The same goes for dubb. trips and quads.
The maps and settings were posted on page 1 for the whole of the qualifying round, inviting everybody to give comments, suggestions, etc. Many are the same or similar as the previous tournament and I never heard a complaint then....
I even invited some players to give me their ideas, I never received any.
At this stage I'm not going to change them anymore. Besides, there are few maps really good for 1v1 and we have 23 rounds to fill without playing the same maps all the time....

I agree with artur that maps that drop 12, 15, etc. in any game type put the team that plays second in a rough position, but TLO is a big tournament and if Lindax gave ample opportunity for comment and even contacted people to get feedback, you can't really fault him.
There is no easy list of maps (although one is in the works by jakewilliams) that lists maps that have this type of problem but it's more of a map foundry concern than a tournament problem. I invite you to read and comment upon jake's suggestions here, viewtopic.php?f=4&t=122033, which seeks to remedy the problem.
