The Hive Cup 2021 - NOW LIVE!

[frostwhisper]

The Hive Cup 2021 is now underway!​

Sponsored by @Nightmare2077 this two-part contest involves designing competitive 1v1 melee maps, at least 5 of which will be used in the Hive's annual tournament.​

In the first part of the competition, contestants are tasked with creating a brand new 1v1 melee map or nominating an existing one of their own design. Any entry must not have been used for any previous Hive contest. Hop over to the Arena and join the fray!

Once the map pool has been chosen, the preliminary rounds will commence. The top 4 players from last year's tournament will be invited along with 4 more selected through 4 open qualifiers, culminating in an 8-player battle for the title in December. NOTE: the preliminary format is not finalized and is subject to change. Contestants will be notified appropriately.

Participants in the Hive Cup tournament will be competing for a prize pool of €500+, as well as an eternal place in Warcraft and Hive history!

Sounds fun, if only I knew literary anything about melee maps.

Glad to be a part of this event, as always
Last year's Tidehunters, Shatter Exile and Shallow Grave made it to competitive ladder play! So these contests have truly wide-reaching consequences

To participate in the first part, do I only have to create the map and upload in the maps section linking it to this tournament? I would very much like to be able to contribute a 1v1 map.

Regards.

Correct! Just submit it to the maps section and then link it in the contest thread. There's a full list of rules in that post too!

I hope that finally somebody will make melee maps with our dwarven models and build dwarven techtree)

I think its self evident that this is about melee and not altered melee.
