The creator of the new map de_storm, daank, has been interviewed over @ counter-strike.nu. Though .nu usually means dirty and can't speak English, this page is clearly in English, so you can enjoy the interview while being intolerant:
How did it feel when they told you that your map was gonna be included in 1.3?Storm rocks!!
I was exstatic, I didn't even submit it. It was in the countermap pack along with my other map de_tombraid and lestat told me cliffe was asking for the de_storm.zip one day. I didn't hear from cliffe until he emailed me stating they would be including de_storm in cs1.3
