Round 5 of Reflex Race World Cup has finished! Participants had 1 week to grind and submit a replay on a brand new map, "Helicity" by Donny and Ultra. Please see below for a stream and end results of all the ranked replays that were submitted. They also made a really cool "Making Of..." video for their map. If you're curious the amount of time/effort that goes into making these maps, make sure you to check that out!!!
Round 6 starts tomorrow, 05:30 CDT, 9 July 2018! The map is "Cloister" by the Reflex prodigy Sharqosity. Participants have until 18:00 CDT, 14 July 2018 to submit their replays. Like last time, there will be a stream on the following day to reveal the results and show everyone's submissions.
Not many comments but it's getting a good amount of viewers during and after stream for a Reflex event. The Discord is also very active. I'm pretty surprised since it's a niche of a niche of a niche.
A little bit of each. Reflex race is like 80-90% strafe maps which doesn't leave a lot of design space to make maps interesting for spectators.
For spectators, it probably wasn't the best idea to ban preruns for the event. (The majority of people asked for it though).
That being said, a lot of things, if not most of the things, are going perfectly fine. It's been a good event so far! I just hope breaker is going to make it a bit more thrilling towards the end.
