Hey guys! Quick update on the tournament! I just wanted to let you all know thank you for your continued support of the event I really appreciate it and it means a lot to me There was something that I wanted to address with the ruleset. Most of the rules as well as the tournament schedule will remain the same except for the Hero selection system and the way judges will be issued out. Hero Banning System
This idea was given to me by Feldfeld and it is something I personally agree with. Due to certain heroes becoming a bit of an issue within the metagame as of recently. Because of this, the hero banning format was created. The way this will work is before each set, both players will ban ONE hero from the opposing faction's list of heroes.
For example: Let's say I am going to be playing as the Kingdom of Hyrule and my opponent will be playing as the Kokiri. Both players will select their civilization and then message a judge which of your opponent's heroes you wish to ban. So for this example if I am playing as the Kingdom of Hyrule, I will tell the judge that I wish to ban Saria. Simultaneously, the other player will tell the judge who they wish to ban so for this example let's say my opponent wishes to ban Link. After both players tell the judge what they wish to ban, the judge will let them know what heroes they can't play and then the players will continue on and play the rest of the Best of 3 set. Should either player intentionally select a banned hero, a judge should be alerted and informed so that they may issue a strike to that player as well as a lose of that game but not the set. So let's say for example if Link was banned but I picked Link anyway and played him, a judge will be informed and it will result in me automatically losing the game. Judge Issuing
There are currently 3 judges involved with the War of Twilight team at the moment. These judges being users rain_ironwolf, Darkinterloper, and Exodarion. You will need to get in contact with at least one of these judges before you and your opponent can play your match in order to issue out hero bans. You will also need to get in contact with one of these judges should your set go to a third match in order to have them issue out a double blind rock-paper-scissors. Lastly, should any of the rules be broken or any unsportsmanlike conduct is seen, please send a replay + a screenshot of the discrepancy in question to one of these judges and they will address it as soon as they can. Replays
This is just a friendly reminder that after EVERY tournament set, either you or your opponent will need to send a zipped file to one of the judges with all of the replays of your match. These replays need to be in individual folders in order to distinguish between games.
For example: Let's say you send a zipped file of your match to a judge and you played 3 games within that set. You will need to have 3 folders in that zipped filed named game 1, game 2, and game 3. You are not required to name them this just so long that it is clear as to which game is which within the match.
THANK YOU EVERYONE I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT SO MUCH!!! I CANT WAIT FOR THE TOURNAMENT TO START!
