Which map is played?

  • First map is determined by the round you are playing in. It will show on the Binary Beast tournament page and will be on a rotation (The map list order shown above). The loser of the previous map will ALWAYS choose the next map. (Example – Player A lost map 1 so Player A gets to choose map 2. Player A wins map 2 and so player B gets to choose map 3).
    Maps are never to be repeated in the same set.

Do Nots

  • Cheat, Multiaccount, Ghost the stream.
  • Flame, Whine, Abuse players admins or casters
  • Play the same map in a series more than one time
  • Players who cause long delays by going afk may possibly be removed from a running tournament. The active admin can take this decision when a match delays the progress of the whole tournament.

Don’t forget!

  • Report the game after it is finished. Winner and loser both have to report so we can confirm 100% the scores.
  • Check in shortly before the tournament begins.
  • Save all replays.
  • Add your Blizzard IDs to Binary Beast prior to the tournament beginning. Any player who does not have their code entered may be subject to removal. This is how you find your opponents and how we seed everyone.

Don’t be late!

  • Being late for 15 minutes will result in a 1 map default loss. Being late for 30 mins means you lose 2-0. ALWAYS tell an admin before you register this score as players might have a valid reason previously revealed to the admins.
