As for the tournament rules, the matches will solely be squad based consisting of four players in the FPP mode on the Erangel as well as the Miramar Map. Each squad will have four members with one stand-in player, and more importantly, at least 3 players in a squad must be from the same team. Moreover, professional players are not allowed to participate in the tournament, so don’t expect to enter a battle against the likes of Shroud and Dr. Disrespect.
As for the scoring system, teams will earn base points for their final ranking in a battle royale and additional points for the total number of kills. The Qualifier rounds for the OMEN by HP – Challenger Series Tournament will start on September 14th, that will see up to 80 amateur teams from each country battling it out for a spot at the Grand Finals in Thailand.
