UM League S1 · Seeding · Group D

Group Stage matches (T&C v1.4, p. 19)

• Each series is made of 3 maps and all 3 are played, even if the provisional score is 2–0.
• Each map won is 1 group point, so a match offers 3 points in total. These are Initial Seeding points, not Season Points, and they do not carry over to the Season Ranking.
• Each day uses a fixed package of 3 maps, the same for every match of that day. The maps, sides, server and lobby host assigned and announced by UM are binding.
• Pick & Ban applies only to the Final Placement, not to the Group Stage.

Match day and time (T&C v1.4, p. 21)

• The official schedule fixes the day. The two managers agree on a time within that day and post it in the Group Manager Chat before the match. UM staff approval is not required for each time.
• No rescheduling by default. Teams cannot move a match to another day themselves; exceptions need UM staff authorisation.
• Double forfeit: if both teams cooperate but find no compatible time on the assigned day and the match is not played, both teams get 0 points and 0 maps. No winner is assigned, no fictional 3–0 or 0–3 is recorded and there are no statistics.
• If clear evidence shows that only one team is responsible for the match not being played, UM staff may assign the forfeit to that team.

Rosters (T&C v1.4, p. 5, 7 and 13)

• Each team registers 5 to 7 players. Registration closed on 4 October 2026, 23:59 CEST and the Initial Seeding roster is now locked: corrections and later changes need UM staff authorisation.
• A player may not be registered with two teams at the same time.
• A change of Official Manager or Captain must be reported to UM staff.

Results and evidence (T&C v1.4, p. 24 to 27)

• Results and evidence are submitted by the team's Official Manager (or an authorised substitute) in the Seeding Results Forum (Forum Risultati) on UM's Discord. There is one official submission per Match ID.
• UM staff sets each submission to Pending, Validated, Rejected or Forfeit. A result is official only once UM staff has validated it. Disputes and appeals go through the ticket and must quote the Match ID.
• Evidence: 3 screenshots per map, so 9 screenshots per Group Stage match, posted in the forum. They are both the result evidence and the source of the match statistics.
• For a match that is not played (forfeit, double forfeit, no-show) no gameplay screenshots are required and no map result or statistic is invented.
• Player leaving before the final scoreboard (Initial Seeding only): no penalty for the team and the real map result stays valid. If the leaver's real final statistics cannot be verified, his Player Statistics use default values: Hardpoint 0 kills / 30 deaths, Search & Destroy 0 / 9, Control 0 / 15. Valid evidence (for example a recording) replaces the defaults with the real statistics. This changes neither points, maps nor standings.

Starting tiers

The final position in the Initial Seeding sets the starting tier. These bands describe the initial placement only and are not permanent capacities:

• 1st–8th: Professional
• 9th–16th: Amateur
• 17th–32nd: Junior
• 33rd and below: Beginner

Standings on this page

The standings shown by TrueSight are derived from the results recorded here (1 point per map won) and are unofficial. UM announces its group tie-break criteria; the official standings are published by UM.
