There was a real tournament experience in Kingisepp on the Lite map.
The average game duration on 8mm6 turned out to be 21 days, i.e., 3 weeks. The longest game lasted about 6 weeks. I didn't calculate the statistics for the SM map, but it's roughly the same, maybe a couple of days less.
The point isn't the map, but the playing style. Those who want to sit and grind will play for 2 months on many maps.
Show the statistics!!! Skilled players finish MM6 games in the time it takes to play SM maps! It's true that when someone gets into trouble on the last map, it's time to give up.
Here are the game statistics from the Kyiv club on SM maps:

The average duration is 18.5 days.
Only one game – mine against Neo – lasted into the second month. Neo gave up his Castle in the third week and ran around the treasures :)
And practically no one dragged out the game – everyone understood that time was the most important factor. For example, Sem_56 had every chance to win, got wings, but attacked a Castle and lost. He decided not to continue, although he could have easily retreated to a treasure and gathered ducks and angels.
The guys understood.
