Rules & Notes

• A team can use up to a maximum of 1 merc per map and simultaneously. A match cannot be played with 2 mercs in one team and will result in a default loss.
• There are no default mercs in this cup. If you need a merc, you will need your opponent to accept the merc. Playing with an unapproved merc will result in a default loss.
• The 2v2 roster size has been raised from 3 to 5 players, leaving more room for substitutes. We recommend to make use of this additional space.
• Matches cannot be played outside the result deadline (visible on the matchpage) and will be nullified. Make sure to play and submit your matches within the result deadline.
• If a team receives a third Default Loss during the competition, or two Default Losses in a row, they will be expelled from the competition. Nullifications count as a default loss.
