What is a good alternative to 2 map ban advantage?

Since lower bracket is essential and upper finals winner team needs some sort of advantage what other alternatives there could be. 2 map bans makes grand finals less fun/competitive .

Lower bracket team has to play the first map with blindfold on

agent ban

Its not that much advantage, SEN EG FPX OPTIC still win

Hows that less competitive . Banning 2 maps is not great for competitive integrity . They need to devise some other sort of advantage . Grand finals should be on equal terms

yes it is, best team in the world should be good at all maps, being crybaby about banning maps is just admitting to being dogshit at the game imo, 2 map bans is fine, and there should always be a disadvantage for losing, makes no sense team can win every game and still be valued the same in a grand final as a team that lost. In CS its fine cuz you lose you are gone from playoffs, sure we have a lower bracket but therefore it makes sense for the team that hasnt lost yet to get a slight advantage, grand final should only be on "equal terms" if the teams have performed equally...which the lower bracket team has not.

More timeouts

OPTIC on top baby 😎😎

The upper bracket team is actually 3-4 all time in finals. loud fnatic and geng won from uppers and optic fpx eg and sentinels won from lowers. the double ban is heavily overrated, because any team good enough to make the grand finals will have a strong enough map pool where that doesnt matter. heretics took the game to 5 with 2 bans against them and 2/3 maps they lost were ones they played

If its that overrated then there is more incentive to have a different advantage system . Like extra points or something else

What if they make it so the team from winner ban a map then pick one then losers bracket gets a ban
