April Agitation

E2M2, the final winner of the April Agitation tournament.

April Agitation was a "tournament" that was held on Doomworld from mid-March to early April 2015, the goal being to determine which of the original Doom and Doom II maps was the mostly highly regarded by Doomers.

Organized by Linguica, the tournament placed the 68 levels into a tree of contests that eventually led to a single winner, E2M2: Containment Area. Because the number of levels is not an exact power of two, the tournament began with a small eight level mini tournament ("Pernicious play-ins") that eliminated four levels before the start of the main tournament.

E2M2's "win" was subsequently commemorated on Doomworld by a special crate masthead image, a reference to the iconic "crate maze" section of the level [1].
