it would only take the vast majority of people one game (maybe two for both sides, i guess) to get used to the gameplay of the new cavern tbh. it isn't that much dissimilar from the old version. i honestly think you should put it to a vote; if the majority of people want to play it, then let them.
also i'm not sure why you're considering this as a "more competitive tournament" when not many people are really playing and training regularly enough to take this tournament seriously.
i can tell you, with absolute certainty, that the map works in clan matches. i have tested it with more attention than any other map has received. if it wasn't true i doubt so many people would be for adding the map to the tournament (thats the "experience") there.
by the way, you still haven't played the map yourself to my knowledge, so go and try it out. the only people who appear to be apprehensive towards adding cavern1.2 haven't actually played it. i actually got the idea to rework cavern when you suggested those three other crappy maps just for the sake of having an even number of maps in the tournament

Selecting good maps feels like a decision for the devs. The maps also haven't been extensively tested in clan matches and a metagame hasn't been developed on them yet.
