The NxM Cup Goes Raw

image: xfirelogo

Tonight sees the second round of action in Group B of the NxM Cup. As the newly formed uQ Gaming team look to prove that they can live up to their predecesors. Though this competition got off to a bad start for uQ, with a default loss to Poland WoW in the first round leaving them languishing down at the foot of the table. They face a Finish team who are also desperate to pick up points after an opening round defeat to Italy n1ce.

The NxM Cup is unique in its foresight, based around a refreshing map list including the likes of Adlernest_b7, Braundorf_b4 and Raw_te.

With tonight showcasing Raw_te live on ETTV. Will this map prove good enough for competition play?

Cup admin NxM had this to say about the inclusion of Raw_te

Before the Cup was announced I tested it with NightRaver and FlyingDJ and we all agreed it had enough potential to be at least tested in the Cup. It's a nice map with multiple attack routes and the possibility for diverse tactics.

uQ`Sexyhot is of this opinion
QuoteRaw_te is a really small map, and seems relatively easy to defend. Allies can only attack from 2 sides to get the docs. 6 man defense will be close together and strong, a really spammy map.

My opinion? It's small, compact and spammy. It'll no doubt make a great map for 3v3, where issues such as mines aren't a problem - but it needs some major changes to be suitable for 6v6 play.

It must be emphasized that although the map name is “_te” it is actually the first beta of the map. With the latest release being raw_b3, which you can download here
