Would have liked to see a land no tp map as 4th/5th.

I think its just Bengal and Cascade right? Probably need another unless I have forgotten one.

It's not like there are no RE maps left, right?

[Jaeger]

Aw only BO5 for RO 16? I hope at least RO8 is BO7

[Jaeger]

Also how come you guys aren't doing random maps for every match like last time?

Pampas Sierras as well. IIRC all 3 of these maps have been in the last 3 rounds as well.

We only did different maps for every single match in the Summer tournament, and it was a lot of extra work and overcomplicated the rules a bit. Not to mention people would have a harder time preparing because everyone's playing on different maps.

This way works fine and keeps the map pool diverse without complicating things.

Let's also keep in mind that, in a tournament setting so ridden with external factors that these are features of event rules, making a concerted effort to expand on them is... questionable.

Tbh you should also try a tournament once where all maps for all rounds are known from start of the tournament
