Grotto : WTF AGAIN I have nothing about these map , they are all good looking but Where these are from ? So if i understand , Forge Hub is putting map from nowhere ?
They were created by the staff/established forgers and were not submitted to for the contest. It was pretty clear that not every map from the tournament would be a map submitted for the contest.
The Smackdown tournament is using both maps from the community and Staff/Artisan made maps. Rest assured, every map that has been chosen for this tournament has been tested, tweaked, built and re-built to provide the best possible experience for the tournament. The maps are being posting in a specific order to insure the most balanced, yet diverse, schedule for the maps from the plethora of available maps that haven't been released yet. So in short, the maps that you're seeing in the tournament are either the community made maps, or pre-designed maps.
