As this match is a playoffs match, it will be played best of three maps. You have until Friday night (72 hours before default match time) to have your picks and bans done, if you fail to pick/ban your maps in time the other team may be allowed to pick for you. The configs for playoffs will be "exec rgl_HL_koth" for KOTH maps (best of 7, unless teams agree to play a bo5) and "exec rgl_hl_stopwatch" for stopwatch maps (best of 3, unless both teams agree to do a best of 1).

The home team Mango Ice Cream will choose to be team A or team B. Map pick bans will be done in match comms.

The pick/ban order will be as follows-
A Bans | B Bans | B Picks | A Picks | A Bans | B Picks

Avaliable maps are:
koth_product_rcx
koth_cascade_rc2
koth_ashville_rc2b
pl_upward
pl_swiftwater_final1
pl_vigil_rc7
cp_steel

Please make sure you inform the enemy team of all ringers you plan to use either through match comms or in a direct message. Refer to the ringer sections here for more information. Since roster locks have taken place, please remember that a player can ring once per team after roster locks. This is regardless of if the player has been default rang or approved by the enemy team. Once the player has rang twice for a specific team after roster locks, they will be considered a permanent ringer.

Lastly, it should be emphasized that during playoffs, players will receive immediate suspensions for failing to submit POV demos, so ensure your teams are in compliance starting this week. You can read more about the system, consequences for this week and during playoffs, FAQs, as well as future expansions and improvements here.

Good luck and have fun this week, open a ticket if you have any questions!

the admin approved our other ringer "Ps2 Slim"
They also approved this ringer, https://rgl.gg/Public/PlayerProfile.aspx?p=76561198830243167&r=40

.david - Mango Ice Cream

Even if I didn't discuss it, you said no ringers.

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 09:55 AM EDT
And we don't need that med ringer cause "Ps2 Slim" can play.

Blu3jay - A Substantial Number of Bees
 07/29/2021 03:31 PM EDT
ok then use one of the approved ringers

YourExGayLover - A Substantial Number of Bees

I would like to clarify Blu3jay's statement. We are ok with either of these two players ringing for Medic:
https://rgl.gg/Public/PlayerProfile.aspx?p=76561198992237905&r=24
https://rgl.gg/Public/PlayerProfile.aspx?p=76561198830243167&r=40

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 04:01 PM EDT
That med ringer is not our med ringer he can not make it, ps2 slim is our med ringer (which the mods approved) https://rgl.gg/Public/PlayerProfile.aspx?p=76561198277428855&r=40

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 04:02 PM EDT
And that other one silliest clown, is possibly our scout ringer.

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 04:08 PM EDT
For koth : can we do a bo5 it takes hours to do bo7, and most of us don't want to keep playing until 1 am
For Payload : idc

You guys have 13 players on your roster. Are all 4 of your subs unavailable? Also we have approved these two ringers for Medic:
https://rgl.gg/Public/PlayerProfile.aspx?p=76561198992237905&r=24

We do not want to do Bo5.

Bo7 for KOTH and Bo3 for PL.

 07/29/2021 04:12 PM EDT
Our med sub is gone for the week, And KIRB IS NOT PLAYING PS2 SLIM IS PLAYING MEDIC HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 04:13 PM EDT
Why specifically don't you guys want to do a bo5? You did a bo5 with photon scooter?

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 04:15 PM EDT
It feels like you guys want the match to drag on for no apparent reason?

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 04:16 PM EDT
And silliest is playing scout, I have established this.

YourExGayLover - A Substantial Number of Bees
 07/29/2021 04:19 PM EDT
Ok so just to be clear, you will have 8 rostered players and 1 ringer for medic (PS2 SLIM, RGL listed below): https://rgl.gg/Public/PlayerProfile.aspx?p=76561198277428855&r=40

Also I want to be clear in these match comms. I requested 7 times yesterday in discord for all communications to be done via match comms, as match comms are moderated by the RGL admins. So technically this is the second time you have said anything on the record regarding PS2 SLIM. I do not see any communication with the RGL admins here in the match comms, so please stop speaking on their behalf.

I appreciate your patience with me and my team, as I am a new leader here in RGL on this team.

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 04:20 PM EDT
No, we talked to the admins, we sent you screenshots of our talk with the admins.
But you guys blocked me, made it impossible for me to send the dms.

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 04:21 PM EDT
And its 7 rostered players.

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 04:22 PM EDT
It seems to me that you guys are avoiding any sort of contact, hoping that this match ends up in a forfeit, your trying to be as strict as possible in order to win without any effort.

I am trying my best to coordinate our two teams so we can have a fair match. Once again, I appreciate your patience with me.

Regarding blocking you in discord. I asked 7 times for you to post your questions in match comms, and I was continuously bombarded with dm's in discord (a platform that is not moderated by RGL admins) to the point in which I was forced to block you, as recommended in the RGL.gg rules: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jfp2o6X4m0zdrX50kZ5YNsrvBANqxfDb-nEsRBb1wh0/view#

I appreciate all the communication that is occurring through match comms moving forward.

Can you please post the RGL info in match comms for the player that you would like to ring for scout?

.david - Mango Ice Cream

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 04:35 PM EDT
and even then, he hasn't played comp in a year, if the warnings are any concern, if he says anything racist or something I will get a different ringer.

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 04:38 PM EDT
And they got like 3 games with him.

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 04:41 PM EDT

.david - Mango Ice Cream
 07/29/2021 04:43 PM EDT
