I'm sorry you feel this way. I do understand your frustration.
This is real world sports league tournament, and my aim is emulate it as closely as possible. It is the exact same format run in the Indian Premier League. They want an exciting finish for the fans, so the whole tourney is decided in one game on a neutral ground. Hence the random map and random settings. It does mean everyone still has something to play for right up until the end, often in league formats the outcome is clear with many games left to play. I was also clear about the format and teams were aware on signup.
I do think it's worth offering a GA medal to the table toppers in future runs of the tournament, though.
Congrats to Mad777, sempaispellcheck and Donelledan on winning the tournament!
