This means they can participate in the grand finals, right?

Yeah, where "participate" means "totally own".

Good to know what we can enter the Grand Final.
Hm wondering what the judging will be like. I don't have big hopes for Phase 4. The results seem to be random as usual.... (or for what other reason can crap like Unwheel etc win?

)
But for the Grand Final they need to vote for a serious game which can be released and anything, which excludes most. I mean you can't sell stuff like Unwheel, Mutai, Unreal Demolition, USkaarj, Provice of Demons and I think it wouldn't make much sense to sell one of those Counterstrike-like games (of which we already have 10000 on the planet). But I still expect them to chose one of those unoriginal ones, it would just fit....x_X (it's no more split into FPS or NON-FPS then).

Well, we are trying to get Deathball ready, including a motivating single player mode (read my log on the page for more details).

Bad news is...

eVOLVE: Will the no. 1 winning mod be selected because of it's potential for commercial release? Unreal 4 Ever, the mod that won the previous contest was barely ever mentioned afterwards. What if the winning mod can't realistically use the license?

MarkRein[Epic]: NO, mods will not be judged on their commercial potential. If the winner can't use the license we reserve the right to give it another contestant.
I should add to that...
The winner does not have to use the engine license for the mod they won with. They could create a completely new game... and use the engine for that.

Interesting... well done team

I would also do something about the ASE issue. A default install of it shows ZERO deathball servers. Not the thing you want to see if you're looking for an exciting happenin' mod to play.

Well, There is a reason why DeathBall wont win Phase 4 again...

What has changed from the previous version? almost nothing...

But in the grand finals with the SP version and maybe the new models(?) it can win. Thou, I think Alien Swarm still has the best chance...

Imo, DeathBall can also be included in that group of "unlikely to be released commercialy"...

Personally, I think Alien Swarm has the best chance of winning phase 4, although Deathball provides more long term entertainment.

I think a lot of the problem is that Deathball doesn't look very nice at the moment. Hopefully BrileyPS will change that and make Deathball a lot more appealing to potential players.

Alien Swarm sucks. I'd vote for MetaBall, myself. Edit: If it weren't for DeathBall, of course.
