The HGC will also be introducing some rule changes for Phase 2 of 2018 as follows:
- Rules around rest breaks between matches have been added (to keep downtime between games to a minimum).
- There will no longer be seeding matches included in the HGC Playoffs (such as the one that took place recently between Tempest and Ballistix).
- The end-of-year roster release date has been moved to one week after the HGC Finals.
