Yura, your point of view is correct, but it's correct from the judge's perspective. And, statistically, mini-maps aren't any faster than standard maps. More precisely, the endgame on a standard map is unpredictable – it can start from week 2 and continue until the very end, while on a mini-map, it starts around week 3-4 and continues until the end...

That's correct, and we're talking about the fact that on mini-maps, the endgame comes earlier – at the latest, the entire map is consumed by week 5 (and usually earlier). That is, 2 players camping are likely to play the final game around 2.1.X, and its outcome can be predicted with a high degree of probability as early as 1.4.X.

On 8mm6a, you can easily play for 2 months and not even approximately determine the winner.

For tournament purposes, it's not the duration of the average game that matters, but the duration of a drawn-out game.
