Hmm. I say Thorn Gulley, Reaper, Glitch. I think these are among the most difficult to play.

It'll be GG when you're up against GG of GG.

Well it's up to the players to choose their races on the good maps. The five matches won't be played on one map only, so there's no problem with Thorn Gulley. I personnaly voted Thorn Gulley, Sweet Tooth and Glitch, because they give the most difficult and interesting matches.

Are there any race restrictions for the Final?

Huh really? I dunno about that. Never seen a game go to upwards of 100 turns AA on TG... I'm a fan of TG because I like the 3 lanes.

I think he means that it heavily favors Adorables, not that it's a turtle fest like Scallywags on Peekaboo.

I'm not a fan of Long Nine for this... Doesn't seem to be a lot of strategy variation on that map. And I think Sweetie Plains has pretty big FTA (though I suck at Sweetie Plains so I never capitalize on this).

Oh - yup. That makes sense. But I think there's probably a clear "best race" for most maps.

It'll be GG when you're up against GG of GG.

I think we can all see though that nobody likes SFI Tongue

Lol, "|" means "given the condition" or "based on". Long and boring is the nature of Scallywag/SvS, not only on peekaboo. I'm just afraid that including TG will result in players spending two Adorable choice on these two games and limit the variety of the other 3 games, also it will be biased to adorable players since 2/5>1/4.
But have to admit AvA on TG is much more fun though, maybe make TG the one time map.
