Players and squads can be disqualified if they:

• Do not show up at scheduled start times.
• Purposely stall or attempt to block the tournament from starting.
• Use emulators or any other kind of third-party tools/hacks which allow them to play the game on a PC. Do this and your entire squad will be disqualified.
• Intentionally use bugs, glitches, or errors. First offences of this type will result in a squad forfeiting their game. Second offences will result in elimination from the event and all future events.
• Add, modify, or remove game files from their intended state.
• Intentionally change their character’s angle to look through texture or object. Players are not allowed to set two actions to the same key in key bindings.
• Indulge in betting during the course of the tournament (by a player, squad, or on behalf of anyone associated with a squad). Betting will result in disqualification from the tournament and a six-month ban.
• Undertake personal streaming without prior approval from Tencent Games. This offence can lead to squad disqualification, or a tournament ban for the offender.

Note: Participants can choose to forfeit a match if they wish. Forfeiting will result in 0 points from that match.

• Players must use their own devices.
• Players must install the newest version of the game. Updates must be installed before the tournament starts.
• Players are responsible for their own technical issues (hardware/internet). Matches will not be rescheduled or paused due to technical issues. If a player gets disconnected during a match, the squad will continue to play.
• Tencent Games reserves the right to edit In-Game Names and/or URL aliases. Squads or player names that are too similar to those of other squads or players are subject to be changed. If a squad name has been wrongly seized, please file a support ticket with proof of ownership.
• Casting a match is only permitted with approval from Tencent Games.

• If a match has been incorrectly reported into our system, your squad has 10 minutes to report it. Match protests must include media evidence clearly indicating results of the match/series. Squads are responsible for providing proof of match results.
• A rematch can only be initiated by an admin/moderator. Disconnects and lag issues will only qualify for a rematch if the issue occurs within the first 60 seconds of a game and affects a significant number of players.
• All participants must adhere to the decisions of tournament organizers, admins, and referees. All decisions are final, except in cases where the option to appeal is clearly stated.
• Conversations, either verbal or written, between organizers, admins, or referees, and participants are confidential. Publicly sharing these conversations is strictly forbidden, unless permission is obtained.
