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.
