Almost every tournament in the country has had both Brinstar and Rainbow since the down of Brawl - this is no different.
Picto is being looked at closer.
This ruleset is not for the ladder, as online and offline play are very different things.
I see a double standard, since many of the stages that were considered for the previous unified ruleset were pretty much unprecedented, and had only been used in like the early 2008 metagame lol.
Something being there for the sake of "always being there" doesn't really hold a valid argument when our changed perception of the nature of the game has stated that it should be different.
For example, Jungle Japes has been in for a long time, iirc it has existed in most popular rulesets as much as early 2010, then people realized how ridiculously campy this stage is. It was only fairly recently that we conscientiously saw how bad an idea it was to keep the stage as a CP.
