Teams will ban maps until there are three remaining, starting with Team 1. The home team will have the ability to decide which team will act as Team 1 and which will act as Team 2. Teams will take turns banning maps from the map pool listed in 2.5. Previously played maps in the series will not count if they were played with incorrect settings. In the event that incorrect settings are loaded onto the server, the match should be stopped and restarted, with the same bans and operator selections that were previously made.
