As you might have read, ESL lately announced that they will run two Canyon premierships in February and March. In order to give all mappers plenty of time to create their maps (and the testers to test), they've decided to release the maprequest now.

Because of the limited amount of admins they have, they're also looking for map testers to help out to select the best maps. In the forumtopic there is more information on both subjects, though also feel free to check out the newspost over on ESL!

Ah, the latter half of November. Christmas lights are up (but haven't been switched on yet), leaves fall from the trees, it's Christmas in the malls (or is about to be)... What a great time to plot stuff right?

Oh, the header. Don't mind us, we are plotting something for this year's Christmas season. Stay tuned...

P.S.: You totally shouldn't donate planets to "adventcalendar"

EDIT (nov-23): huh, what's this?
NOT A TEASER

The submission phase for MTC November 1x1 will end in one week. Thus there is still plenty of time for you to join the fun and build and submit your map.

As you might have read, ESL has recently announced that they will run a Go4 for TM2 Stadium, from December until end of February. Since this period exactly meets the next Competition Premiership season, they've decided that it's the logical thing to use the same maps for both tournaments.

Because of that, they are looking for the community to create lots of Stadium techmaps, in order for them to be able to use the best maps available for both tournaments.

MX didn't have a lot of background changes lately (except for today) because fitting background picture are hard to find.
That's why I want to call your attention to this topic, so we can all together create or find good screenshots for the background.
The same background for years is boring!

EDIT: The search is over! A judging sheet is being prepared
