Holes have homogenous distance which makes it more fair for both players. It prevents somebody being over lucky with positions + Shin wanted this map
(attachment) If you download a replay from the game with Damian (semi final) you can see that the map has totally different white Ice theme. The map will always have the preview pics identhical on a Replay page, while it looks different inside a game.
I am too lazy to come up with new maps, inside a mole tournament, containing also homogenous holes' distance, since every player who I met seemed very comfortable with playing in this area.
