Forewords and Thanks
This is a "TransparentTV" event, and is hosted on the Heroes Lounge website and discord, but not organised by Heroes Lounge.
The event was originally heavily inspired by the "X-cup" and I am thankful for all those involved in that cup, and the cups that have come before it. This ruleset has a lot of adaptations from other tournament rulesets, so thanks to CrossAlbeo and HeroesLounge for their work on their rulesets.
The name is merely meant as a bad joke.
Behaviour and Conduct.
We expect all participants to treat every player or staff member with a high level of respect both ingame and out of game during the tournament. If staff think a player is being disrespectful, punishments can range from qualifying points being removed from a team, to disqualification in this event, and future events.
