(6.2) Spectating

• Starting in Season 9 each team is permitted to invite no more than 2 spectators to a match.
  • Spectators MUST be designated as Team 1 or Team 2 upon invite. This will limit the specs you invite to only be able to watch your team.
  • Please keep in mind that if you switch sides between maps you will need to move the spectators accordingly.
  • Spectators are permitted to record or stream the match (on a 90 second delay).
• General spectators (that can watch both teams) are not allowed in the match for any reason.
• Inviting a general spectator to your game will result in your team losing the match.
• UGC Admins and approved casters are exempt from this rule.
