The second example is far better. Less contrast and noise.

I prefer the one without it, there's too much contrast with the first one in my opinion and it makes it too dark for a competitive map.

2nd one for sure. it looks way better and more natural.

The first CC looks way too saturated personally. The colours are just too bright.
The more pastelly tones of the second image are much more suited to good game-play.

The second one is way better for playing it competetive I think but I like the color of the sky box in the first version :) so maybe you could color the second versions skybox the way it is in the more saturated version

Don't forget there is less custom competitive map played.
CC make your map different of others, keep it.
Just reduce the white

Color Correction with less contrast would be better :3

The 2nd of course!

Second screens there are really better. :)

2nd much better.

2nd hurts your eye's less

Neither. The first one is obviously too saturated with crushed blacks. Something a lot of users who use sweetFX like to make the game more "pretty" (read ♥♥♥♥♥♥).

The second one, while obviously better lacks an atmosphere direction. If you could work with the contrast and saturation, as well as digital vibrance and tone them down while still having a nice colour hue, you could get awesome results.
