Quick Rule Overview

GOTV

GOTV IPs for the open qualifier matches will be provided by Challengermode on each individual game lobby page. You can find the game lobbies once the tournament has started on the bracket page.

We are using an implementation of GOTV+ to make these IPs publicly available for anyone who wants to cast these matches. Please make sure to also follow BLAST.tv Major community content guidelines.
