When you can't always pick the same thing every game

Z.E.R.O.

In ZeroSpace Excluded Repeat Open Tournaments, you may not play the same combination of Faction + Merc in a game series.

ZeroSpace.gg and ArrivalOfTheBirds Presents:

ZeroSpace Excluded Repeat Open #2.

On the final day of the final Alpha period before Beta playtests start, we're repeating our successful ZERO tournament format from the Spring alpha!

Gameplay Rules:

All units and races are allowed by default. Play anything you want however:

BOTH PLAYERS GET 1 MERC FACTION VETO to block the other player from choosing that merc faction for the entire match. Do you hate Torq and Mondar? Block Valkaru. You think badgers OP? block marran Arandi flyers bug you too much? Block Arandi

"Excluded Repeat" faction + merc combinations in a single match.

Example invalid combination:

  • Game 1: Legion + Valkaru
  • Game 2: Legion + Marran
  • Game 3: Legion + Valkaru

Example valid combination:

  • Game 1: Legion + Valkaru
  • Game 2: Legion + Arandi
  • Game 3: Grell + Arandi

The first person to message their scheduled opponent before the match (after the previous match) is player 1 (either in the alpha-lfg channel, or via dm)

  1. Player 1 picks their merc veto
  2. Player 2 picks their merc veto
  3. Player 1 hosts first game, Player 2 picks first map
  4. Player 2 hosts second game, Player 1 picks second map
  5. Player 1 hosts third game, Player 2 picks third map
  6. etc

If you can't both settle on a faction + merc for a game (you both keep swapping to counter pick) then the host picks first and is locked in to that choice.

Best of 5 finals is the same rules with two extra games (if needed)
