It was the player's responsibility to ensure they play on the right map .
I keep seeing people say this. It's not. The players have way more than enough on their mind: admins are there to run the tournament, settle disputes and ensure maps are made/played. If you have ever seen the playhem daily, admins are constantly making games for players, esp. those games which are to be streamed.
Stop putting the fault on the players. It's not the players fault.

Its the players fault, you are always supposed to read the rules.. Also admins fault for not noticing.

Anyways, shouldnt be a regame.
It is partially the players fault. But most of the players will be playing in quite a few tournaments, all with different map pools. I don't feel it is right to believe that at 2-2 in a Bo5 with a fairly important prize up for grabs that it is incomprehensible for Iaguz to not be realising that this is the one tournament that luckily excludes one of the more annoying maps for TvZ.
I don't think a regame should occur several days after the tournament, and it sucks that iaguz misses a seed because he had to play on a wrong map, but I think the initial decision should stand for now.
But what is important, is that their should be a clear policy on this for future tournaments. At exactly what point is it too late for the player to realise they've been made to play on a wrong map and expect to get a regame? As soon as they've left? As soon as their opponent has an advantage?
Then at least there will hopefully be less drama next time.
