The Season 3 Custom Map Poll [Link] is over and we have two winners which will be included to Season 3 Map Pool: ctf_mach4 (43%) and cp_labor (42%).

Due to the public whine we decided to split Season 3 Map Pool in two different spots. All regular played maps can be picked three times, unregular clanwar maps can only be picked once.

Season 3 Map Pool

Primary Map Pool – every map can be picked three times

• cp_badlands
• cp_gravelpit
• cp_pro_granary
• cp_well
• ctf_turbine

Secondary Map Pool – every map can be picked once

• cp_dustbowl
• cp_fastlane
• (cp_freight_b3)
• cp_labor
• ctf_2fort
• ctf_mach4
• ctf_well
• pl_goldrush

Note 1: Participants of Freight-1-Day-Cup [Link] will decide if cp_freight_b3a will be added to the Map Pool.

Note 2: Map Picks will start on 20^th August.

If your team is still interested in joining Season 3, Sign-Ups are open for 3 more days, grab one of the last spots (see “Sign-Up Newspost” [Link] for more details).
