Hero Point System
In the semi-finals & finals lobbies of games for both solos and trios, a hero points system will be used. An additional pick/ban system will be used in the finals. This is meant to promote variety in team compositions.
TRIOS: If a team exceeds 9 points, their score in the match that they exceed 9 points will be nullified.
SOLOS: If a player uses a hero more than 2 times across 6 games, their score in the match that they exceed this count will be nullified.
Trios Hero Points Scoring System
| Times Hero Used | Points Consumed | Accumulated Points Consumed |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 2 | 0 | 0 |
| 3 | 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 8 |
| 5 | 7 | 15 |
Trios Hero Points Example

| Game 3 | Yoto Hime | Viper Ning | Temulch | 9 | No |
| Game 4 | Yoto Hime | Viper Ning | Temulch | 24 | Yes |
