[Applied] Scrim With Custom Maps

[Atrix]

It would be normal scrim but would allow a higher player count for more people and of course custom maps. Maps could be voted/picked out by the community. Probably just some competitive maps off gamebanana that look like fun. There really isn't much else to explain, its scrim on non Valve developed maps. Scrim events always seem to do really well and I think they are lots of fun.

This gives me nightmares when we had de_mill_b2 and the other one. I'd be down to play some community-made competitive maps in a scrim game with others again.

If someone from the events team wants to run this event I'll be fine to get the server set for it.

@Atrix you got any map suggestions?

Some fun looking ones.

Here's a bunch of maps too. Nipper has classic maps and these are personal favorites of mine, @Black Rain can back me up on how fun these are.

And then some of his maps I haven't played that look fun.

Honestly with these maps I suggested, I guess for the future: these maps alone that I suggested we could have a time period of like a weekend (or a whole week) where we swap out our normal map pool and play Nipper's maps. You just have to play these to experience these to know what's up... also S U R R E A L I S M. (if this gets lost i'll prob just toss a thread out in the future)

I'm totally on board with this idea, but why not go for some more polished an balanced maps? There's plenty of maps that have previously been featured in competitive by Valve or that have won various mapping contests that I think would be a good fit. Maybe Tulip, Santorini, Biome? Players might be somewhat familiar with these maps, making them easier to play on without practice, and have a fair bit more polish and balancing than gamebanana randos. Might be a bit closer to what scrim regs would go for, but I'm not sure.

you had me at Nipper maps

 

 

 

Looooong time ago I had a few events on Scrim where I used to do a throwback to operation maps and kept them on rotation for a weekend so people could try them out and see if they enjoyed playing them. Dunno if that interests anyone though and if Trazz would want to attempt that.

With everyone being in quarantine and this impromptu summer vacation I may actually start doing this. But if I actually want people to try those maps out I’d need to remove the default valve ones as everyone will choose mirage, cache, or inferno over anything else for the most part. I do not see this being a weekend long though (maybe a day event per map?) as players who go on scrim that I’ve seen recently are not there to try new maps all the time but go for what’s familiar. So I do not want to limit people from playing a normal scrim game if they want to.
