Due to limitations in Mobile Legends’ Custom Draft Pick Mode (only allowing 3 bans per team), the Silken Vanguard now adopts an Additional Manual Ban Rule to deepen strategy and maintain competitive balance.

🔒 Additional Ban Mechanics:

• Each team is entitled to two (2) additional hero bans, outside the in-game draft system.
• These bans are manual and must be respected as if they were part of the official draft.

📣 Ban Communication Protocol:

• The House Warden or their designated substitute must inform their team’s in-lobby captain of the additional bans before the lobby is launched.
• The in-lobby captain is responsible for ensuring the team does not pick any of the manually banned heroes.
• Manual bans must also be announced clearly to the opposing team and the match host through the official communication channel (e.g., group chat or match thread).

❗ Violations:

• Picking a manually banned hero may result in an automatic loss for that round, forced rematch, or disqualification, depending on intent and impact.
• Ignoring or failing to relay bans will reflect on both the House Warden and in-lobby captain, and may result in administrative penalties.
