Hosting Rules:
Teams with seeding closer to zero will host the majority of the maps and will host 2nd. The team with the seed farther from zero with host 1st and host 1 map in a Bo3, 2 in a Bo5, and 3 in a Bo5
Both teams must agree on a suitable host through the use of a lag test on map not on the map list.
If a suitable host cannot be found contact a CSN representative
Any match that has been started, may only be restarted in the following situations;
Both teams agree to restart the match.
A Cyber Sports Network Staff member instructs the teams to replay the map
The internet connection for players on both teams is unplayable.
A map/match that has been completed, regardless of the settings or maps, will be considered a finished match/map and results will be recorded as such.
Matches may only be disputed if a team has concrete evidence of a rules violation not included in the settings or maps. Teams may file a dispute if they believe their opponent to be using players that are not on their roster, but are using the gamertag of another player. Remember, evidence must be presented.
The use of any in-game glitch by either team may result in a forfeit by the team using it.
A dispute of a match in which a 'glitch' has been suspected of being used will only be taken seriously if there is concrete and visual proof of the use of the glitch.

I'v talked to a couple people, about unbanning them. Hopefully they will, I don't see if it isn't an EU tourney why they are banned.
we feel that this rule is necessary to make it a more even playing field:
1. The rule set is more standard to EU teams and there are more of them in this cup than NA
2. This is the Ruleset CSN has officially adopted and we'll stick with it and evolve
Not saying its the perfect ruleset but at this time we will continue to use it and look into changes

It's something already under discussion, we will finalise all maps closer to the date.
