There is not much time left before the New Year's release, but even during this short weekend the mappers created new content for us, introducing two community maps: hb_babe by CD2333 and abu_hb_hamma by abubas. Around the miniature castle on hb_babe there are cozy houses, between which bhop paths of medium difficulty wind. At the same time, abu_hb_hamma, starting with bhop sections in a rocky fissure covered with greenery, in the depths of the caves turns into slide, and then into small climb stages, ending with an unusually designed final room (it’s difficult to understand from the screenshots, you will understand what I mean when you reach the end). Comments on the maps were given by edZika and abubas, difficulty was tested by hfour and TyIIIkA (if you have problems on the spiral slide on abu_hb_hamma, just try to use the cave wall as an intermediate stage). Enjoy the game everyone!

Date and time:
December 23, 18:00 Moscow time (UTC+3) [finished]

Stream #1 ( MEDVDED_EBUN in Russian): https://www.youtube.com/@KZRush
Stream #2 ( PMSA in Chinese): https://live.douyin.com/939136718214

Cup donators: dislike (100$) and koala (270$).

Based on the results topoviygus receives 250$ as the winner, and PMSA gets 120$.

Thanks to donators and players for a great event!

This Saturday, December 23, at 18:00 Moscow time (UTC+3) there will be a battle between topoviygus and PMSA on hb_dislike_d, hb_all1aNce and hb_mekko. There will be a separate newspost about this, but you can already stock up on popcorn :)

Meanwhile /mute menu on our server was modified, so it can mute specific person not in the text chat only, but in the voice chat as well (other players will still hear him). Thanks to bORN2MAKEPORN and Counterparts for their help with testing.

Besides at my request developers of ReGameDLL and ReAPI added the ability for using AXN on servers, however it's accompanied by lags similar to those you see while using 100aa on main servers. In this regard, I added AXN maps for passing only to the VIP servers. If this problem is ever resolved by the developers, AXN maps will become available on all servers.

And finally let's add maps from latest cosy map releases:

Hard maps
5oXen_vvn1ght_v27

5oXen_vvn1ght_v8

5oXen_vvn1ght_v25

lmx_greenhops - too short
ty_speedoz - too short
ty_parkovka - too short

Perhaps we will see a few more matches before the New Year :)
