How Will The Ironman Work?[/b][/size][/color] [img="/images/news/line-golden.png"] The Ironman will begin on the [color=#FEE66F][b]6th of February[/b][/color] and will end on the [color=#FEE66F][b]5th of March[/b][/color]. Participants will have to [color=#FEE66F][b]win 1 match every weekday[/b][/color] (Monday - Friday), meaning [color=#FEE66F][b]a total of 20 matches[/b][/color]. The weekends (Saturday - Sunday) can be used to [color=#FEE66F][b]recover up to 2 matches[/b][/color] that were missed during their corresponding week. The eligible game modes are Summoner's Rift (Blind, Draft, Ranked Solo/Duo and Flex, Clash) and ARAM. Only matchmaking games against players will count, meaning no bots or customs. Every week will have a different objective that participants must fulfill: [list] [*] [color=#FEE66F][b]Week 1 (6th - 12th Feb)[/b][/color] - Win as a different Ionian champion every day ([url=https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Ionia#Champions_of_Ionia][b]list[/b][/url]) [*] [color=#FEE66F][b]Week 2 (13th - 19th Feb)[/b][/color] - Win as a different champion with a stun every day and get at least 5 kills [u]or[/u] 10 assists in every match ([url=https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Stun_champion][b]list[/b][/url]) [*] [color=#FEE66F][b]Week 3 (20th - 26th Feb)[/b][/color] - Win as a different melee champion every day without getting killed more than 2 times ([url=https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Melee_champion][b]list[/b][/url]) [*] [color=#FEE66F][b]Week 4 (27th Feb - 5th March)[/b][/color] - Win as a different champion every day and have a KDA of 4.0+ in every match [/list] [center][img]/images/news/ironman-2023-calendar.png[/img][/center] [/td][/tr][/table] [table border="4px solid #152034" bgcolor="#0a1220"][tr][td padding="5px 15px 15px 15px"] [anchor=the-contest][color=#FECE89][size=6][b]Sounds Good! How Will The Matches Be Tracked?[/b][/size][/color] [img="/images/news/line-golden.png"] Participants will have to track the matches on their own. We will recommend different methods to do so, but everyone is free to track their matches in their own way, as long as it's easy for us to verify the matches every week. Suggested methods of tracking your matches: [list] [*] Copy and fill in our [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/129yrnR4yVeymaPwoNj44ZECqLQ9PPu3In5l-kWoK7a8/edit?usp=sharing]Google Spreadsheets template[/url] (requires a Google account) [br] [list] [*] [color=#808080][i]For this method, make sure to click on Share and select anyone with the link can view![/i][/color] [/list] [*] Copy and fill in our [url=https://pastebin.com/MT3qa23K]forum BBCode template[/url] [/list] No matter what method you choose, you must [color=#FEE66F][b]reply to this thread[/b][/color] with a link (in case of using Google Spreadsheets or other external websites) or with the matches directly (in case of using the BBCode template or forum tracking). It's important to keep [color=#FEE66F][b]track of your matches correctly[/b][/color] and make sure that we can easily verify every match with their corresponding day. We recommend filling in the screenshot links as soon as the match is over to easily keep track and make sure that no day is missed. The matches will be [color=#FEE66F][b]checked every two weekdays by the admins[/b][/color] to make sure there are no mistakes and to inform participants if any changes must be made. To make both our lives and your experience better, please make sure that the 5 weekly matches will be ready to be verified every Monday, Wednesday and Friday! Everyone's progress will be publicly tracked by the admins in [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sc8BOEgIqdzy470mZCYLpq9jcAl_mEVjY3UKtba1CQQ/edit?usp=sharing]this spreadsheet[/url]. In case any mistakes are made by the participants, a comment will be added to their row in the spreadsheet and they'll also be contacted via Discord. ❓❗ Remember ❗❓ Admins will always be available both on the forums and on [url=https://discord.gg/KxXZ8P8Tmt]Discord[/url] to help. Please don't hesitate to ask questions whenever anything is unclear, we know there's a lot to process and we want to make sure everyone has the chance to participate and enjoy the event!

We reserve the right to disqualify any participants that we suspect of smurfing. [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: Can I change accounts while participating?[/color][/b] A: No. All matches must be played on the same account. If you lose your account or it gets banned, sadly you can no longer participate. [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: Can I participate multiple times in the Ironman?[/color][/b] A: No. Everyone is allowed to have only one MOBAFire account, meaning they can only participate once. [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: Do matches where the enemies surrender count?[/color][/b] A: Yes. Good job on the stomp! Remakes won't count though. [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: Can I pick a champion that I've previously won with?[/color][/b] A: No. Every day you must win with a different champion. (20 wins, 20 different champions) [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: Can I update my matches every week or submit them all in the final day?[/color][/b] A: Yes. However, admins won't be able to check your matches as effectively and inform you of mistakes in a timely manner. [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: Can players from any region participate?[/color][/b] A: Yes. All you have to do is properly track your matches following the instructions above. [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: Can we submit matches from rotating game modes?[/color][/b] A: Unfortunately not. All the eligible game modes are listed above. [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: How is the cash prize winner picked?[/color][/b] A: When the Ironman is finally over, we will be performing a final check to make sure we've correctly verified everyone's matches. All the participants that managed to successfully play and win all the 20 matches will be added to our upcoming Hall of Fame, together with all the champions they've played throughout the Ironman. A Discord bot will be used to fairly draw a random number in order to pick the cash winner out of all the eligible Ironmen. [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: How is the prize delivered?[/color][/b] A: The cash prize will be paid by bank or PayPal. You can also claim it as RP Codes or Amazon Gift Cards. [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: Am I out of the Ironman if I miss a match without recovering it?[/color][/b] A: Yes, unfortunately. You can miss two matches during the week and recover them in the weekend. [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: Do I have to complete all the 20 days to become an Ironman?[/color][/b] A: Yes. You have to win 20 matches in 20 different days and meet all of our requirements to be eligible to win $1,000 USD and be part of our upcoming Hall of Fame. [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: Can I recover missed matches in the weekend of another week?[/color][/b] A: No. You can only recover the missed matches in that week's corresponding weekend (e.g. you can recover missed matches from week 1 only on the 11th and 12th of Feb). [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: What happens if I start the match before midnight and it ends on the next day?[/color][/b] A: The match will count for the next day (e.g. you start on the 5th at 11:50 PM and the match ends at 00:10 AM, the match counts for the 6th). [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: Can I recover the two matches in the weekend on the same day?[/color][/b] A: Yes. You can recover both matches either on Saturday or Sunday, or one match each day. It's up to you! [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: Do I really have to join the Discord server?[/color][/b] A: It's not mandatory but it makes everyone's lives easier. We can contact you quickly in case there's something wrong with your matches, and you can also ask us questions at any time and receive answers faster. [color=#FEE66F][b]Q: Does time zone matter?[/color][/b] A: No. Your League client displays your local time zone and everyone should play in their local time zone whenever they have the time and mood.
