The top seeded player will veto 3 maps. The lower seeded player will then veto 3 more maps and choose the first map to play on. Games 2 and 3(if needed) will then be played on the remaining 2 maps in a Bo3. Loser picks.
In a Bo5, the veto will go the same, however instead of 3 maps each, the players will only veto 2 maps.
