  • Draft tool settings: Starting team = Random
  • Teams take turns banning maps until 5 maps are left (7 for a BO7 series) - the remaining 5 or 7 maps will make
    up the map pool used for the series - teams will then continue banning until there is only 1 map left - that map will be the first one played in the series
    • The team that went second in the drafting process will get to choose the starting side (attack or defense) for the first map
  • For game 2 and onwards the loser of the previous map will choose the next map from the map pool that was 
    determined in the map draft and the winner of the previous map will get to choose the starting side - each 
    map can only be played once in a series
