For large FFA and team play.
Use Map Settings for team play.

The sword and the faith

The map is very ill-formed with a lot of unnatural corridors, awkwardly shaped mains, and no real layout to speak of. Even unsymmetrical maps, good ones anyway, have a cohesive idea that they are built around so that it doesn't just become a splattered canvas.

I'd recommend scrapping this and starting again after you've come up with what you want the concept of the map to be, and have executed it with some semblance of form.

You can reference my old melee mapping video here and the melee mapping guide here for additional help.

Yeah, I agree a lot with what Ex said. The mains, and expos even, are very awkwardly shaped, and won't make for good bases. The middle is wasted by the large body of water, and in an 8-player FFA map, you really need as much space as you can get.

Here's an 8-player FFA map I made not too long ago that Ex cleaned up and made better. You can see the general direction around it, which leads to plausible gameplay. Try replicating something like this, or start with a smaller map (maybe 4-player) and then expanding that to an 8-player version.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
