MLG is making a few adjustments to prevent players from manipulating the pro points system.
Tournaments & Ladder Matches
-
All 1,000, 2,000 and 5,000 Series tournaments will only allow 4 players. No substitutes or extra players will be permitted on teams in those tournaments. (effective March 9th)
-
All 250 Series tournaments will be limited to 1 substitute or extra player. (effective immediately)
-
MLG has raised the “minimum matches won” requirement from two matches to five. Effective March 10th, all players enrolled on a Pro Points Ladder will be required to win at least five matches during every two week Pro Point period in order to qualify for any points their team has earned.
-
Action will be taken against players found to be manipulating the pro point system. This will include but is not limited to 30 day MLG Account suspensions.
Other notable changes
-
A new rule is being added to all Xbox 360 Ghosts tournaments. “Xbox 360 is the default console for this Tournament. However, if both Teams agree, the Xbox One console may be used for a Match.” (effective immediately)
-
Xbox One Ghosts 250 Series tournaments for both NA and EU will begin as of Friday, March 7th. All Pro Points earned on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One will be combined for the same total.
