Amazonia • Concealed Hill • Echo Isles • Last Refuge • Northern Isles • Terenas Stand LV • Turtle Rock

Race selection:

Choose a race before vetoing. You are required to play that race for the whole series.

Match Process:

Matches can be found here: http://war3lovers.com/cups/wsl/war3lovers_solo_league_3

All matches are best of 3 games.
Player left side on the match list(match link – web) is player A.

Maps are vetoed in the following order by players: A B B A
3 Maps now remain.
Player A selects 1 remaining map as their map choice should they lose a game.
Player B selects 1 remaining map as their map choice should they lose a game.
The final map remaining is played first.

Reporting Result:

• Winner is responsible for reporting results on match link – web.
• Winner will then upload all replays of the match in the “Match link – web.

Disconnects:

• If before the 4 minute mark, the game is to be replayed if there was no contact.
• If after the 4 minute mark or contact between players has been made and players cannot agree on a rematch, administration will have the final say.
• For a regame all races must remain as they were. Ie. A Random player must select the race he received in the disconnected game.

Forfeits:

Forfeits of 1 or more maps from any match will result in a score of -1 applied to your standing in the group. This is to prevent forfeits and apply a punishment to those who fail to respond to communication or act as a detriment to the league. A standard 2-0 loss would result in +2 points for the winner and +0 points for the loser. Forfeiting is now even worse than losing. A few examples are listed below.


Removal from War3lovers League:

Accumulating 2 forfeits during the regular season will result in you being removed from the league and banned from Season 4.
