Note that a difference of 2 ranks or higher will automatically determine an EGD rank reset.
- Players who do not have GoR will enter the competition with a rank approved by the main referee based on the recommendation of a stronger player that knows the person.
- You can check out the rank reset requests at the end of the registration page .
