Champion lists for each faction: Faction Rosters

versus

We will be holding some shoutcasted Featured Matches on Sunday, May 4, beginning at 12:30 p.m. Pacific (3:30 Eastern). These Featured Matches are worth twice the base point value of an ordinary Factions match. The winner of this best-of-three set will have a random chance to unlock a new Champion for their roster.

Today, Bandle City and Demacia will face off as part of the Hextech Revolution storyline. Both factions are known for their strong teamfight: Demacia favors an aggressive all-in “dogpile”, while Bandle City’s greatest strength is its overlapping AoE nuke potential. Though the two factions have strong ties forged by Poppy, the Iron Ambassador, and have helped one another out considerably during this storyline, neither fully trusts the other.

Here is the schedule, with start times and lineups. Slots listed as OPEN will be filled from the audience.

Each team has slots for Summoners of particular ranks. Rank is defined as the higher of S3 and S4 solo queue SR rank. We use end-of-season rank. Rank slots can be “underfilled”, but never exceeded: for example, you can put a Gold in a Plat or Diamond slot, but you can’t put a Diamond in a Gold slot.

Rules

These matches will be held according to standard tournament rules. I’ve summarized some key points below. In case of conflict, what’s written below supersedes the regular tournament rules.

Points. These matches have twice the base value of normal matches. Also, the team that wins the set will receive either a new Champion (30% chance) or 10 bonus points (70% chance). We do not apply any skill level adjusts for Featured Matches.

Pauses. Each team has up to 5 minutes of pause time. Once that’s exhausted, the team must play on. (However, see the Disconnects rule for a partial exception.)

Disconnects. If someone d/cs within the first five minutes of the match, or is experiencing truly crushing lag, their team may request a remake from Factions staff. We will only grant one remake per team per match. For the remake, the faction will have 5 minutes to find a replacement for their d/c’d Summoner.

Start times. Matches will begin no earlier than the posted times. If there are gaps still on the teams at the posted time, we’ll go to subs. 5 minutes after posted start time, we’ll open it up to the audience. A team with gaps on its roster at 15 minutes past start time forfeits.
