Tournament organizers are not obliged to delay any game from starting on schedule to
accommodate late players. If a round has started before a participating team’s arrival, the late

This list will be updated frequently and Teams are required to check the list 6 hours before
their scheduled games. A list of legal and non-legal bugs will be provided to the Teams.
In the event whereby a player were to encounter a bug, a remake will only be offered when all of the
following conditions are met:

●​ The bug is game-breaking and causes a player (or multiple players) to be unable to play
the game in a normal manner. A non-exhaustive list of game-breaking bugs includes:
○​ Being clipped through the floor and executed
○​ Being stuck on objects (windows, launchers, etc.)
○​ Being eliminated by fall damage after unexpected behavior from driving vehicles
○​ In-game Mic is not functioning at the start of the game
○​ Death on landing / not in the plane, etc.
●​ The bug occurred within 5 minutes of the match.
●​ A referee is promptly notified of the bug when it occurs.
●​ The bug occurs when no other players in the match have been killed.

19
 ●​ The bug is not triggered with malicious intent by the player.

Any remake will be offered only at the sole discretion of the Garena officials and referees.
Teams who deliberately abused the bugs mentioned, new bugs, or non-legal bugs may be
immediately disqualified, have up to half of their monetary winnings forfeited, or both of the above.
If any participating Team knows of a bug that is not on the list, they are required to inform the
tournament organisers and are not allowed to use it.
If any participating Team discovers a new bug in the game during the tournament games, they are not
allowed to use this bug again, repeated use will result in disqualification.

3.13.​ Prohibited Bugs

Below is the list of prohibited bugs. Deliberately use of such bugs will result in disciplinary action.
●​ Spawning a gloo wall at a place where you do not have a direct line of sight. For
example, throwing off a gloo wall to the ceiling of a lower level in a building which in turn
impacts the ground on the upper level of the same building. Gloo wall will push the player
to get trapped in the building model, unable to move or instant death. The effect persists
even after gloo wall expires​
* This prohibition does not include trapping a player using gloo wall, so long as there is a
direct line of sight to the gloo wall placement.
●​ Using a waterbody to mask their presence using prone or squat positions allows them to
fire without exposing themselves. Other players will be unable to identify their location or
see the gunfire.​
* Intended game mechanics should expose the character’s body when they are in a
waterbody (swimming above or wakeboarding). Players are also unable to fire their
weapons.
●​ Abusing Falco's pet skill and switching tabs to glide further
●​ Deliberately landing on spots on the map that allow you to be unobservable and
gloounforgettable by other players or “pass-through map”
○​ * No rematch will be given if the player “passes through” the map and gets
eliminated by the system.
○​ * If determined to be unintentional, the player will restart the game and check if
the issue is resolved. If it’s not, he/she will have to exit the game. If no other
players are eliminated, a remake can be considered.
●​ Abusing “Invisible floor” at various platforms to perform actions including but not limited to
climbing and shooting to gain an advantage.
●​ Abusing of launcher/portable launcher to disrupt the projectile motion of the player flying,
allowing players to land immediately during the motion.
●​ Abusing RGS50 bug where it can be launched from behind the gloo wall.

20
 ●​ Entering terrains through exploitations that are otherwise out-of-bounds to players
(terrains such as rocks, trees, and buildings) can result in players becoming
unobservable and unforgettable. This includes, but is not limited to, achieving this with
Santino’s skill.
●​ Abusing the emote wheel to skip reloading weapons and/or shoot faster than intended by
the game.
Any other harmful bug that is not mentioned here in this rule book will be investigated by Garena officials
before any decisions are made.

3.14.​ Reporting Procedures
