Truth of the matter is that the majority of players in this tournament can only play 2 modes at most on a decent level. Most of the players know how to play std, but barely anyone can play the others. This mappool is shitty in that sense, I agree, but it would be boring to watch a team fail every other map because they can't play the game mode accordingly.
Basically, I wanted to make sure each map is passable for everyone in the first rounds. Then again, the maps may be too easy on the semi and final stage.
And just to put it out there: As far as I know, there are no player in Skandi who mainly plays "all-modes". Unlike other tournaments that focus on one specific mode and lets the players who mainly plays that mode compete with eachother, this tournament doesn't really have a specific group of players to appeal to. I hope people see that making a mappool for this tournament is way harder than making a mappool for the OWC.
PS: Star ratings across the game modes are not equal in difficulty. A new player who's never played before would nail 4 star standard maps way before he could 4 star ctb maps.
I hope this answers your question.
