Welcome to RGL HL Season 16 Newcomer Playoffs. 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 Mall security 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_final
koth_lakeside_r2
cp_steel_f12
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.
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 or DM your division admin if you have any issues.
