Wait what?! That's neat! But what are the rules? Here they are!
[Tournament Format]
- We are targeting for 128 players to attend the tournament, past that cap, we will issue a group stage with pools of 4-8 players according to how many players join. If we are still under the cap of 128 players, the whole tournament will be run into double elimination.
- Be it double elimination or pools, everything will be played in Bo3 until the Top 16.
- In the hypothesis of a tie (or three way tie) during group stage, a match (or round robin) shall be played among tied players.
- Past Top 16, every match shall be played in Bo5.
- Only sparring gear is allowed, any enhancement. However Elrianode speed bottoms +8 (MAX) are also allowed.
- The first map is RANDOM.
- Upon losing a match, you will have the right to counterpick. Beware, you are not in the ability to counterpick a map you already won on
- All participants are able to register up to 2 characters, following the format displayed in the #sign-ups channel.
- Please be ready to counterpick to your second character, a time limit of 3 minutes will be issued starting the moment you switch characters in order to not delay the stream.

- All other forces, in their unique grades, are allowed.
[Policy regarding lag calls]
- You are given the right to a single lag call, if you notice lag, please drop a flag '(F1)', the game will be instantly stopped and the hosts will decide if the call was either valid or fake.
- In the hypothesis of the call being valid, the player gets 1 point added to the score.
- If the call was false, the player that made the call loses 1 point to the opposing player.
- If the lag keeps going on, the lagging player shall be disqualified.
