Technically, if players can't agree, then there is a KOTH standard to apply. That standard start was made before the Balance mod came along and before there was time to ascertain just how lopsided the game can be about placing 2 opponents in a game. When players approach the top of the hill, their talent and skill become more equal to each opponent they face. It then seems a bit odd (in an effort to see who is good enough to be king) to let the randomness of a game-generated map have such a big part in being the deciding factor.
