Updates for Season 5
1.) Maplist changes: Different from previous seasons, each week teams will have 3 maps to pick from to play each week. Home Team picks the first map. Away Team picks the second map. If either map ends in a draw, a single overtime round on Nepal will be played to decide who won the map. Example Week 1: Home team chooses Numbani and wins the map, they receive 1 Match point. Away team chooses King's Row and the map ties with both teams unable to capture the first CP. Teams proceed to Nepal to break the tie on King's Row and Home team wins earning another match point. Home team wins the match 2-0.
2.) New NA Iron division and removal of NA Silver: This season we will be merging the NA Silver division into the NA Gold division and adding a new Iron division below Steel for sub 2700 and below SR players. 
3.) Doomfist: Allowed
4.) Recruiting: LFT posts older than 30 days have been pruned from the Recruiting Page.
5.) Playoffs: Now only 1 match per week (like regular season)
6.) Prizes: NA Gold Prize Pool:
NA Gold Prize Pot: (BattleNet balance)
- 1st place: 6 mains + 2 backups x $40 = $320
- 2nd place: 6 mains + 2 backups x $20 = $160
