Teams in Lower have more momentum than teams in Upper. Considered teams in GF are all best teams so map ban advantages mean nothing . Thats why I don't think double-elim without bracket reset is most fair format, it reward teams in lower more
I dont really know Loud will ban pearl and prob fracture,haven,bind Ithink Optic would benefit more with the 2 map advantage cause they would ban Icebox,Ascent
