Game Play:
Backdooring
Backdooring is allowed. However, instances of teleport abuse are not allowed. You cannot use any form of teleport (furion skill, ignis fatuus, or Boots of Travel) to enter an enemy base UNLESS your creeps are already present in the base. So, for example, teleporting with Boots of Travel onto an ignis fatuus that runs in to backdoor is illegal. Another example is having your teammates backdoor and enters an enemy base and then teleport to your teammates as Furion. This is illegal because your creep wave is not present. Some of these measures have since been restricted in recent map versions in support of this rule.

Map Version: 6.48b or latest stable version.



May i ask which map version will be use ????

6.48b or 6.52c


my opinion , 6.52c should ne better since smm also using tat map

Yea..... we will consider of it. Coz, "officially" 6.48b still the stable version, but it seems like more n more tournament are using 6.52c

wah lao... so near d still not yet confirm... pls la... already so near still not yet confirm... how if on the 20th or 21th june the stable map change to 6.52c?? if that time how?? ppl all train for 48b and then suddenly change then how? make a confirmation la...

AGREE with TpGkia

52 or 48 ?????? and 6 bans or 8 bans???????

After a long discussion with my committees, we have decided to stick back to version 6.48b

This is because our Rules and Regulations are announced long before the 6.52c was out, and a lot of invitations were sent out, so it will be very hard for us to switch to 6.52c in all of a sudden.

Sorry for all the inconvenience caused.

6.48b sien le .............

i think 6.52 c ...... y using b 6.48b

ya....
