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.

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.

Sorry, I wasn't sure, what's the race restrictions for the final?

The difference between some maps sometimes are lower than players' preferences. E.g even i know adorable is the best race on SKI i may still use scallywags on this map, which is a little weaker but i know i can make the most out of it. And for maps like war garden on which I didn't see any obvious bias yet (except SvV), or Sweet Tooth on which some people think A is stronger while some people think it's S. Foundry may only have FTA but also little bias for races.
But for TG I have to choose A for sure since other races can hardly beat A, just like Scallywags ruling peekaboo.

I think i saw "no more than 2 times for each race" somewhere.

I personally think that reaper and sweet tooth, by far, create the best ST replays

What about not allowing playing the same race more than once on each map and each race only twice in total for the final? Then we won't have two AvA games if we choose thorn gulley for example.

Soldier spam FTW

Well, it looks like the maps will not be changed. Thorn Gulley is still the map only to be played once so I think we'll see interesting games!
