Rules:
Tournament is Open Sign-up
Server Rules: Fairest Server at Admin's discretion
Players may claim a walkover win if their opponent doesn't show up within 15 minutes. Contact an Admin (Steadfast or Rotterdam) either in-game or on discord in order to claim the walkover.
The chat channel is the players' primary method of contacting their opponents. Failure to be present in the in-game chat channel may lead to disqualification.
If a draw happens for whatever reason, then that game must be played again on the same map.
Players may stream their own games, but if they decide to, then they acknowledge the risks associated with doing so. Also, players reserve the right to decline any non-official caster who wishes to stream/observe their matches.
No barcodes
Race switching mid-series is allowed.
No cheating/hacking of any form is tolerated. Any offenders will be removed from the bracket and banned from future events.
Excessive BM/toxicity is not tolerated as well. Should any players experience this in-game, send a screenshot to the admin Steadfast or Rotterdam via Discord and if they determine the evidence is enough, the offending player will be removed from the bracket.
Map Vetos:
The highest seeded player will be veto A unless the players cannot decided on a fairest server, in which case, the player with the higher seed gets to choose whether they are A or B, or if they want server advantage: this case should only come up in the situation of EU vs. KR, wherein the players must choose between WCW or CWC.
