Suggestions & Problems concerning rules: [[e-mail]](mailto:[e-mail])

# 2. General
- All players need to have the Belgian or Dutch nationality.
- Because of this, we require all players to play from a Belgian or Dutch residency. If however you have a valid reason for playing from a foreign country, you can be whitelisted. In order to be whitelisted, you should send an email to [[e-mail]](mailto:[e-mail]), providing substantial evidence to prove your claim. Whitelisting has to be approved *BEFORE* check-in opens in order to be able to compete in the tournament.
- Each player needs to check in at the start of EVERY round of the tournament. If you fail to check in you'll be automatically fully forfeited from the tournament.
- If you are AFK in your first match you will be disqualified.

**We will be very strict about these three points. Failing to comply with the above rules will result in an instant disqualification. There will be no discussion in chat about this.**

## 2.1 Chat
- Spamming & excessive memeing is not allowed.
- Links are allowed, but only to appropriate content.
- Try to keep all chats on one line.
- Flaming / Toxic behaviour is not allowed

**Admins & Moderators will mute players who don't comply to these rules.**

## 2.2 Assistance
- If you need an admin or moderator, use the create a ticket button during a match or ask for help in tournament chat for non match related questions.
- The admin or moderator will then join your match chat to discuss the problem.
- Please keep all discussions relating your match in your matchchat and open a ticket when necessary.

**Admins & Moderators will mute players who take discussion about a match to the general tournament chat.**

## 2.3 Score reporting
- Report your score between matches so that your future opponents know how far you are in your match.
- Reporting scores can be done via your current match box in the sidebar on the right by clicking on the numbers of the current score.
- Take a screenshot of every win/DC/loss and name it accordingly.

## 2.4 Alternate accounts
- If you are playing with a gamertag that is different from the one provided on your profile you will be disqualified from the tournament. We will always update the gamertag on your profile before making this decision. If you connected the wrong account to your profile you can send an email to [[e-mail]](mailto:[e-mail]) to get your gamertag changed.

## 2.5 Disconnects
- If a player disconnects during a game and is unable to re-connect to finish the game, that disconnecting player forfeits one game.
There will be NO exceptions regardless of when the disconnect occurred.
- Don't leave the game when your opponent disconnects until you have confirmation by the moderator that you get granted a win.
- If both players disconnect the game must be replayed immediately without a break between games.
- Leaving the game without confirmation of your opponent to replay (in case of lag for example) will result in a loss for that game! Always take a screenshot of said so confirmation.

## 2.6 Various information
- Starting the game or joining the lobby means you accept it's match settings.

#3\. Game Rules

- Upper bracket games will be a BO3, lower bracket BO1 and the the finals which will be a BO5 game with winners advantage.
- The upper team will select a side first, after which sides are switched after every game.
- In a 1v1 tournament, the game type will be 1v1 Solo Mid.
- Before the match starts, both players mention 2 bans and then three different heroes. Bans are done ABAB. Banned heroes cannot be played by any player! Hero picks happen in an ABBAAB fashion (see example). They can do it via the Steam client or via the Platform. The Player at the top of the bracket of that match is player A and starts. Players are allowed to both pick the same hero(es).
- It is forbidden to change any hero picks as soon as the hero picks are locked in.
- The player at the top of the bracket creates a lobby and invites his opponent. Players will then start the 1v1 Solo Mid match, where both players will lock in their preferred hero.
- A winning hero cannot be picked anymore for the following rounds. For instance, if you win round 1 with Alchemist, you need to pick one of your other heroes for round 2 and 3.
- All hero spells, runes and items are allowed.
- Delay should be set to 2 minutes.

- The following heroes are not allowed in 1v1:
- huskar
- broodmother
- razor
- viper
- bane
- keeper of the light
- jakiro
- arc warden
- tinker
- monkey king

# 4\. Example

1. Player A bans Bane - Player B bans Jakiro
2. Player A bans Techies - Player B bans Viper

The 4 banned heroes (Bane, Jakiro, Techies, Viper) cannot be picked during the picking phase.

1. Player A picks Alchemist - Player B picks Queen of Pain
2. Player B picks Shadow Fiend - Player A picks Storm Spirit
3. Player A picks Meepo - Player B picks Lion
4. The match owner starts the game and both players get to blind pick their hero. Result: Player A picks Storm Spirit. Player B picks Queen of Pain.
5. Player A wins the match.
6. A new lobby is created and both players blind pick a hero again.
- Player A cannot pick Storm Spirit anymore: he needs to pick either Alchemist or Meepo.
- Player B is allowed to pick any of his three heroes.
7. This process repeats itself until the required amount of games is won.

# 5\. Win conditions

* First player who gets 2 kills (Standard in this mode)
* First tower (Standard in this mode)
* At the 15 minute mark, the game will end and following order will decide the winner:
1. Hero kills
2. Highest Creep Score
3. Highest number of denies

This has to be proven by taking a screenshot of your Score at 15:00 on the game clock. No screenshot to prove your score means your opponent wins the round. If all these scores are equal for both players, Admin will perform a coinflip in the dota client. (upper player calls it). **Please note the dota2 client will not warn you at 15:00 so pay attention to the clock if the game takes too long!**

# 6\. What about revive passives

A player is considered killed when the Dota2 client announces the first blood. E.g. Wraith King is considered dead when his ultimate does not trigger.

# 7\. Winning, placement, advancement

* The upper bracket matches are BO3 (best out of 3), lower bracket BO1. The final is a BO5 with winners advantage.
* Take a screenshot of every win/DC/loss and name it accordingly.
* Make sure a timestamp is visible on the screenshots for validity.
* The winner of the match moves on to the next game.
* A disqualify means you will not receive any rewards. A forfeit means you will still get the rewards.
