chellI don't think home team going to higher seed has ever been a thing unless im dumb. Last szn there were many times where we'd be first/2nd seed and much lower seeded teams would be the home team. Maybe in advanced it's been consistently different but I don't think that's the case.
has been a thing before, but never for the pick ban match format. usually at worst you just have to play on dallas if the other team cares about it.
