So I've noticed only 2 maps for each mode, and then lijiang tower as a tiebreaker... is this for the whole season? Is this all we're ever going to see? Because if so, that would be disastrous. It'd become so boring so fast.

I believe there is a set pool of 9 maps for each Stage. To give the teams more manageable practice but still keep it fresh.

Got it. Will these maps change for season 1?

And how are the maps decided that are played in each set?

Based on what's on the overwatchleague website, the map pool is most likely going to change for the regular season and will be announced before the beginning of the season.

Purely speculating, but losers pick with 'home' team picking the first map. Or something similar

I don't think this is the case since they have been announcing all four maps for the match prior to beginning of the match. But I couldn't find any info on how they are decided, so I'm not sure whether it has anything to do with home&away teams or Blizzard just decides the maps for each match.
