Medals!
For those that remembered the
medal vote between Option 1 and Option 2, where
Option 1 won (Special thanks to
River,
Witness and
EmperorFaz), we are proud to announce that the
medals are in the game and should ship in the next update. Once this goes live, we would appreciate everyone be patient as we work to distribute the medals. Any concerns or issues should be sent in our #help channel in the
RGL HL Discord.
The
Experimental HL Cup medal design is on the process of being finalized. Details on that will be released as soon as it is done.

Payment Registration
In the first part of the
RGL HL S2 article, we planned to push for a playoff bracket with a prize pool. Payment will be done differently, with each team having a
team fee of $99. Once a team is paid up,
all rostered players (including) substitutes are eligible to participate in the playoff matches. If a team that qualifies for the top 4 bracket is unable to front the entry fee to the tournament, we will look to the other seeded teams to see if they would be able to instead. Please contact either
exa_ or
Dimento regarding any possible payment questions.
Prize Winnings
Invite Wild Card Matches
Fast Forward will play
the Flow in the first wildcard match.
Wildcard 2:
Space Force will play the winner of the first match.
The
top 3 Invite teams have been confirmed into playoffs and will be awaiting the
winner of the wildcard matches. When this does occur, the first seed will play the wildcard winner and the second seed will play the third seed in a double elimination playoff structure.
Uber Pause Bug
For players that may be unfamiliar, there is still a bug where medics are able to continue healing a player during a pause. This allows the medic to build ubercharge. We insist that server owners update their servers with this
updated pause plugin which prevents this from happening.
NOTE: During installation, please remove the updater.smx plugin file. A fixed version will be released in the future.
For teams that abuse this exploit,
disputed rounds may be replayed and/or
punishments will be given to teams and players accordingly.
Reminders Regarding Match Comms
Please use the
match comms to coordinate any ringers or concerns you have with the match to properly document your needs. Without proper documentation, it makes our jobs as an admin much harder, and we want to be as fair as possible in the spirit of competition.
If you have anything that is sensitive or extremely important, do not hesitate to message your division admin in Discord or Steam, found on the league table. The help channel in
Discord is also a very good option.
