01 — Draw
The captain or a representative of each team must attend the draw.
The draw will determine the bracket and the opening matchups.
02 — Preparation match
A friendly preparation match will be organised during the first week, at the start of the tournament, to test playing conditions and ensure everything works correctly.
03 — Format
All matches are BO3, including the final. The tournament uses double elimination:
- Winner Bracket (upper bracket)
- Lower Bracket
A team that loses in the Winner Bracket continues in the Lower Bracket.
A team eliminated from the Lower Bracket is eliminated from the tournament.
The goal: friendly competition.
04 — Scheduling and reporting
To help the organisers track the tournament, please schedule your match in the dedicated MATCHS and RÉSULTATS Discord channels.
Include:
- The date and time
- The teams involved
- The final result after the match
Keeping evidence of the result is recommended in case of a dispute: a screenshot, FACEIT result, server score, etc.
05 — Playing matches
All matches are BO3. Matches may be played:
- On our servers
- On FACEIT
- In CS2 matchmaking
Both teams must agree on the platform or server.
What matters most is the final match result.
06 — Map pool
The tournament uses the official Counter-Strike 2 map pool.
The organisers will communicate the map pick and ban system before matches begin.
07 — Late arrival and forfeits
A 15-minute grace period is allowed for late arrivals.
After this period, if a team has not arrived and has not reported a problem, the team present wins by forfeit.

Fair play and respect for opponents are mandatory. The following are prohibited:
- Toxic behaviour
