So in relatively new to the ban system and I thought I had it figured out but the ban phase during that second match threw me off. So ASU got first ban, UTA bans, ASU picks up Sonya, UTA picks up illidan, and then ASU gets brigtwing??? Wasn't ASU supposed to get two picks? This led to ASU getting first and last pick. Is this normal? Wtf happened?

It casters did say on the stream there was some kind of error. They weren't sure what went wrong but it definitely wasn't intended. Other than that I don't recall anyone mentioning it again.
They probably draft before it start showing live, so it was probably input or graphical glitch on production side of things.
Graphical error. Yesterday they showed Rexxar instead of Rehgar in a draft.
Maybe, but this actually affected the order of the picks. They could have taken brightwing from ASU and that was a key element that match.
It's one thing to display the wrong hero, it's another thing all together to screw up the selection process.
The true order was probably UTA bans, ASU bans, UTA picks Illidan, ASU picks Sonya & BW to counter, then UTA picks two more. Production just messed up showing the picks in the right order. The website they use for drafting would now allow the draft to occur in the order that was displayed live.
Edit: the team who lost the previous game picks 1st. UTA lost the previous game. This confirms my assertion that UTA picked Illidan 1st.
I wasn't watching but I've never seen what you just described here in any pro match ever. Only thing I can think of is they passed their pick? If that is even possible...
Exactly me neither it was weird.
