could you put shakuras out of the mappool ? its a 2n2 map that isnt in the 1n1 ladder mappool for some good reasons xD
I agree. This map is made for 2v2 play and normaly it would set both players from the same team, one next to eachother. If they play 1v1 on this map, they might end up in the same base lol.

Same for Twilight Fortress, is not a 1vs1 map.

/R
Ok, done :)
Yep, Twilight Fortress is even worse. There is one 2-player base where you spawn right next to each other.
