The difference in the maps was the same as the difference between MLG Metalopolis and IPL4 Metalopolis: absolutely nothing but the branding of the name, yet they were forced to regame.

The problem, as applied to this thread, is if a map that isn't in the pool is played, as per rules, it needs to be re-gamed. Strictly speaking, if we break the rules here (allowing maps not in the pool to be played), where do we stop? Do we allow players to re-game at their will (see: Demuslim v Scarlett at IPL4, demuslim re-gamed w/ scarlett because she dropped evo instead of spawning pool), which can (and will) lead to match fixing.

It's a shit spot for the admins, but I think it's a regame.

But was that in a tourney where they had the event or sponsor name in the map name or loading screen?
