I don't think anyone would object to a new topic.
Regarding the difference between versions.
I'm generally in favor. There's no need to buff Necromancers; some artifacts might unbalance the game, and instead of elementals, it would be more interesting to use troll-lich-medusa units. The only thing that holds me back is the stables.
Regarding Teleport maps. This map should be included. However, it could also be excluded.
In general, the approach to selecting maps can vary.
1. Each potential participant lists 3 maps, ranking them. The 6 maps with the highest scores are selected for the tournament.
2. Each potential participant lists 1 map. All listed maps are selected for the tournament.
3. The winner of the last tournament, the current champion, chooses the maps.
4. First, a shortlist of maps is created. Then, a vote is held among potential tournament participants.
5. A committee selects/edits/creates maps for the tournament, consisting of an independent expert (the ideal option would be Deep Mike), the current champion, and 1-3 other people.
I believe that when selecting maps, the approximate game duration should also be considered. Imagine what would happen if Horn and Dust met in the first round in Michurinsk – they would finish the game just as the other participants were leaving...
