We've seen nothing that seems to suggest that it's not.
When Undead "released" the map, he and various other competitive players from different teams (including myself and yopa) played several games on it to test the quality of the map and the flow of the gameplay in both 2v2 and 3v3 scenarios. The significant majority of the feedback on this map was incredibly positive, so much so that there was even a petition for Larry to add the map to the AC Christmas Cup's map pool.
Sorry, my question was not clear enough, the map is kinda ready to play but what I wanted to ask was more about what Undead stated, the map isn't finished yet because there are still many little fixes to apply before it's theorically perfect. Apparently it isn't finished.

I would really know what a "metagame" is for you. The map has been tested my the competitive scene itself and it was also aproved and tagged as "ready to play in a competitive league". I know it's the first time it appears in AC history but there are first times to everything. I also think you shaked more the competitive scene of this game than nobody will ever be able to do. The following words aren't mine:
Quote:I perfectly remembered how the matches were in 1.04, and most of all, i remember the spirit of the game as very different from now. Also, i agree with you about blaming jason and larry. Me and Panda were among the first to face epic, and we were since the first days extremely disappointed by their attitude. Their depot games looked more tsurv than ctf. It was because of them that Panda left ac. We were playing BC, MCMMN, MA in funny and competitive games full of challenging situations and so on, playing vs epic/legacy became so bad that we decided to stop accepting clanwars. problems for mys arrived when jason and larry teached to @cid how to win a game and al mys were forced to play accordingly to this gamestyle. This is the reason why i left MyS.
So it would be good this time that you stop ignoring what I say and at least give a little interest to what I am trying to tell you, I know the truth is hard to accept in your little world, but believe it or not, your meta is based on the common acceptance of the competitive scene to apply a filter on official CTF maps and official CTF maps only, this is broken for two reasons because 1. it is not accepting a map accordingly to it's playability in 3vs3 matches as the unique factor and 2. devs are not officializing maps accordingly to it's playability in 3vs3 matches. This ends with only a very few playable and mostly biased/unfair maps in matches, plus, maps who were intentionally made for matches does not always fit devs' requirements to add these maps in the official packages.
You should seriously stop with your stucked meta and try to have a more open thoughts toward future events.
