Lowkey I feel like an extra map ban isnt enough for being in the winners side of the grand finals. They should start the series at 1-0 imo
Never gonna happen, the format is designed for entertainment, not competitive fairness.
+1 to the upper bracket team will give a chance for them to 2-0 the grand final and make the grand final super short which is anticlimatic.
bracket reset would be too long for the audience to watch.
idk if there's even any other advantage they could give to the upper bracket team, maybe free rounds, agent ban, idk.
