Sekiro Tournament: Get Involved

If you've been following the GGLeague tournaments, you know that our first big Sekiro tournament is just a few weeks away on April 6. It's going to be huge! Many viewers have reached out about how to get involved, either on logistics for the tournament or entering as a tournament runner.

Here's an overview of how you can get involved:

Logistics Team

Due to the size and complexity of this tournament, we need about a dozen members on our logistics team. This is a simple but VERY important job to ensure the success of the tournaments. We need the following the logistics or "Tech Team" members:

Scoring Specialists---we need you to carefully watch a group of 2-4 runners to look for any hits taken or rule infractions. You then need to communicate and coordinate with other scoring specialists to relay this information to the tournament casters/commentators via discord DMs.

This is a very important job and requires knowledge of the Sekiro no damage run. You don't need to be a runner, but you need to have a good understanding of the run's rules and flow of the game. We need a minimum of 10 scoring specialists for each tournament, including on April 6.

Communication Specialists---we need logistics specialists to communicate messages to tournament runners and commentators, moderate chat, and provide other support.

No specific game knowledge is required, although it's helpful. This is best for people with good communication skills!

Artists/Video Editors/Programmers/etc.

In addition to tournament logistics, we always need artists/video editors/programmers/etc. for specific projects. If you want to be involved with any of this, please reach out to me (contact info below).

Tournament Runners

We expect to have a large number of runners from Team Hitless, however there is plenty of space for new blood. In fact, we're hoping to see a TON of new faces in these tournaments. Here are the requirements if you want to be a tournament runner:

• Reliable and consistent performance on the Sekiro no damage run. Your goal prior to the first tournament should be at least a 10 hit PB on the run and a competitive time as well since matches will be scored based on in-game completion time, with a penalty for damage taken. 
• Must be a Twitch streamer with a reliable internet connection and good quality stream. Stream quality must be at least 720p/30 fps and 2,000+ bitrate. You cannot participate if you cannot stream during the tournament.
• You must agree to our code of conduct for the tournaments (more information to come), which includes your permission for us to restream your tournament run and you must be respectful (at all times) to other runners, commentators, and casters. You also must agree to using ethical behavior when it comes to self-reporting on match performance.
• There may be a small (~$10) entry fee to compete. Members of Team Hitless are exempt from this requirement. The purpose of the fee is not to generate revenue but to ensure that those entering are serious about running and will be reliable when it comes to tournament day.
• Tournament runners who cancel last minute, or habitually sign up and cancel, will not be allowed in future events. Tournament schedules are always posted in advance and schedule changes are rare. Clear your calendar ahead of time and make sure you have time to run and practice before asking to join.
