Changes from Season 1

Teams in Silver Series are not locked. A team will receive 12 tournament accounts and must manage them internally. If you wish to change the gameaccount to another ESL player, you must open a ticket.
Only 2 players can be changed per season.
If a player misuses a tournament account, it will be deactivated. The team cannot request an additional account for another player

These rules are aimed at making the process of adding/removing players easier. It will also give more responsability to teams and team captains regarding account management.
