You know as me, it will never be the case, in any circumstances devs will add new official maps accordingly to the playability of them in a 3 vs 3 match. Current maps that fit with the 3 vs 3 CTF were not chosen because of it. Out of ac_swamp, none of the map you picked in your list were intentionally made to fit with what you call "the meta".

This is the main issue we are trying to point here, you are creating tournaments accordingly to the meta, but the way you are describing "the meta", is just disabling every possible changes we could apply to it. You are just waiting for devs to add more official maps so maybe we will have the chance to have like 2-3 suitable match maps in the 20 new added. You know as me official maps comes only with new AC updates wich are spaced by a lot in time but you only want official maps because those are the only ones a competitive player has no excuse to don't know. Do you see where your opinion is broken now?
It's time to use your "competitive scene leader post" to apply good changes instead of using it to "force" (because they kinda don't have the choice) people to follow you and play the same things again and again. There is no place for a lot of tournaments on AC each years, if there are only 2 tournaments and they are the same, with zero newcomers, how would you expect things to change well for the AC competitive scene wich is going down-hill since a long time now?
In the past, your notoriety could completely give you the ability to run mapping contests with the winner's map played in a custom tournament, wich is a price way higher than $50. It would join the mapping and competitive scene of the game and be way more inovative than anything this game knew yet, but you are right, stick with your meta.
