Why not combine the TG Map pool and future tournaments in one package?
For example: For BoA 2, they could have put the map pool of the tournament in the TG ladder a few weeks in advance, and base the sign-ups off TG rate at first. Obviously they would have to fix the TG ladder for that as at the moment it's almost meaningless and is mostly just about stacking and playing a lot.
Maybe give high rated 1v1 players (with at least, say 2k+ rating) a set rate in TG (like 2700?) so they could easily catch up.
Anyways, that way, teams could easily practise instead of having to search for good opponents manually and if you are unlucky, have nobody to practise against. And the top teams would be in the top TG ladder the way it should be.
I also think if the TG ladder were to actually mean something and be taken more seriousy by experts and the community as a whole, it could potentially help initiation for less serious teams to form and grow for future tournaments(?).
