The maplist for ESEA s26 (this season) is currently filled with a bunch of outdated maps, so much so that it is actually a regression from last season's maplist. Below are the list of updates to the pool that should be done:
- cp_metalworks_rc7 -> cp_metalworks
Not only is it a stock map, requiring no extra work to add to the servers, the stock map was the version that was used last season.
- cp_granary_pro_rc4 -> cp_granary_pro_rc8
Also was the map used last season, and is an objectively better map with the additional garage entrance.
- cp_snakewater_u13 -> cp_snakewater_final1
As far as I know, the u14 changes have been incorporated into final1 (the stock map). On top of that, etf2l is using final1 this season so it would be nice to use the same version, regardless if final1 is u13 or u14.
- cp_badlands -> cp_prolands_b2c
The only (possibly) controversial map change. Prolands removes dumb clipping/spots that screw with rockets and also increases the second forward respawn time, giving a bit more time for teams to be able to push out of last with only a pick or two before the players respawn. Some hiding spots were removed (and a couple have been inadvertently added afaik), but the two previous points make prolands a much more appealing choice over stock badlands.

I'm working on getting the map list fixed asap. We won't be running prolands this season since I'm not sure if everyone prefers that version quite yet.

please, i just want to push out of last. I'm sure any player with a brain would agree that prolands is just better.

should just ask invite captains
imo prolands has huge potential but current implementation went too far and introduced unintended glitches (in addition to other questionable decisions like removing the crack on spire and ledge on batts which among other spots)
