a few days.

Please feel invited to spread the word that the results are finally out!

Congratulations to all participants for the overall very high quality of maps, and in particular to the winners!

Great contest everyone!

Thanks for all who took the time to participate, and also for the judges and specially mafe for generally making this event happen.

The awards, reputation and green notice on the top may take a bit more time but will be dealt soon.

 

[JaleVeliki]

Wooooo! Congrats to all participants and many thanks to judges and organizers for yet another incredible and fun contest!

 

[Knecht]

Hooray! Gratz to @Mr.Henci @JaleVeliki and @Arrr
A big thank you to the judges for their time.

If I'm not mistaken first place was decided by the poll (though I'm too lazy to check the math)

 

[Rockstar356]

Congratulations to the winners!
Mr.Henci, JaleVeliki and Arrr
Deserved victory, without a doubt the best maps!

 

[Mr.Henci]

Whoa! That is a really close one, congrats @JaleVeliki ,@Arrr , judges and everybody who participated.

Finally some good news this week, at least in something I'm lucky.

 

[Heinvers]

Well done lads. Template corrected. We no longer use the old media titles btw.

Awesome works. Looking forward for the next one.

 

[FranzVader_CZ]

Well done! Congrats to all!

 

[Blood Raven]

Congratulations to the winners!
It was a fun contest, even though I couldn't take enough time to make and test my map properly, hence all the problems it has. I fucked around with the aesthetics again though, and that's what counts for me
I've updated it now to fix the most fundamental flaws if anyone's interested.
Thanks for hosting this, @mafe :3

 

[Fang]

Congrats to all participants!

 

[sentrywiz]

Congrats to all the winners! Good choice of maps

 

[FranzVader_CZ]

So what will be the next contest? ;..;

 

[fostaa]

And I am still waiting for a review of the results from the previous contest of 4x4... 'silly me'.

And I am still waiting for a review of the results from the previous contest of 4x4... 'silly me'.

I mean its cool that you're waiting. They are "probably" just busy as hell.

 

[Mr.Henci]

@FranzVader_CZ I would personaly love to see some 1v1 action again.

@fostaa ; @sentrywiz Not sure I'm following you guys. 3rd Melee mapping contest was closed months ago (Feb 2019) with results and everything,- Melee Mapping contest #3 - Results . Or is there some other problem? I'm kinda confused to be honest.

 

[sentrywiz]

@Mr.Henci @fostaa said "for a review of the results". So I got it like, he wants someone to review the results themselves.

If its not that, lol.

 

[JaleVeliki]

1v1 yes.

 

[Heinvers]

The results for the previous contest were wrapped up as @Mr.Henci mentioned beforehand. Check your sources first @fostaa before posting :]

As for this contest. We will be dealing the awards ASAP

 

[fostaa]

Check your sources first @fostaa before posting :]

I don't think there's a word for the feeling that you get when someone doesn't get your irony...

 

[Archian]

Congratulations to the winners! Some slick map balance there! And neat designs Mini maps looks great too.
