Time punctuality

It is very important to follow the timeline for each tournament during any event hosted by GLL. All information for each tournament is subject to change so it’s every players responsibility to update himself on gll.gg and GLL Discord server before the tournament/round/match or game starts regarding any changes.

If a team is missing from the lobby when it is time to start the game it will be started without them if the lobby host does not say otherwise.

All matches will be played back to back so the teams have to join the new game lobby as soon as possible.

It is the responsibility of each team captain to read discord for important messages regarding the lobby they are assigned to at all times, especially in the early part of each new game if a server restart needs to be done.

Technical issues

All players are responsible for their own technical issues both hardware and network. Matches won’t be restarted just because someone disconnects. If a player disconnects you are allowed to reconnect. In a case where problems are affecting a huge amount of the players in the game, by the game or by Steam it will be decided by the admin/admin team on a how to handle it.
