Format Question

If FNATIC makes it to Grands(or whoever in Losers) against a team that isn't LOUD(let's say Bilibili), do the map bans still go: BLG bans two, BLG pick, FNC pick, BLG pick, FNC pick, decider? Or, since FNATIC didn't directly lose to Bilibili(or more applicably, EG/PRX), do they get to ban one of the maps(leaving BLG ban, FNC ban, BLG pick, FNC pick, etc)?

I think whoever gets to GF first will always have 2 map ban advantage, i could be wrong

yup

each team bans one

winners team should have map advantage or both bans MINIMUM

but that was in losers finals - i'm talking about grands where one team makes the winner's bracket run, does that team get map advantage? in losers finals there isn't a team that went through winners lmao
