Unless you're a pro gamer or join clans, because you think there's a point to it, there's really no good reason to play a lot of different maps. You're talking about a tourney involving a lot of players that haven't played in months to years, that just come back for the hell of it to play in tournaments. Destination is a popular map. I might have played it 7 times before, with the last time being 6 months ago, though. Korean pros practice 14 hours a day for a reason... Try playing terran some time on maps you're not very familiar with. Let's see how good your builds are and how well you utilize the terrain. It's a silly premise.
I don't mean to hate, I really don't. Having tournaments is always better than not having tournaments. I'm just offering my opinion that the importance of practice should not be forgotten. Some people like having a logical reason in order to play different maps.

I've seen your match-list before, every game PvT or TvP on fighting spirit or python... No wonder you have trouble adapting to other maps, tbh I don't think this affects the majority of players it's not a terran imba problem.
