Informations on group stage
● Each pool will be played in lobbies of 4, and players will be facing on a total of 8 maps.
● There will be one player of each seed per pool, who will all be randomly picked.
● There are no bans nor warmups during group stage.
● A player disconnected during a map will have no points for this map.
● Referees will invite you in the lobby 5 minutes before the match. Make sure to be online!
● Players will each do a !roll, the lowest score will choose a map, then the second lowest, then the third one, then the last one, and it will be done once again.
● At the end of each map the best player will win 4 points, the second one 2 points, the third one 1 point, and the last one gets 0 points.
● At the end of the 8 maps, the addition of each points will decide the two players of the pool to go to the bracket phase.
● In case of a tie for the 2nd or 1st place, the TieBreaker will be played between the players concerned.
Informations on the Bracket Phase
● The bracket is a single-elimination one, meaning that you will be out after one loss.
● Players will be put in the bracket randomly, at least making it a way that the first players of a pool will face the second player of a pool in the first round of the bracket.
● In case of any problem, the referee has all rights to give a rematch, depending on the case.
● A referee will send you a private message in-game 5 minutes before the match to make sure you've received your invite.
● Players will !roll to determine order of bans and picks.
● The winner of the roll will choose his warmup, then it'll be the loser's turn to pick it. Warmups must not go over 3 minutes.
● The loser of the roll will ban first, and the winner of the roll will ban after them. They will be rolling until both players have banned twice.
● Once the bans are done, players will be starting picks in turn, starting by the winner of the roll.
● In case of a tie at match point, the TieBreaker will be played.
