Rules
Team Eligibility
- There are no requirements on any of the players.
- If a single player on the team is disqualified for any reason, the entire team will be disqualified.
- Trash-talking and taunting is fine but be reasonable. If it goes too far, there will be a warning or potential disqualification. This will be up to the digression of the TOs.

- If you or your team has any troubles submitting your sign-up form, please contact me or a TO through a Discord DM.
- Teams will be announced on 8/23 at 8pm CST in this thread.
- Games will be announced in the Discord thread . Once a match is announced, each team has 5 minutes to verify they are ready by their Team Captain replying to the match announcement. If there is a no-show,, the team will be disqualified and the win given to their opponents.
- The Team Captains of both teams will flip a coin. The winner will choose whether they would like to be Amber or Blue side.
- The Team Captains will then conduct a Draft. A diagram of the pick order can be found here:
- After Drafting is complete, both Team Captains will notify a TO that they are ready to start.
- A lobby join command will be sent to each Team Captain. To enter it, press F7 in the main menu (of Deadlock) and paste the command into the console.
- Once everyone has joined, the game will start.
- Once the match is complete, the results should be reported with a screenshot by the winning Team Captain in this thread.
- The finals will be a best of 3. After each game, there will be a 5 minute break. The losing Team Captain will then choose whether they want Amber or Blue and then repeat the process as before.
- The Team Captain of the team who wins the tournament will be contacted and will be given details on how to receive their prize money.
Q & A
- Where will the games be streamed?
- The official Deadlock Discord server, starting at 5:30pm CST.
- We have no high-MMR players, can we still sign up?
- Of course, there are no restrictions on who can sign up. After high-MMR teams are chosen, the remaining spots will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- Can I enter as a solo player?
- As of right now, no. It's a bit too hard to organize unfortunately.
- Why is this being done through Discord threads? Isn't it a bit unwieldy?
- Yes, unfortunately we are not allowed to post Discord links to another server.
- I'm funding this out of my pocket. If you want to donate to increase the size of the prize pool, shoot me a DM.
