The new GST rules?

meganey98 · 08-22-2014

Hello, this is me Megan. The Summer GST is upcoming very soon. I just have few questions regarding the GST.
In the last GST match, admins didn't allow players to summon subs in the middle of a match. Was that a mistake or is that a new rules implied to new GST? Btw as a rumor I heard some admins didn't know how to summon a sub. So yeah, train them. Also, does the new spar timeout tie rules count on the GST?
And good luck to everyone who enters this GST.

I can't vouch for the subs thing, although I thought they were allowed to be put in, and it's in my opinion (though not fully informed) that they just didn't know how. I can say that the new timeout rules DO apply in guild spar and in the GST, they actually took effect before the last one.

I thought the same thing. Cores are allowed to switch with subs before.
and I am not a big fan of the new timeout rules, but now it comes down to a good strategy in GS.

lol... there were more problems with the hosts than just summoning subs

Well for one, they screwed up at the beginning and all the guilds who had participated (even the ones who won) were sent to the "unstuck me" point, instead of the waiting room. They eventually fixed this and those that were incorrectly sent to unstuck me were warped to the waiting room. But some players had already logged off and stuff. Anyway, most of my team missed out on the waiting room GST prize because of this.

When is that 30-day GST rule going to come around?

Spoiler

30-days is absurd. A week at most, I would think.

dont matter what the rules are, if you get stuck with a ****** hoster and he screws your team over theres nothing you can do about it(besides posting it in the thread that gets created right after the gst or complaining about it in your status).

I think GSTs is usually on the last Saturday of GST Month, and yeah I would like to know if you can mix between sub and cores during each match so everyone gets to participate. I mean making a sub participate just for them to watch from the sidelines kinda sucks.

Also I have 2 questions of my own:

1) What is the rule of lag, is there a limit or did they get rid of dqing for lag due to the server lag on GST Day? I heard it got removed and you only get dq'd if you lag out.

2) How are brackets for GST sorted, and can we see the brackets a day before GST or quite a few hours before GST Starts.

1) I know last gst there was at least 1 dq , it was a very extreme lag / delay case tho where the player would sill e in the ring randomly spamming sword for nearly a min even after the match had ended

2) brackets are only shown 30ish mins before gst starts ... I wouldn't see the point of showing them earlier ?
