Yes half-time is hopefully coming and will more or less put an end to the biased maps debate. But in the meantime clans do have the ability to change things for the better even in the current version.
The current system makes biased maps have a bigger impact on matches than they should.
In my opinion the team who picks 2nd has an advantage by default. They get to see the outcome of the first round, and base their pick on that.
So why not make it so both clans make their map picks ahead of time, before ever starting to play. That way what I mentioned above will no longer be an issue, and teams will have an opportunity to object to the others pick, without having to be surprised halfway through the match when they may make a 'questionable map choice'.
Clan A: "We're going to pick mode/map X."
Clan B: "We're going to pick mode/map Y."
If the teams agree on the picks, they decide what map to play first and get to it. No time lost, no hard feelings after the match because of 'biased maps'.

Also a standard set of match rules made by the competitive community as a whole would be a great thing to have stickied on this forum.
