Game rules

Rule changes

Tournament organizer reserves the right to amend, remove, or otherwise change the rules, without prior notice. Also reserves the right to make judgments on cases not specifically covered by the rulebook in order to preserve the spirit of fair competition and sportsmanship

Formats and schedule

The main tournament will follow a 4 teams round robin group stage with 2 teams advancing to playoffs. Playoffs will be played out with a double elimination bracket.

Game version

The tournament will use the latest available version of the game client. If the latest available version is considered unplayable due to bugs or extreme balance changes within close proximity to the event by the tournament administration, an older version might be used if it's available for rollback. Any update during the event may result in a rollback to the initial version (if possible).

Map selection procedures

The map(s) selection process will take place 15 minutes before the scheduled start of the game on the Discord platform. Participants will be notified of the platform ahead of time. If a team is 10 minutes late for the announced map selection start time, their remaining picks and/or bans will be randomised by the tournament administration.

Best-of-one (Bo1) matches

A coin toss winner decides whether they will be Team A or Team B. Team A starts the process and the order of the ban/pick is as follows:

  • Team A removes two maps.
  • Team B removes three maps.
  • Team A removes one map.
  • The remaining map will be played.

The starting sides on the map are determined by a knife round.

Best-of-three (Bo3) matches

A coin toss winner decides whether they will be Team A or Team B. Team A starts the process and the order of the ban/pick is as follows:

  • Team A removes one map.

  • Team A picks one map.
  • Team B picks one map.
  • Team B removes one map.
