2.1 Game Rules

• Patch: All Games will be played on the current patch available on the Live Service.

  • Category: Melee
  • Mode: 1v1
  • Game Speed: Faster
• Map Bans: Please follow the format below for picking the maps for the game.
  • “Home” team bans a map first.
  • “Away team bans two maps.
  • “Home” team bans one map.
  • “Home” team will then select a map to be played game 1.
  • “Away” team will then select a map to be played game 2.
  • The remaining map will be used for the if-necessary game 3.
• Map Pool: These will be the maps used for competition. We will continue to keep an eye on any Blizzard Seasonal Updates to keep the map pool up to date as well, so please be sure to keep an eye out for any communication around when a seasonal update happens.
  • Altitude LE

  • NeoHumanity LE
  • Dragon Scales LE

• Draws: Draws are determined automatically by the game client. If a game results in a draw and the game determines the winner of the full match set, restart the game. If the game does not determine the winner of the full match set, continue to play the next game. If another game results in a draw, then replay the game to determine the match winner.
  • A player may propose a draw without needing to wait for the game client, but would need the approval of the other player to consider the game a draw. If both players come to an agreement, please make sure to keep record of this in the Vanta platform chat and be able to provide screenshots if necessary.

3.1 Restrictions

  • No third party mods are allowed for official Vanta competition.
  • If an opponent uses a mod, please report to support@vanta.gg so that a forfeit loss will be awarded to the team that used the banned character.
