Full tilt, there aren't really any other existing prem teams to talk about yet. I guess you could say there's no team with the prem tier Russians in it

IT'S 2024; DD5F AND PUBLICLIR HAVE PLAYED LOGJAM FOR ALMOST 8 YEARS NOW. SEROTONE GOT MARRIED AT HIS PC, AND AMS IS ON LIFE SUPPORT. HE STILL LAUNCHES HIMSELF NON STOP
We literally had 5 minutes of gameplay on gpit before winning. I don't think this is because we are so good (even though we are) but in all the rounds both teams managed to capture C in 3-4 minutes. With us winning 2-0 it made the game last about 5 minutes in total. I haven't played gpit a lot but it wasn't fun and no ones wants to see 5 minute games. I'm not sure how common it is for gpit games to last nowadays but this might be a problem. We have to play it again in the finals and i'm dreading it.
Only map we had fun on was coalplant. Logjam still has too many issues to be a good map imo. I think we should remove 1 map from the etf2l pool and just add coalplant.

Teams will always be worse on defence on new maps of any format. It requires you to know a strategy and have some co-ordination, whereas aggression can always be synced up on the fly. This is because nobody puts any preparation into a tournament like this on any of the new maps and just plays a scrimmy style (for good reason, because why bother putting the effort in).
maybe sideshow, it's because it's not a map people want to play

this whole cup is full of maps people don't want to play

When logjam was in the map pool im pretty sure people pcw'd it a lot more than gpit. Everytime gpit has been in the map pool a lot of teams just refuse to play it until the day of the official.

That tells you more about how badly you both defended than anything to do with the map. In any era of tf2 where the map was actually practiced this would go down as an absolutely crazy game.

We had a good laugh about this when we saw it after the game. Definitely a memorable game for us. On gravelpit we were completely clueless but overall the cup was fun and we learned a lot.

I like the idea of having two koth maps in the pool. Since we're moving away from ETF2L being the only competition in EU we can have different map pools for different events too. So it's not like removing sunshine / some other map for coalplant would be irreversible, or even affect other cups/LANs.
