G'day Forts fans!With the recently released Firebird DLC, we dedicated our 7th official map making competition to the creation of new 2v2 Firebird environment maps, to help populate the map pool. Our judges and community had to select 3 finalists for the livestream out of the 20 entries received. The winning maps were announced, with some pro players showcasing them with a few matches each. The winning maps were quite spectacular for this 7th competition. Congratulations to Pile Rouillée, winner of Forts Map Making Contest VII! Fulminator's City 2v2 will be added into the base game map pool as will Lighthouse 2v2 from runner-up Dranistian and Stone Forest from third place winner juNyu.
