I'm happy to announce, on behalf of RGL the Modern Map League. The new initiative dedicated to finding the next great competitive map and finally ousting Badlands from the map pool!
Together, competitive map developers and players have created what we believe to be a field of maps that are perfect for the modern meta of TF2 and could serve as the foundation for a new golden age of TF2 maps! The league will serve as a platform for the general player base to test and criticize these maps in order to help gain an opportunity to see them in league play. Not only that, but this league gives the chance for every TF2 player to see how GOOD these maps are, and how every map developer behind every map is wholly dedicated to making the competitive scene better by constantly creating and updating new maps and iterating over their existing ones.
Our goal is to create a conversation about these maps that have been thoroughly playtested prior to this league. We hope to have them be considered for the upcoming spring/summer leagues.

Map Pool
These maps were selected out of 11 maps from map-testing and development by top players and other developers involved with the map-testing process. We wanted to include atleast 1 KotH map so we added the one with the most votes.
Competitive map play testers were asked to vote for their 4 maps they thought were league viable
