exec rgl_HL_koth_bo5" for KOTH maps (best of 5) and "
exec rgl_hl_stopwatch" for stopwatch maps (best of 3, unless both teams agree to do a best of 1).
The home team 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_lakeside_final
koth_ashville_rc2b

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

Good luck and have fun this week, please let me know if you have any questions!
