This Cup of the Day was Controversial...

Yesterday it was time for the 3rd out of 12 "Neo Cupra" Maps! 
"Neo Cupra" is a series of 12 maps coming from a cooperation between Nadeo and the car-deliverer Cupra. Cupra decided to partner up with them for doing some advertisement in Trackmania by hiring some amazing TrackMania creators like Florenzius, MCYC and Nightwolf to build 12 amazing maps which will all be played in Cup of the Day in a bi-weekly rythm. Additionally, all of these maps are entirely free-to-play!
This certain map is map 3/12 and in general there is one word that describes this map the best: Controversial! THe map was very unique in its style and felt very different to your usual cup of the day maps. It had parts that you never ever see on the typical maps such as a long reactor flight, a tough speed check and and also the one or other rather unsmooth transition. But all of these parts are actually what I love about the map, it just feels different to your standard and honestly rather boring cup of the day maps.
But what made this map controversial then? Well, the main aspect is the difficulty. Since everyone that downloaded the game was able to participate in this cup, people expected a beginner-friendly map. Well, this one really wasn't with it's length, the jumps and the rather hard-to-remember route. In addition to that there was a certain checkpoint that made you lose more than 10 seconds when having to standing respawn...

Cup of the Day (COTD) is the biggest competition in TrackMania with thousands of players each day that is getting played on the latest Track of the Day being available for everyone with a paid access to the game.
