Brawler bans
For every match in the cup, either automated or not, the following ban rule is also in place:

○ For every match, teams are allowed to ban 1 brawler each. Both banned brawlers cannot be used by either team for the duration of the match.

○ For the ban to be valid, the teams should ban them in the following order:

○ The team on the left side of the match page on ESL Play bans one brawler of their choice, writing down his name in English as a match comment and posting it.

○ After the team on the left side of the match page has banned the brawler and posted it, the team on the right side of the match page is allowed to ban a brawler of their choice in the same manner.

○ After both teams have banned the brawler and those bans are clearly visible on the match page, the match can be started.
