Agreed. Why would the server move to such a map? The only reason I can tell is because they are using sourcemod, added the map to map cycle, and forgot to add it to the gamemodes file. That's pure user error.
On the other hand, I don't see the purpose of mapgroups, as it seems like an unnecessary complication, but all the "problems" with it just sound like poor server administration rather than actual problems.
