Have CA ever sent you an email "thank you Tomi!"? Have they ever offered help to you? Have they ever offered prize money or CA products as a tourney prize? No? Surprising ... With STEAM it would have been a piece of cake to organise CA sponsored tourneys, I am sure they know very well that it would draw in a huge crowd ...

Tomi, what I would do in your position is write a letter to CA. Explain the history of your tourney, give them the numbers, how many seasons you organised, how many clans particpated overall (it must be hunred or more), how many games were played (I guess several hundreds etc.), how many people were involved (several hundreds too I assume). Then explain the problems that comes form the lack of foyer and the lack of flat maps and ask for help. You can also ask for some CA sponsorship like prize money or special forces edition or whatnot (even if it is just a token).
If they do not responde it is a clear message. If they responde there still might be some hope.
