This tendency is really worrying.

It doesn't fix the problem as it applies to map imbalance in Bo3s/Bo5s--the team that gets to have Blue side an extra time gets an advantage. | ||

How are the sides determined at IEM for the RR? Coin flip? | ||

I don't think that solves the issue either, though it lessens it if you believe that 1st pick has a significant draft advantage. If you think the draft advantage is significant in relation to the map advantage, then it should be purple team that gets 1st ban/1st pick. | ||

Because only then you can collect data regarding map imbalance as right now we only have blueside+firstpick data. Only by it being seperated you can actually know if and how much blue and purple are imbalanced. | ||

Curse vs Gambit ~32:50 Curse Gambit vs MYM ~26:00 Gambit So if Curse wins Azubu/Curse is in, if Azubu wins Azubu/Gambit are in. MYM can't make it. Shame, I really enjoyed Czaru's play. | ||

Or one team picks drafting order and the other picks side of field. No reason that you have to hard-link drafting order to side of field. | ||

Azubu wins against Curse, while Gambit beat MYM. Teams to advance from Group A are Gambit and Azubu. #IEM #Katowice pic.twitter.com/5XqQW9x4 | ||
