If you want to play any other map then the given one on the matchsheet you can ask your opponent in the matchcomments and if both confirm on an other map you are allowed to play this one.

Deadlines

Deadline to request a demo: 30 minutes after the match

deadline to upload the demo: 24 hours after the request

Deadline to make a protest: 10 minutes after the match. If the match is closed a protest is not allowed (Exception: Missing Replay, Cheating)

Our opponent is not present - Def Win?!

Even if we hope that we do not have to give out def wins of course you will get one if your opponent is not present after waiting 15 minutes.

Wire Anti-Cheat is mandatory!

ESL Wire Anti-Cheat has to be used in every match of the cup! You can download the latest Version of Wire Anti-Cheat here.

Server?!

As already written in the past news the ESL does not have enough servers for all teams so please make sure that you have an own one before the cup starts! If both teams of a match do not have a server on which they can play you can open a protest and ask if the ESL can provide one. If we do not have a free one both teams have to be kicked.

Which config do we need?

For the cup we will use our current ESL Server-Config. So please make sure to download it and put it on your server before the cup starts. Important: You have to check the config before you start the match! A protest because of wrong settings is not valid after the match took place!

How does the Check-In work and what is it good for?

On Sunday there will be a Check-In starting at 13:30 CEST until 13:40 CEST to confirm your participation. This helps us having mostly teams in the tournament who are able to start playing the cup at 14:00 CEST so the tournament can run smoothly. NOTE: If you won't use the Check-In in the given time frame, you can't participate in the Opening Cup!

If you don't know the handling, here's a short explication.





Step 1 - Reservation (green)

Here you can reserve a place in the cup, but you have to confirm your participation later.

Step 2 - Confirmation (yellow)

30 minutes before the cup starts, you have to confirm your participation, if you have done that, you're in the Cup.

Step 3 - Entry (red)

You didn't get a free place in this cup? If there are not enough participants, you can still entering the cup 20 minutes before starting!
