I contemplated whether to make this topic at the very start of Syc's Team17 cup. Then later it was specified it was open map, and that prompted me to ask the question why do some people prefer open maps for Team17? I wished to understand why, and so far I have received a fair amount of reasons here and there and I get it I sympathize with both sides. The question becomes if I am willing to roll over and adapt myself to this new way.
If more people in the future will ask for Island Teqm17 instead of the traditional map, then the latter may phase out in favor of the former. If I for example would host a Team17 and someone would join and ask for Island, and I would say ''no'' then this person could leave. It could be like e.g: I host a Shopper on a Roper map, or a Roper on a Shopper map. I guess no one would play a roper on a shopper map? I know I wouldn't.
Yes I know it is a game and people should play how they like that's fine and all. BUT in general term. there has to be some standards set for those who prefer such. That's why maybe I think Island Team17 needs its own name to help separate itself from the traditional Team17, Island17 e.g.
When it comes to this cup I think the turnout is great and I am happy to see this sort of engagement in the community. So kudos to Syc
I meant no disrespect.
