I'm not sure how many of you have fond memories of the old map selection process with the hologram at the center of the players. For those who are unfamiliar or simply want to relive the nostalgia, let me take you back:

In the past, during events, the map selection animation was a mesmerizing sight, with a stunning hologram right in the middle of the players. It was a spectacle that added excitement and anticipation to the whole experience.

However, as time passed, from event to event, it seems like the map selection animation lost some of its charm. In 2022, it had already downgraded to a simple display on the wall, losing some of the magic that the hologram once brought:

And now, to our disappointment, they are only showing the teams themselves while they select the map. The captivating visual element we once loved has disappeared entirely, leaving us with a rather lackluster experience:

It's evident that the map selection process has been declining in its visual appeal, and it's understandable that this might leave many of us feeling disappointed.
So, what are your thoughts on this?
Do you miss the old hologram-based map selection, or do you think the current approach has its merits? Let's hear your opinions on the matter.

bu doğru, ben oradayken (optic vs drx lower bracker finali) kalabalık da çok iyiydi ve iyi bir atmosferi vardı.

that's right, when i was there (optic vs drx lower bracker final) the crowd was also very good and it had a good atmosphere.

It's kinda weird that pacific brought back the holograms for agent selection but not the maps
