Information

Rank Requirements: There is no rank that you must be above before signing up for this event, but you must have an MM rank that you can give when you sign up. Please note that we will prioritize players in the interest of making the tournament as competitive as possible, players who we consider more reliable will likely be given spots first despite us not explicitly excluding anyone.

Commitment: Please ensure you are available before signing up for this event. There will be no more than 3 maps per night, depending on wins and losses. This is an OB event and failure to turn up after signing up can result in an event ban.

Reserves: We will still be wanting reserves in the case of players being needed. If you are unsure about being able to commit completely and wish to sign up, please do so as a reserve first and update your post later on if needed. As usual, when picking reserves the player will be either equal or worse - replacements will not always be ideal and the best fit will be provided where possible so we do not expect people to pester hosts about these decisions.

Maps: All maps which are currently on active duty will be used in this event: Cache, Cobblestone, Inferno, Mirage, Nuke, Overpass, Train.

Servers: We will be using Popflash and an OB server.

Tournament Format: This will be confirmed once we know the number of teams available to us.

Prizes: OB Champ and forum award are given to the winners. Also eternal bragging rights.

Twitch: 1 game per round will be streamed on the live OB server, no matches on popflash will be streamed.

Stats: Stats will be released shortly after tournament conclusion.

Captains: Captains will be selected and messaged either on Teamspeak or steam. You will be invited to a channel and expected to attend to pick your teams.

Games: All games will be a best of one, except the grand final which will be a best of three. All best of one games will have a knife fight for sides.

Map Bans: For the best of ones, all maps will be banned and the last one will be played. For the grand finals, each captain will ban once, then pick once, then ban until the final map. Each team will start on T side for their map pick and will knife fight for sides on the third map.
