Roster & Substitutes

Substitutes are not allowed throughout the tournament. Teams must play with the registered roster at all times throughout the entirety of the tournament.

Maximum Character Limit

All three players on a team must utilize different characters in a game. For example, two players on the same team cannot play Decanee at the same time.

Lobby & Ban Information

Ley is automatically banned.

The better seeded team (team 1) will ban one job for both teams, followed by the lower seeded team (team 2) banning the second job for both teams.

Teams will join the lobby simultaneously. Players may swap characters and jobs based on their opponent’s set up. Should teams not come to an agreement and continuous swapping occurs, all players will leave the lobby and rejoin and must stay as their selected character/job for that match.

For all matches, bans will remain the same and teams will switch who enters first after each game.
