Welcome to RGL HL Season 17 Invite Grand Finals (Part 2!). 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 Witness Gaming 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
Available maps are:
koth_product_final
koth_ashville_final1
koth_proot_b6c-alt2
cp_steel_f12 (Alternate map: cp_steel)
pl_upward_f10
pl_vigil_rc10
pl_swiftwater_final1
In playoffs, the team that chose the map will decide which side they want to play. On Stopwatch maps, teams switch starting sides for the second half.
Please make sure you
inform the enemy team of all ringers you plan to use either through match comms or in a direct message.
If ringers are discussed in DMs, teams must also post the ringers/approval in match comms. Failure to declare ringers in match comms will result in team penalties. Refer to the ringer sections
here for more information.
Since roster locks have taken place, please remember that a player can only default ring once per team after roster locks. The ringer may still be approved by the enemy team. Default ringers only apply to the Main division and below.
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

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