We will be playing –sdem (single draft / easy mode) to keep down hero-picking and total game time. Backdooring, which we’ve defined as attacking a building when enemy creeps have already passed beyond its acquisition range, will not be allowed and any players who do so will be disqualified. We will begin with an elimination round in which players are shuffled and highest scores (score = Kills – Deaths + ½ Assists) advance. Next will be a semifinal from which the best 2 teams and the best player from each losing team advance, followed by a final 4v4 or 5v5, winners take all.
FYI:
Based on participants, we will do one of the following:
