2 map ban rule

forget about this

Yeah I don’t really like it but it is what it is

geng had 2 map bans when sen beat them tho

??? it's not new

1. its not new, its been in this game for a while
2. gen.g and other teams had this advantage and still lost in finals before

do you even watch the event my guy?

It has been like this over 2.5+ years.

fnatic won against it in emea finals, that was the latest one in one of many such incidents.

No, many teams have won from lower

need some reward for upper bracket.

in fighting games its more brutal, where the player coming from losers needs to win two sets in a row.

The Team has to have some Advantage to go directly into the Grand Final without losing.

other teams xd

you mean PRX

I think teams should ban 1 map each and then Upper bracket picks the first two maps

GENG PRX LOUD all had that advantage and still lost

Bro forgot Madrid

other teams xd

you mean PRX

fnatic in regional also did it

In the double map ban era, lower bracket team are 4-2. So maybe TH is just worse than GenG

Currently more teams have lost with that advantage

okay but

1. Copenhagen 2022
2. Champs 2023
3. Madrid 2024
4. Reykjavik 2022

all won by the lower bracket team

More teams have won from lower bracket than upper bracket this is cope

Yeah, too much for being flawless throughout the playoffs no?

Bro you just gotta pick advantages Twice to beat or +1 map already or just map pick advantage

Just because more teams have won despite not getting any bans doesn't mean it's a disadvantage for the team getting the bans lmao what. 0 logic, definitely not "safe to say"

Having a '2nd life' in playoffs is still better than having an extra ban in grand finals

Originally, in some old esports, it used to be even harsher for lower bracket finalists. Back then if you would come from lower bracket, you would need to legitimately win 2 series vs the upper bracket grand finalist, because every team could lose at least once and continue, even if it was grand finals

More like prx singlehandedly skewed the statistic lmao

new rule? have you watched any VCT internationals before?

Don't forget that the team that advanced from the lower bracket has already exercised their "crazy" right to lose once.

Only if the team in the upper bracket loses 3-2, the team in the upper bracket can choose a map and play BO1 and the winner is the winner.
This is an irregular BO6.

Yeah I don’t really like it but it is what it is

It’s better than being up 1-0 by default
