New Rules for 1v1 NA
Date: 22nd October 2017
Steps to join your match
- Make sure your Steam account is linked when you first register for the tournament
- When your tournament starts, wait for the bracket to be seeded by the admin
- Once the bracket has been seeded, you should then click on your matchup in the bracket page
- You will be presented with a “Start Match” button, click on that to generate your matchup’s lobby
- Go into your Dota 2 game and there should be an invite to a lobby from “battlebot”
- Accept this invite to join the lobby. If the invite does not show up, go back to your matchup page and “resend” the invite. If that fails, you will find the server lobby and password for you to manually enter into the game.
- Use the Flip Coin feature on the Battlefy Match Page to determine which player will pick side for Game 1. The player that did not pick will pick the side for Game 2.
- Once both sides are ready (please verify with the other player by asking “Ready?”), then one player from either team can type “!start” to lock in the tournament and begin the countdown
- Good luck and have fun!
Important Note
