- Teams may resubmit the form before the registration deadline to update their information. For the same captain / team, the latest submission will be considered the final valid registration.
- Since the tournament will run over a longer period of time, we recommend that teams include substitute players when registering.
- If the number of registered teams exceeds the tournament capacity, participation eligibility will be determined based on multiple factors, with priority given to registration order.
📖 Partial Tournament Rules:
- During matches, knockouts will be disabled. Character grabbing may be restricted or disabled. The final rules will be based on the version announced before the tournament.
- To ensure match stability, the tournament will use dedicated servers, so participants will need to play on PC.
- We will provide participants with dedicated Steam activation keys used to log in to the designated servers.
- When registering, teams will need to select their server node. During the qualifiers stage, teams will be grouped based on server nodes where possible.
- The qualifiers format will be adjusted and further refined based on the actual number of registered teams.
- The detailed match schedule will be announced later.
This tournament is still being optimized and improved. We welcome everyone to share feedback and suggestions on the tournament rules, format, and other related details.
We will carefully review community feedback and adjust the rules and experience when appropriate.
