SIEGE CUP BETA - FAQ
Can my team participate on consoles during the Beta phase?
No, the Siege Cup Beta is available only on PC. Having a smaller pool of players will allow us to test all technical aspects of the tournament, helping to ensure a smooth full launch in the near future. Console players have received Competitive Coins as a compensation. The official release of the Siege Cup will be for all players, following the current cross-play configuration.
When will the Siege Cup see a full release?
We are aiming for Y9S4.
Is the Siege Cup Beta restricted to certain region(s)?
For the first tournament (Beta), we aimed for a maximum of around 25 000 players in each region of North America and Western Europe; the following invite waves will have their own parameters, and we will share details as they become available.
Can any player from a team register their team to the Siege Cup Beta?
Yes, however, the Squad leaders must be accepted into the Siege Cup Beta. Your team will not be able to participate if it is not your Squad Leader who had initially registered and subsequently selected. To identify your Squad Leader in-game, go to your profile at the top of the main menu. If you are Squad Leader and need to make another person Squad Leader, choose a squad member after selecting your profile, and then select "Promote to Leader".

Another player may be added into the squad if the team is not yet registered, so long as they meet the qualifications to participate. A check is performed in game.
