In recent Bo9 or Bo15 matches in 2v2 series there have been many arguments over bad or dubious map choices. For example Rasta Pro Aron (1hr+ game), HJK6 (too much like 2 x 1v1). Also there has been a problem of some maps basically being duplicated (eg V7 and V10 being chosen in the same series - very similar maps), the same with Chrono Unlimited + Chrono Gems (Essentially who has the faster chrono build order will win both times). I've thought about this in great detail so I suggest an official map list which players can choose from in order to stop any arguments in future. I've balanced it so that all map types are represented.
First of all I will list the Bo9 suggestion. I have given teams the option to choose the Gem or Ore version of the map in most cases so there is a list of 18 maps total. 1 map out of 2 must be chosen from each category. For example in category 1, the option is P4 Sudden Death OR P4 Mini - a team can only choose 1 of these 2 maps. If team A selected P4 Sudden Death then team B would have the option to later choose P4 Mini. To retirerate: TEAMS CAN ONLY CHOOSE 1 MAP FROM EACH OF THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES. If team A chooses Tdawg Gems they cannot later choose Tdawg ore within the Bo9, they would need to choose a map from the other 8 categories.
- P4 Sudden Death / P4 Mini Tourney Edition
- Tdawg Gems / Tdawg Ore
- Crush Basement Gems / Crush Basement Ore
- V7 Gems / V7 Ore
- Ribbon Gems/ Ribbon Ore
- 4c Gems/ 4c Ore
- Answer The Door / Big Open Ore
- Chrono Unlimited / Chrono Gems
- Pico / KOTG
For Bo15 the solution is simple. After 9 maps have been played the categories unlock. Teams can choose any of the remaining maps that were restricted after 9 games. For example if team A chose P4 Sudden Death in the first 9 games, they would now be able to choose P4 Mini in games 10-15 (if team B had not selected it already).
