Two Mans Left 2v2 Tournament (CHAMPIONS: HOLYSAB & PHARMAFAN!)

[GreatGonzales]

Attention remaining tournament competitors:

I have a question regarding the handling of FTA in the post-update arrangement. As you know, the current tournament rules attempt to mitigate FTA in the following way:

1. Higher seed starts game and chooses map
2. Lower seed starts game and chooses map
3. Higher seed starts game, lower seed chooses map

The idea being to keep things fair, but to the extent that an advantage must be given to one team over the other, we defer to the higher seeded team (i.e. it was a bigger advantage get first turn in 2 out of 3 games, rather than choose the map in 2 out of 3 games). However, now that an FTA fix has been implemented, I am calling this into question. Does the above rule now favor the LOWER seeded team? I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this, and whether we should make any amendments to the rule.
