Rotating north-wise for close-up views would work of course, but close-up you could just use a "proper" UTM projection instead. For the global view this map feels gimmicky/artsy and not useful for everyday usage.
Disclaimer: I like this work very much and I am super happy a map won this award! I just feel that it has very little use outside of design or art.
