  • If you are playing your match on a different server, tell the admin first. Otherwise walkover rules may be applied.

  • Only admins and approved casters can be added to the game as observers. No other observers allowed.
  • Players can switch races between series. They have to announce the race they choose to the opponent before conducting the veto process and have to commit to that race for the whole Best of X match. Choosing Random as a race is allowed.
  • Please send your replays to our email address (cranklings @ gmail . com) with tag [GPO] in the title. The replay pack will be sent to CranKy Ducklings' Twitch subscribers and Patreon supporters.
  • If a player disconnects, the game will be continued using the "Resume from replay" option in the game. If the disconnecting player does not return after 15 minutes, they may forfeit the match. Players seen watching replays while waiting for another player to return will forfeit that match.
