If you decide to stream, we demand that you include “GLL S2 Qualifiers” in your streaming title and also that you are using a delay of 10 min. This is for your own and other teams safety.
If you are a caster and wants to cast any of the matches played in Season 2 qualifier, please contact a GLL representative to get approval to do so.
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 rounds will be played back to back so the teams have to join the new match 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.
Region & age restrictions
A team is only allowed to play in one region during the tournament. All team members must be of age 13 or older.

In the event of having a 2-2 split of nationalities in the the team it will be decided first and foremost by where your organisation is based. If the team is without an organisation or that your organisation is not based in either of the two regions you are players are from, then you are free to choose what region you will participate in.
