I think the team that got the most advantage from the hybrid maps was actually Tempo. Most of the hybrid maps forced early 1v1 situations in pond warfare with great reward from winning it. Obviously the team with most individual skill would be favored here. The days when Hera and Liereyy didn't know how to play other maps than Arabia are already long gone. Against most players, they should be expected to win the control of a small pond with similar investment.
The maps Tempo most struggled with were Arabia and Team Islands. Team coordination has a much bigger role on Arabia than on any other of the Two Pools maps. You can be damaged early on if you fail to track your opponent's army or get into a fight without support from your ally. We saw this both in the Finals and Semifinals from Tempo. In both cases they fell behind on Arabia early on. Team Islands too is very much map that can't really be described as two separate 1v1s, as it is so chaotic. Tempo lost both of the Team Islands games against Suomi.
Would you people agree with my observation?
