Poll about the maps for autumn

[QueenOfdestiny]

Hello guy's,
I need your attention about a important question here.
Do you think it's nice to watch every series starting with the same map? (could be vetoed but with a classic map for sure not)
Every round have the same map order?
Would you practices more then?
Please be honest and feel free to discuss

Bonnie shit please!
Seriously I think that it's better to have the same map pool for a round, and that the map pool should be taken very seriously ie don't add too many unstandard maps in it.

The best format for me would be the 1st ESOC tourney rules, but I know that it's not going to happen.

Why do you think that the 1st rules was the best? (we talk only about maps)

Because the map pool was better, and the first maps of the series were better. Also you could really practice on specific maps.

Imo it's just boring to watch/play/cast always the same maps through the tourney. I mean, every single series is going to start with the same 2-3 maps, so we're going to see these maps like, 40 times?
On the other hand it helps to practice, but honestly most people (including higher level players) don't even prepare their series much, so I doubt it will matter a lot.

Map pool should be the same every round, OR there should be one larger, but not too large, pool (of say 10-12 maps) from which maps are picked randomly each round.

Much more thought needs to go into which maps are featured in tournaments. With civ balance as close as it is, a great way to increase civ diversity is by using the right map selection.

The order of map type should be the same (e.g, land, water, tp, no tp, etc.)
Then you can use all the maps or just a subset of them to fill the template.

That's good, what about this:

Game1 : map1 / map2 / map3 (pick one of them, all 3 won't be played after)

Game2: map4 / map5 / map6 (pick one of them, all 3 won't be played after)

etc. I don't know how many maps are available and if this is even possible though.

Why not play on random maps? It wpuld be interesting to see how the players adapt.

Basically this.
