He needs to be able to do a kick flip. This is very important.

Sultry might be "more ready" because it's already seen 3 seasons of league play in NA.

I don't understand the expectation that a map which is being actively developed (and that nobody knows how to play properly yet) should play as well as maps that have been in the pool for decades in order to get in. For the last 10 years I've played this game every time a new map comes out people complain about it, and new map cups get low attendance.

People's opinions only tend to change after the map has been in the pool for a few seasons- often when there's not been any substantial changes. I think that's just because it takes time (more than one season) playing a map in a proper team environment to actually know how a map will play. It can go the other way too- a lot of people think the snakewater even ubers gun changes the map's gameplay significantly for the worse and it only became common years after the map's release. It's very strange to me that people think a map, especially one that's been in development for as long as entropy, shouldn't be allowed in a season at all when it's pretty much the only way it can be properly tested at this point.

I agree, probably the biggest problem with the ruleset is lan scheduling. I think you just have to budget for games running a long time. If you schedule 30 mins longer than the average series runs (with pauses, technical delays etc budgeted), you'll have a gap between most games and it gives you a buffer if a game does go on for longer than expected. We can talk about theoretically infinite but really long games are an extreme outlier and you might see one per lan (iirc there was a ford gaming map at fullerton 22 that went on for a while too). In practice if you budget enough time this should not be an issue, but 2 hrs is definitely not enough for a bo3, even if each map has a 30 min time limit you can still go over that just with gcs.

ETF2L ruleset allows for a a 30 minute round resulting in a 0-0 game followed by another 15 minute golden cap which means you can have a whole 45 minutes without a last point being capped. It was also possible under the old etf2l ruleset with no timelimit on golden caps and in fact did happen. Regardless of how long the round actually is, if teams can't convert a last push the game is going to be awful and I don't think it's an issue with the timer.

From a spectator perspective I think it's much more enjoyable to have a rare occasion where a match goes on for a long time than the alternative. Under a 30 min ruleset, nearly every high stakes game involves one team going up rounds and playing exceptionally safe tf2 (as they have little incentive to convert another round). This generally results in a game where the last 5-10 minutes are pretty much a foregone conclusion, which I find dull both to watch and play.

Not convinced having a 43 minute round is an issue exclusive to this ruleset. I think that might lead to a bad game in other rulesets too.
