The day is close. Tomorrow, at 15:00h GMT, the Open Qualification Tournament for our first crowd-funded event will begin. To make it as interesting and exciting as possible for everyone involved, whether viewer, player or caster, we decided to update the Rules:
Open Qualifier Banned Units, Abilities, and Commanders
Banned Unit:
The British Forces Vickers MG. This unit is bugged in such a way that it cannot be used normally without exploiting the advantage given by the bug. If you build this unit, and your opponent requests adjudication against you, you will be disqualified.
Banned Ability:
Using a British Forces glider to crush and destroy and OKW truck is considered an exploit. If you do this, and your opponent requests adjudication against you, you will be disqualified.
Banned Commanders:
Soviets Partisans
USF Rifle Company
The British Forces Special Weapons Regiment (Croc)
The British Forces Vanguard Operations (Croc)
Wehrmacht Elite Troops
If you select one of these commanders in-game, and your opponent requests adjudication against you, you will be disqualified.
*note: these bans are for the Open Qualifier Tournament only. They will be re-evaluated after the September 21 (or 22nd) Hotfix, before The Main Event.
