Win Condition
A team wins by destroying the enemy Ancient. Games have no time limit and continue until one Ancient falls or a team concedes.
Concession
- Teams may call "GG" (good game) to concede a match
- Typing "gg" in team chat initiates a concession countdown
- Concession is irreversible once confirmed

- BO3: First to 2 game wins advances
- BO5: First to 3 game wins
- Side selection (Radiant/Dire) is chosen by the team that won the coin toss or has higher seed
Tiebreakers
- Head-to-head record
- Game score differential
- Time rating (average game duration)
- Tiebreaker match if all else equal
