Thoughts on mappool:
In nomod, Sinead is way too easy. Fire Hive is harder than the star diff suggests and I think is okay.
Overall we must realise that this is a 128-participant tournament; if we started on 5-star diffs, it would be extremely unfair to the low seeds. To the high seeds who think this pool is way too slow, it's
just one match. It will get harder next round.
Sinead, though, is way too easy, even for a 50k player (was that the upper bound of ranks?). It's more like an easy Hard diff. I know Mahiro likes this map and wants to leave it in. Maybe it could fit in HR bracket, but that would make it AR10, which is too difficult for low seeds, I guess.
This map was considered by him, I think it fits well.
