(For what it's worth, a division between the good and bad players would happen in pretty much any community-driven game with skill/rank being a distinguishing factor, don't get too caught up on it)
(And I have no opinion on which map should've won, note how new I am anyways)
Given the literal definition of this LOVED category the quality of the map isn't grounds for appeal; it's purely community driven.
Also, you should expect more "objectively worse" maps to win out in the future in this category too, and pay no attention to it if you're a top player, honestly. lol
If you want to split up LOVED, that's a fine idea as well.
1. (Experienced Choice - top x000 players' votes only, or from a designated panel of users)
2. (Community - anyone can vote)
The top-tier players have good reason to be upset that their favorite didn't win, though.
It's not really an example of elitism to be upset about the results, but some of the histrionics I just read might approach that.
