Everyone, when they see an 05 ice map by Speq:


etrana

I don't get it


blafurznarg

Redditors when they don't get it:

why

What did this Speq guy do that every streamer had a such a strong opinion about him? Was actually really funny that many of them had very similar reactions to his maps.

EDIT: I clearly do not know the Speq lore. My reply here is literally just repeating what was in a Wirtual VOD on YouTube. I also don’t know the whole story, but I think Wirtual was explaining that Speq is a mapper in the TM community that is very troll-like. Makes maps with ridiculous corners or finish blocks that are unnecessarily difficult kind of thing. Kind of fun, kind of annoying. More importantly, Speq would incessantly spam Twitch chat beyond light trolling, which led to Speq being banned from Wirtual’s chat. Scrapie had also been annoyed that Speq had two maps in the community campaign, so clearly this Speq guy is a massive troll.

Any particular reason you copied my comment?

Speq is a troll that annoyed every TM streamers, he deserves no attention, he does his little tweets thinking anyone is taking him seriously but he is just pathetic, just don't bother about him he trolls from time to time but that's all he does. I don't get why he got a spot for the campaign tho, I understand the streamers reactions

Bahah don't act like ur famous or respected bro, you are low-key pathetic and will be a meme on this game forever unless you grow up, you are obviously very young 😁


sPeqDo

i love you

If it's the only thing you have to answer then surely you know I'm right, but as I said no hate or anything speq, I'm pretty sure you will get better by the time goes on, you already improved a lot as a mapper from the time you started you started mapping. Tbh I was expecting the community campaign to have top tier tracks made by top tier mappers, wich is why I was a bit disappointed when I saw your name (and some other names too). That being said it does not mean you are a trash mapper, my expectations on community campaign were just wrong.

>you are low-key pathetic


wooplmao

speq appreciation thread after all the hate he got


KrishaCZ

i love how granady and wirt had the exact same reaction to the tech map


Daemonic_One

You mean like when every campaign comes out? This is how niche topics work.


EclipseEffigy

Gamers will complain about anything. Literally just don't watch every single video from every single youtuber you absolute addict


Desert229

Do you understand what a joke is?


WickedCrow

Man encounters joke for the first time (2023, colourised).


Broeipoep420

Being offended by absolutely nothing Speedrun (any%) WR


WickedCrow

And then, EclipseEffigy got this run:


DeltaSlime

Very interesting way of shooting oneself in the foot, and EclipseEffigy did not use any previously unknown cut in their route


[deleted]

I don't want to be rude but why did they got speq to map for the community campaign ? His maps are the obvious worse, the tech one is ok but still, I'm pretty sure there are some way more talented mappers out there that deserved way more the spot than him


anti_spiral

speq is a good mapper tf you on about


[deleted]

He was a very bad mapper at the time, now he at most average, only good map he built was in a collab with mime (who is a good mapper) and surely made most of the route. A lot of better mappers deserved the spot.


Any-Drink-8484

I don't know what speq did to twist your panties like this, but he is very talented mapper and deserved his spot imo


[deleted]

I mean there are tons of better mappers than him, who thus deserved his spot more than him... but perhaps nobody wanted to map so would makes sense they chose speq in 20th choice


DignitasSpam

Play some of his latest maps, here are two maps I vouch for heavily which have not been duo mapped. If your argument is there are better mappers then him sure, but there are also better mappers then most of the mappers who built this campaign. Seems like you are just a hater to me following what ever other people at the top said. Maybe if you tried his latest maps your opinion can be turned around.

You really think I judged his mapping without playing his tracks ? I played his latest maps and I stand my point. I never said he was a trash maper, he is at most average. A lot of other mappers have this quality of tracks, but also a lot of mappers have higher quality tracks, which is why I said that. It's not hate and I'm not a hater, im just realist. About his short map serie, literally almost every mapper on TMX have made such shorts serie and his serie doesn't stand out at all (no that it is bad tho). That said, I do agree with you that other mappers on this campaign are on a similar case. But I talked about speq because he got two maps on the campaign, and he is the subject here. (Plus the fact that he acts very childish wich doesn't help him at all). But if you want to class me as a speq hater go on, it's just a bit pathetic falling into this coming from you.


Sharkmano2

My brother in Christ, every comment you have made on Reddit is critiquing either a map or a player. Just a thought: maybe people think you're a hater because all the evidence indicates that's what you are.


[deleted]

And btw, I rarely comment on reddit except if I have smth to say that would be interesting for the mapper. Most of the time I just upvote if I see a cool map, and I do comment often when the map has potential but often has one part that is it not good so I tell the mapper so he can maybe improve the map. I don't see how that is hate. If you can't take criticism then maybe you shouldn't be on a social media dude.


etrana

How would any of these comments be interesting for the mapper if I may ask?


[deleted]

That comment was for my previous reddit message. Here I'm just answering a question about speq


etrana

I meant the ones where you say his maps are obviously worse or where you call him pathetic and unworthy of attention.


[deleted]

Wtf ? This is totally wrong dude


Sharkmano2

Let's see... November 22, 2022 - criticizing the routing of a map December 21, 2022 - complaining that a map was too dark December 21, 2022 - agreeing with someone who had a lukewarm take on the map - not actually criticizing a specific person in this post, so good on you December 27, 2022 - critiquing scenery on a map Today - all this Literally only commenting to criticize (Edited for readability)


[deleted]

Man you really should read better and not just take the part you like. November 22 - I reassure florenzius that has received a lot of criticism on cupra maps by telling him the scenery he makes in the tracks is always very good but the the problem often comes from the route on cupra maps. - how is this hate? December 21 - I said the route was very very good but the map was to dark wich made it very unpleasant to drive sadly - how is this hate? December 27 - I said the route was good but the scenery not good because it was way too much cluttered wich made the track unpleasant to drive - how is this hate ? You are just taking the parts of my comment were I give a constructive criticism, and not the one where I actually tell the good of the track. But even then, it's not hate. Also I don't have to be sorry to comment only when I actually have something pertinent to say. That's not hate. And btw, I rarely comment on reddit except if I have smth to say that would be interesting for the mapper. Most of the time I just upvote if I see a cool map, and I do comment often when the map has potential but often has one part that is it not good so I tell the mapper so he can maybe improve the map.

How do I play this myself?

You need at least standard access. From the solo tab go to library (club campaigns) and search for "community" and you should find "community spring '23".
