Global Ban&Pick Rules
(January 2025)
1.1 Global Ban&Pick Rules
Global Ban&Pick mode introduces the following rules:
(a) Heroes used in the previous Games cannot be used for the remaining Games. Each hero can only be used once per Team in a Match.
(b) The referee will automatically ban heroes used in the previous Games and these heroes cannot be banned or picked during draft.
(c) The usage limit of a hero applies to the Team as a whole, not individual players.
1.2 Ultimate Battle
In a BO7 Match series, if the Match is tied 3-3 after Game 6, the Ultimate Battle will commence.
(a) After the crystal is destroyed, Game 6 losing team coach will have 60s to choose side.
(b) After the side selection, Coach and registered staff are allowed to come on stage for 3 minutes to complete the hero lineups and challenger spells sheet for Game 7. The time will start counting when the Coach comes to the stage, and the referee will give a signal for the countdown at 1 minute, 30 seconds, and 10 seconds. At the end of this period, the Coach must submit the sheets to the referees.
(c) After the lineups are confirmed with referees, Coaches from both sides need to shake hands at the center of stage. Then both teams may go back to waiting room for game break.
(d) Game 7 will be played in Normal 5v5 mode with no Bans. Players must choose the same hero and use the challenger spells submitted.
(e) A sanction, amounting to 30% of the Team's final prize pool earnings, will be imposed if players do not adhere to the submitted hero lineups and challenger spells. The Game must restart until the final lineups match the submission.
(f) If a Team fails to submit the hero lineups and challenger spells within 3 minutes, the Team must use the lineup from Game 6 in Game 7.
