IMPORTANT NOTICE: We have updated the format for today's solo tournament qualifying phase for the betterment of the competition. Instead of a single round consisting of 6 games, we will now have 2 rounds, each comprising 3 games. After the first round of qualifiers is completed, the top 50% of players will advance to the second qualifying round. This adjustment aims to provide a more balanced and competitive experience for all participants.

    If you've updated or changed your in-game ID for any title that we support, you should also update it on EGL. For that, you need to go to to the Game & Social Accounts tab in your profile and update it. If you were already signed up to the tournament, please leave and join back again so it gets updated.
    Check-in is the tool we have to only put players that are actually available to play into our brackets, reducing the number of no-shows significally within a tournament. When signing-up, review the check-in time on the tournament overview page and come back at that time to do so by clicking on the same button that you used to register.

    Only players that checked-in correctly will appear in the bracket.
    Please note that players that register while check-in is active will be checked-in automatically.
    Matches can be seen both in the Bracket and in the Fixtures & Results pages of the tournament. Nevertheless, we recommend to visit your Dashboard to also find the reporting buttons and the comment section.
    You can try to add or invite your opponent in-game if the game allows it, but we strongly recommend to chat with them beforehand as it will also be proof of contact and will help in case any disputes come up.
    To see the comment section, go to your Dashboard and then click 'View Details' on your desired match. At the bottom of the page you will find the comment section that can also be visited by tournament administrators. Remember that to see new comments, you will need to refresh the page.
