Welcome to RGL HL Season 17 Advanced Grand finals! As this match is a playoffs match, it will be played best of three maps along with a potential bracket reset, and the maps were decided in a ticket with pre-picks ahead of time. 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).
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
here.
Good luck and have fun this week! Open a ticket if you have any questions!
