Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rivality?
Rivality is an event created to make the start of season 16 exciting! It highlights the rivalry between NA and EU regions. Team captains, iReaz & Solarbacca, have created their own teams of 24 players. Their goal: collect the most LP for their team. The region with the highest total amount of points wins the event!
How long does Rivality last?
The event lasts 20 days. Once Ranked mode is enabled at the start of season on January 8th, players will be able to grind the ladder as much as they want for the following 20 days.
Detailed Rules
Establishment of the rules
The rules were discussed between iReaz, RBC, and Solarbacca, to which all three agreed. Keep in mind, this is the first edition of Rivality, some rules might not be perfect but we'll use this first experience as a chance to improve them for future editions.
Amount of Games
After seeing the result of the poll sent to the players and a call among all three organizers of the event, we decided to do this First edition of Rivality with NO game limit. We want the players to feel free and not restricted. This way, no player will feel pressured and they can play as much (or as little) as they want.
DuoQ
✅ This rule was last updated on January 12th
After receiving feedback and hearing about the frustration of the players about being unable to duoQ with players outside of the event, the streamers are now able to duoQ with anyone, even if their duo is not participating in Rivality. Although, if a streamer plays duoQ with someone from the Event, they both need to be on the registered account. (Unless both of them are on non registered account, then it does not matter.)
Streaming
To make it easier for the referees and keep the competition fair, the players MUST stream every game played during the event (on the registered account) so it's easier to analyze and avoid any potential form of cheating. Also, to promote the event and keep the viewers interested in the competition, we're asking you to please add something like "[Rivality]" or "!Rivality" at the start of your Stream Title. You can have a command linking to either this Doc or the Leaderboard Website (or both). It is also encouraged to raid the other players to keep the hype of the event alive as well as promoting the other participants and supporting them.
Smurfing
The players are allowed to play on other accounts during the event, BUT only ONE account will be allowed to be registered in order to collect LPs for their region and own ranking. Second League accounts won't be taken into account for the event. While playing on another account, make sure to respect the following rules in the "MANIPULATION" category.
Manipulation
Any manipulation of the event (Stream Sniping, Ghosting, Win Trading, etc…) is prohibited. If such a case is detected among the players, sanctions will be imposed. Such as forfeiture of the prize money or exclusion from the event. Let's keep it fair.
