The judges must have made quite a dent in their chairs.

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%.

Patent Pending definitely deserved to win, but I loved Edifice. So i'm glad that was up there.

A big congratulations to the winners, and of course to everyone else who entered the competition!

I don't think I can open Portal 2 for at least 6 months now....

MrTwoVideocard Will become MrThree
Grats for the winners, I somewhat guessed the same result.
I also guess judges will not rush to play the new post-contest uploads

Congrats to everyone who won, and I know I was excited to participate in this contest and it actually led to me working on another map.

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?

Oh wow, so I just played Patent Pending. Could not agree more, it seems almost like an official Valve map.

Big congrats.

Congratulations to the two grand-prize folks + the other runners-up! There were some great maps in this competition, and you guys's were definitely some of the best.

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.

I wonder how much tougher would it have been to judge the contest with more coop maps, being that 2 people have to play through them.
