An admin comment on the map of game 2 (homemap pool violation):
Haijuk took nC_Decentring as a homemap, which is not in the homemap pool of CotA. Quote from rules and settings:
"The homemap pool is AoC Standard Maps (Overview) + WSVG World Championship 2015 Homemaps (WSVG Map Guide) + Land Nomad. No other maps can be used as homemaps."
There may have been confusion, because the "WSVG Map Guide" shows all maps of WSVG, but as the above quote shows, only the WSVG homemaps are accepted. nC_Decentring is not a WSVG homemap, it is a WSVG set map. There is also a complete list of possible homemaps in the CotA rules and settings.
Luckily I was there when Haijuk and annndig played the match. So I told them at the beginning of the game that this was not a legit homemap. But I also told annndig can accept the map and let it count. He chose to do so.
To all players who remain in the Quarter-finals and further: this exception is NOT a cancellation of the restricted homemap pool. The goal of a restricted pool is that every player knows what to expect and can prepare. This will be maintained.
