You're not permitted to watch a stream if your team is playing
Why?

Numberz_ May 16, 2016 at 11:05 AM UTC

You're not permitted to watch a stream if your team is playing
Why?
If you're playing in the match you can't stream snipe (use the stream to give your team a better advantage). Even though most streams have delays players can still use it to view the opponent's defence. I don't really see the issue if you aren't in the TS chat.

@OP: This list seems kind of confusing to me. But thanks for actually making a detailed description for the punishments.

It's TDM though, streams won't help much if they do

Glesmon May 16, 2016 at 12:05 PM UTC

Some player could figure out a way to use a stream to their advantage. It's just better if you can't just watch the streams in my opinion

Numberz_ May 16, 2016 at 12:05 PM UTC

Oh, I didn't know it was only tdm xD

Myv May 16, 2016 at 5:05 PM UTC

We have to use TS? ffs

Robin_DD_J May 16, 2016 at 6:05 PM UTC

Are Dat boi memes allowed

Riilo May 16, 2016 at 9:05 PM UTC

We have to use TS? ffs
Yes, its not that hard to use.

snsxc May 16, 2016 at 9:05 PM UTC

Can i use labymod?

PosteGamer May 16, 2016 at 10:05 PM UTC

Can i use labymod?
I think that you can but wait for a Official answer.

Sevoo May 16, 2016 at 10:05 PM UTC

Couple of questions.

Is LabyMod allowed?

Also, a modification which is almost the same as Rei's minimap is an option to download with LabyMod, it's called Xaero's minimap.

DaFrozenBlaze May 16, 2016 at 10:05 PM UTC

Laby is allowed

Cyclops May 17, 2016 at 2:05 AM UTC

LabyMod is allowed.
Although, as to Xaero's Minimap, I'm gonna have to give that a big no-no due to the fact that you can toggle player display on this.

Cyclops May 18, 2016 at 4:05 PM UTC

Rule Change (Team Requirements) Underlined = New You may only have one account on team you’re playing with. Any alternatives accounts in the same or different team(s) that are participating in the tournament will be removed. You will also be ejected from the team you plan to play with.

c4ooo May 18, 2016 at 7:05 PM UTC

I believe this rule is flawed:
"During tournament matches, teams must use the Avicus teamspeak to communicate, no other communication devices will be allowed."
One (unlikely) example: two people are in the same team and are sitting in the same room. This rule means that the two people can only communicate through teamspeak, despite them being in the same room. 
More likely example scenario: MC chat. Does this mean teams cant talk to each other in MC chat?

I think you're overthinking it a little.
With this rule, we mean vocal communication.
Obviously you would be allowed to use team chat :P

Ohh haha. It would be nice however if we could use something other then teamspeak ;)

are you sure they'll be enough space in the avicus ts for every team playing at the same time to be there

PokerFace May 20, 2016 at 3:05 AM UTC

LOL.

I just checked the teamspeak information and it says there is only space for 120 slots. 

You amaze me, nobody else would have thought of that.

Xuph May 20, 2016 at 4:05 AM UTC

LOL.

no, we would. last time there was a major event (robo uhc i think) and it had a lot of people i remember ts having issues.

Tazz May 20, 2016 at 6:05 AM UTC

Yea, 8 teams at once x 10 players (roster size +2 subs) = 80.

DaFrozenBlaze May 20, 2016 at 7:05 AM UTC

It was thought of and brought up, but what Tazz said

Wouldn't hurt to have more slots tbh

Temporarily??? Twice? Why not permanent?

Tazz May 20, 2016 at 8:05 PM UTC

Temporarily??? Twice? Why not permanent?
Because radar and xray is a temp ban, second offence a perm. The second offence is for another player in the team.

lgmatias May 21, 2016 at 1:05 AM UTC
