🎮Rules Esports

Esport refers to the organized, competitive playing of video games, solo or in teams, in tournaments and leagues. Disciplines are highly varied (shooters, MOBAs, fighting games, strategy games, sports games), each with its own internal rules. Matches are frequently played as a series, in a BO3 (best of 3) or BO5 (best of 5) format.

Beat the opponent by achieving each game's own objective (destroy the enemy base, win the rounds, score the most points). Across a series, the goal is to win the required number of games before the opponent.

• •A match is usually a series: BO1 (one game), BO3 (first to 2 games won) or BO5 (first to 3).
• •Each game has its own internal rules: read the rules of the specific title (map, rounds, objective).
• •Format, map and side are set before the match (draw, pick/ban or tournament rules).
• •Cheating (aimbot, wallhack, scripts) is strictly forbidden and penalized.
• •Respect opponents, referees and the tournament's allowed settings.
• •Technical and tactical pauses are regulated and limited by the rules.

Internal scoring depends on the game (kills, rounds, towers destroyed, points). At the match level, you count the games (maps) each side wins. In BO3, the first to 2 games wins; in BO5, the first to 3. The series score is written, for example, 2-1 or 3-0.

The format varies by tournament: BO1, BO3 or BO5. BO3 is common in group stages and playoffs; BO5 is reserved for finals and grand finals. The length of a single game depends entirely on the title (from a few minutes to over 45 minutes).

A match is won by reaching the number of games required by the format before the opponent (2 in BO3, 3 in BO5). In BO1, a single game decides the winner.
