this question would probably do better in Gameplay & Rankings our Tournaments but here's the best that I can do
"Moving on to HR, when it’s a 2 map mod pool like this, I just tend to put a very conventional map on the first slot, while having a gimmick of some sort on the other slot. Sometimes it’s small CS, sometimes it’s a light tech map, sometimes it’s a big streamy map, it all depends on what I feel is lacking in other areas of the pool. In this case, I’ll probably opt for smaller circles, as our only CS5 or higher map in the pool is not aim-intensive.
For the conventional map, I’ll pick Foreground Eclipse - To The Terminus [Insane]. It’s a very normal, standard modern-ish map with a decent amount of streams, but mostly just your average consistency pick - long-ish, average BPM, normal map.
For the small circles map, I’ll choose Nekomata Master - Sayonara Heaven [Another]. I think this pairs nicely with the other HR, since it’s faster and also has little to no streams. It kind of spikes in difficulty on the kiai, but since it’s CS6.5 and there’s constant shitmiss tension, I don’t have too much of a problem with it. It’s also just 5* with HR, but I’d still consider as tough, if not tougher than the other pick. While osu! tends to boost SR for small circles dramatically, I (along with a lot of other colleagues) still feel as if the SR for them is nowhere near indicative of the difficulty they actually possess, specially with tourney nerves." -
