So I've been running the New Map Pugs group since February (October if you count the ones sponsored by Power Pugs). Since then, we have determined maps that are ESEA-ready.
Well, a map.
It's cp_edifice, an A/D map similar in layout to Gravel Pit (as of this post, latest version is cp_edifice_b3_test1).
Since we believe this map to be ESEA-ready, we'd like teams of all levels to start scrimming it. Having coherent teams test maps instead of testing maps in pugs will allow major flaws to be found that can't be easily tested in a pug setting. Think Ashville: it was tested extensively prior to being voted in. However, teams did not take the time to scrim the map prior to voting it in, so we ended up with one of the worst maps to ever be in the rotation.
So I request that every team, from Invite to Open, test this map. Of course, the best feedback will come from high IM and Invite teams (6 of which really can't scrim new maps right now), but it's best if feedback comes from all levels. So, even if your team went 0-12 in Open or is just starting this next season, please scrim Edifice.
Also, scrim the latest test version of Metalworks (latest: cp_metalworks_rc3_test2).
Thanks.

Pugs have been fun to test the maps but they are still just pugs. If we set minds to this purpose we might have a whole new balanced and neat stopwatch map for next season.

Edifice is probably the only custom A/D map I have played and haven't hated. We need more A/D.

Also, if you're scrimming or testing Edifice in any way, please feel free to leave feedback in its thread (http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/5542-cp-edifice) as the layout is not final until we say it is! I'll be constantly updating the map as time progresses to hopefully make it ready for whatever comes its way.

Played it a few times in New Map Pugs, Edifice is basically gravelpit only not stale as well as hated. It works in pugs, and it's not 5cp. How does that NOT qualify it?

Please don't. That's worse than testing maps in pugs.
