Players can choose the following maps:

Primary Maplist:
DM_Psycho
DM_Sacred
DM_Absinthe
Secondary Map List:

Justin Blanchard about the primary and secondary maps:

1. Primary versus secondary maps:
The primary maplist is available for all players to choose from for any match. The secondary maplist is available to be used in conjunction with the primary for all qualifiers. The maps on the secondary maplist may also be used as tiebreakers, and to expand the pool of maps in the primary list as needed.

Secondary maps will not be used at CPL Turkey.
