Good day, friends!

Players voted in five categories, with gameplay and balance taking the highest priority, followed by design, aesthetics, polish, and theme.

Here’s how the results turned out:

🥇 slide_ereshara by FLasH ^^ pockets 150 EUR
🥈slide_v4rious by V4R10L4V3R4 grabs 75 EUR

arte_mon and slide_anguish received no prize money but are now officially recognized and available for record submissions.

Slide Contest may be over, but the map releases aren’t slowing down. From speed and flow, we now move to grit and grind - Chrizzy is back. And not just with any map, but with kz_dirtblock2 - a massive beast crafted in the finest traditions of the golden era. This is the sequel to the legendary kz_dirtblock, first released all the way back in 2005, and it's long since earned its place in Kreedz history. The map is huge, seriously massive. It’s built mainly around climb, as expected, but Chrizzy being Chrizzy, he’s sprinkled in some bhop and slide for good measure. It all flows naturally - the route pulls you forward… until you slip. And make no mistake, a single mistake can send you right back to the start. If you’re the kind of player who runs without saves - well, get ready for a real trial.

This map doesn’t hold your hand, it tells you, “If you want to finish, earn it.” Chrizzy stays true to his roots, and that’s exactly why he’s beloved: every jump here demands precision, every decision carries weight.
kz_dirtblock2 is a challenge. It’s the spirit of the oldschool brought into 2025 with scale and character.

Boot it up, give it a go, fall down, and climb again. Good luck.
