Game Setup
Players will join a lobby with an observer/referee to start the game. This tournament will be open to all regions. PC only. Observers will be located in NA.

Character Selection

Each duo will inform the observer of the characters they are playing to make sure they are able to pick them.

How to Win

For this tournament each match will include two games. The team with the most points accumulated after two consecutive games will be declare as the winner. We will be looking to synchronize the start times of each game we broadcast. Players must be ready to start their next game within 5 minutes of finishing their first game. The following is the point system that will be considered for this Showdown:

1 Kill = 1 Point

Game win = 3 Points


Sudden Death

If out of the two games the points are tied, there will be a third match for the most points. If the points are tied on the last match, the team with the most combined damage of two players on the third match will win the round.

Streaming Rules

At least 1 member of your duo must be streaming during the tournament.
You must have your delay set to at least 120 seconds (2 minutes) when you are streaming, failing to do so will result in a forfeit and or a replay of the match that was played.
You must also have your SLIVER overlay up while participating in the tournament if you are streaming.
