The places determine the lineups for the semis so I guess thats a TYPE of advantage...
But what advantage does 3rd get over 4th?... and 1st over 2nd?...
I think 1st map selection and 2nd player selection is good... for example.. FaDe A v KA in 1st round play offs (Fade 1st, KA 2nd)
Fade picks map.
KA picks their first player
Fade picks their first player...
Its not a big deal - but can give a slight advantage to FaDe.
