As you can see at the top of each page, the playoff bracket has been added.
I did the draw during a stream, but I messed up and didn't record the audio:mad:
Therefore, I will explain some points for those who don't like to read the rules carefully or for whom some points remain unclear.
1. Playoff matches are played to 2 wins (i.e., BO3).
2. In the first two matches, the map and starting cities are determined by a pick-and-ban system, and the color selection rule is also used.
3. The first player in the pair is the player who is "higher" in the bracket, and the second player in the pair is, accordingly, "lower."
In the first game, the player who is "higher in the bracket" starts the map pick-and-ban and subsequently chooses the color, while the player who is "lower in the bracket" starts the city pick-and-ban. In the second match, everything happens in reverse.
* Questions may arise regarding the h3dm1 map in the first two matches. If this map remains, the server will use the HWR rules options to determine a random Castle, after which the player who has the right to choose the color selects their color. After that, the player playing as blue chooses their hero first.
4. If, after two matches, the score in the series remains tied (1-1).
*that is, a score of 1.5 - 0.5 is allowed for advancing to the next round (a draw in the first game and a win by one of the players in the second),
then the map is determined by a coin toss - numerical codes have been added to the rules, as well as to the general information about the tournament.
A negotiation takes place for the right to choose the city first (or the hero if the cities are the same) or the color.
Please note that the rules do not include a point about re-rolling - mirror cities or subjective re-rolling for 500 coins, and the negotiation is for the right to choose the city or the color.
Of course, you can agree with your opponent to conduct the negotiation on terms that are acceptable to you, but if one of the players does not want to change anything, then the tournament rules are used.
