Excellent choices! Altho i honestly thought Delta Bunsen would win... and i still think he at least deserved 2nd place. But that's just my opinion...
It was my opinion too, but that's the great thing about having 13 judges - no one person's decision can make or break the outcome. I only gave two Perfect 5's, to Delta Bunsen and to One In The Chamber, and neither of them ended up in the final top 2%.

Heh, just reading that made my day regardless
It was a great competition, and i'll be looking forward to the next one.
Congratulations to the winners!
I don't think I can open Portal 2 for at least 6 months now....

Grats for the winners, I somewhat guessed the same result.
I also guess judges will not rush to play the new post-contest uploads
Was a great contest guys, had a lot of fun! Hope to see more in the future. 
I hope this contest inspired a few other people to being mapping and hopefully it leads to some even more epic maps.
Cant wait to see what Valve will do with the winners. Hopefully this will lead into some sort of official support in the game to make custom maps easier to find/play.
BTW, did I read somewhere that Valve was gonna port these to the 360 and ps3 or was that just about including support for all maps to be playable on the 360 and ps3?
Big congrats.
I confess though that I never solved chamber 3 of Patent Pending ... gonna have to go back to it!

It would have been great to see a coop map come in the top 5, but the SP maps were fantastic! Great work everyone!
I'm gonna make a thread about this at some point soon. I really wish there was more Coop maps overall. We only had like 25% of entries be Coop.
And many thanks to the contest organizers and judges for making the whole thing happen. I don't envy the job you guys had.
