i mean didnt mandem have pick ban advantage, so ofc they were favored to win the early maps

if it was map adv, the early maps would be banned and so map 1/2 of a map adv series would probably be map 2/3/4 of the real series and it would still be close

ofc when you get an incredible 5 mapper like that it's awesome, but in many cases, 2-0 (plus map adv) would just be 3-0 and then you're watching 45 mins extra of roll

i feel like the times where the bo5 map advantage series are over fast, it's just becuase the UB team with advantage is just better. If you give that team no map advantage, but huge pick ban advantage, then they just steamroll the first map or two and then you're in the same position except you had to wait 45 minutes watching a roll (plus break in between maps) to get to the same place. Ofc sometimes the lower team can put up a fight on those maps, but then they'd also be putting up a fight with map advantage and it'd still be a close series

the other team has literally lost an entire series while the ubf winner hasn't. SOMEONE has to face them in grands, so that argument doesn't really hold. They definitely need some advantage

i feel like with 5 maps in the pool, giving a map adv and then 1 banned map for bo5 is kinda fine no

bump for miniature season

just add a vote to kill that requires like 11 or 12 out of 12 to go through

or even like ur only allowed to use it if the pug is broken if you dont want people killing pugs just cuz they dont look fun

but theres no reason to be stuck in there

are we a 930 team or a 1030 team

sniper was extremely strong on the previous version (where u can get non-jumping classes onto your own roof via the ledge above trench) and I don't think any of these changes have really messed with that but maybe we just didn't have good enough ideas on how to stop him

This isn't the first tournament they have hosted; did they pay out the money? Were there problems running the events?

(I don't know if the money got paid out but I think it did iirc)
