After finding your opponent on the bracket, you need to contact him and figure out together the best time and day for your match. When this is done you need to post it in the #schedule channel. Format: icefrog vs icecat 01.01 11:11 MSK.
If you did not contact your opponent or could not play the match within the allotted time (without notifying the organizers in advance) - you will receive a forfeit.
It is allowed to postpone the game if you have warned your opponent and organizers at least 4 hours before the start.
If you are running late, after 30 minutes - you forfeit the first game of BO3. After 45 minutes of waiting or more - your opponent wins the match. Unpredictable situations can happen too, so there might be some exceptions to this rule.
When the match is over, you or your opponent need to post the result in the #results channel. Example: Chambiq 2 : 0 Dreamhunter.
If your opponent from the next stage is ready to play with you ahead of the schedule, it is okay to do so before the semi-finals (not after).
In the lower bracket Random Hero Trade is used. Here's how it works:
If your match has commentators, they will use Random Hero Roulette and tell you which 2 Heroes you must trade for.
If no one is casting the game:
Go to this link: Random Hero Roulette and spin the wheel twice. If both Heroes belong to the same faction - reroll last Hero. If opponent wants to see the rolls, offer him to come to your stream.
Players can pay 500 gold to re-roll the pair (once per player). Both Heroes must be re-rolled.
When the pair of Heroes is set, players start trading for the preferred combination of Hero + Town, whoever wins the trade - picks Hero first.
Then they trade for the color, do gold transfer and start the game.
