The Inaugural 8-Pod Event

Updated: Oct 24, 2020

Starting October 19th; you can play in the inaugural 8-Pod TTS Godtear Event. What is this event? Let's start by explaining the rules!

8-Pod Each Round

  • A random scenario not yet played will be chosen by the Tournament Organizer.

  • 8 random champions will be chosen by the Tournament Organizer.

During Your Game

  • Players begin by rolling five dice. The winner of the dice roll will choose to draft first or second.

  • Players draft champions from the pod of 8, alternating picks, until each player has a team of three champions. Two champions will remain unpicked.

  • The loser of the dice roll chooses to go first or second during the game.

  • The game is played as normal.

8-Pod was invented as a way to diversify champion selection, introduce creativity by means of restriction, and to help people break out of their comfort zone.

FAQ's;

  • Is this event suitable for beginners? Yes everyone is welcome at the event.

  • Is this event only for Americans? No! Anyone is welcome. I expect most players will be US-based; but many games have been scheduled before on weekend mornings (US time) or UK Mornings (for some US night owls).

  • I'm having trouble organising my game, what do I do? Please contact the organizer via Discord ellio#9735.

  • Is there a prize? No, this is a casual event.

  • Is the organizer of this event playing in the event? Yes. The organizer will attempt to make any decisions with impartiality.

  • Where can I find the event page? Here

  • Where can I find the Godtear Discord? https://discord.gg/7qp5eKG

  • How can I find my opponent? TBD

  • How long will this event last? If we have more than 8 entrants, the event will have 3 rounds followed by a single-elimination top 4. So the event will last 3-5 weeks depending on how you do. Otherwise, the event will just be 3 rounds.

  • I want to drop, what do I do? Contact organizer, ellio#9735 and let them know before the next round is posted. If you do not alert for a drop, you may receive a round loss on Battle Ladder.

  • How do I report my draft picks? Week 1 draft pick form

How do I submit results to the event? - Please do this on Battle Ladder. You will be able to identify a winner, but not active champions. Additionally, please also fill in the appropriate form. This will be used to collect data about draft picks and results and shared with the community.
