How Will The Tournament Be Played? The minimum number of players for the tournament to take place is 32 and the maximum is 64. The most optimal number of players for the tournament structure is divisors of 8. The tournament will take about 2 - 3 hours depending on the length of the matches. There will be a total of 3 matches. For 64 players: In the first round, there will be (8) matches with (8) players each. The top (4) players from each match will advance. In the second round, there will be (4) matches with (8) players each. The top (2) players from each match will play in the final. Top (3) from the final match will receive prizes. Note: The format might differ based on the number of players that are missing. Once the registrations are closed, the matches will be posted in this thread and announced in the Underlords - Competitive Discord server. The player who will create the lobby and have the responsibility to invite the rest of the players will be selected by the tournament administrator on the spot. Lobbies will be discussed only in the #lobbies channel so players can find them easily. Players will have 10 minutes from the time of the matches to join the lobbies and start. If any players do not make it in time, they will be replaced with other players present in the Discord server. If there are players missing in a match, the host must enable bots on Challenging difficulty (they won't be counted as winners, they're only there for balance). Winners must take a screenshot of the victory and post it in the #results channel. For convenience, it is preferred that you use your DOTAFire username when playing in the tournament both on Discord and Steam. :) The fastest way to ask questions or report issues is to contact Hades4u via the official Underlords Discord server.

Fine Print Registration starts today (August 22th) and ends in three days from now (August 25th). The minimum number of players for the tournament to take place is 32 and the maximum is 64. If more than 64 players register, the first 64 players that have registered will play. However, the extra players are free to check-in just in case there are available spots from the players that didn't show up. Don't give up! :) Open to registered DOTAFire members only. Not a member?
