double map ban

they need to remove this shit, rewarding the best team in the tournament is very stupid, no other sport does shit like that and it only makes the games more boring.

rewarding the team who went flawless and got to the finals through upper bracket makes a lot of sense

But the team that does not loose a game needs some advantage right. If not map ban what else

why do they need an advantage? is playing less games and having much more time not an advantage? in thoery all this does it makes the finals less competitive

It's really common in eSports. Would y'all prefer the technically fairer option of a bracket reset. Make heretics have to win 2 sets to win?

It's only fair to give the upper bracket winner an advatange. Geng did it during Madrid and SEN still beat them.

Keep barking

In a momentum based game like valorant playing less games is actually a bad thing. Throughout this year teams have had deep runs cause they find their form in their matches. Sen KC Heretics Gen G all examples of this

I agree double map bans kinda broken but you cannot think of any advantage that you can give other than that

heretics roll geng 3 0 without this cringe ass better team needs an advantage bs

they win sunset and bind

Historically it's not even been that great
Optic, fpx, sentinels and eg all won from the lower bracket

Isn't having 1 more day to Prac (since you don't have to play the lower finals) + beeing the first pick advantage enough ?

^this

So what is your suggestions for the flawless team outside of crying about it?

this format is actually brilliant kekw they should implement this shit on cs2 majors too

In a real double elim tournament the team from lowers has to reset the bracket before they even have a chance of winning the tournament. You're just a whiner.

Exactly!
Only teams to win with ban advantages are Loud fnc and geng
This ban disadvantage just makes the lower brac team to play better

Did you forget about sunset and bind? They are literally the best in the world on those 2 maps, and even without them they still managed to take 2 maps. Had they also had more practice time they could’ve improved their breeze, and split and whatnot.
