Disconnections / Sound bug:
- If both teams can't agree on a clear winner or a rematch, the referee will decide the outcome based on the following system:
- In case of a disconnected team's significant advantage - a rematch;
- In case of an equal situation or a disconnected team's disadvantage - a loss for a disconnected team.

Other Rules:
- Bug abuses: Deliberate use of bugs (NOT the game mechanics like pathing) that contradict the description in the tutorials and the way the game should work, for example - the endless use of WL's "Immolate" ability leads to an immediate loss in a game. In case of repeated violation - disqualification.
- Delaying: If the referee considers that a team is delaying a match / tournament, he may decide on a technical loss in one game for such a team. In case of repeated violation - a loss in the match / disqualification.
- Toxic behaviour is prohibited. The referee may give a warning in case of a minor violation. In any other case or repeated violation - may result in a loss in the game / match / disqualification at the discretion of the referee.
- In any other conflict situations that are not specified in the rules, the referee makes the final decision.
