Win Conditions

The game will end when a team achieves any one of these win conditions.

  • First team to 2 kills.
  • First team to get 150 total CS.
  • First to destroy their opponent’s turret.

Format & Procedure

The tournament will be a single-elimination bracket.

The team on the upper side of the bracket (or the left side of the matching page) will play on the blue side. The team on the lower side of the bracket (or the right side of the matching page) will play on the red side.

Before each game, both teams will name 3 champions each and neither team will be able to pick those 6 champions for that game. Then the game will begin in blind pick.

The winners will report the scores.

Teams have 5 minutes to start their game after the round starts. Failure to show up on time will result in disqualification.

Once players are in-game, there will be no restarting the game unless there is a server side issue.

Pausing and Disconnections

There will be no restarting of any games if a disconnection happens from a player’s side. The game cannot be paused either. Players are responsible for staying connected to the game for its duration.

If you disconnect, you may reconnect and continue playing but you will not receive any sort of handicap.

Data & Records

Each team should take screenshots after each round. The winners of each round must send the screenshots in our chat on discord.
