If battlegrounds permit consumables, I would suggest you permit them too. Just saying if we get to know if they are allowed or not, which I'm 99% sure they will.

I will be streaming every tourny twitch.tv/arbacus
also any zerg will very very very easily be outmatched by non participants and standby teams and i mean any zerg including server invasions BC represent!

The effect of Pandas on a zerg has been documented with video evidence.

Might change the rules of consumables, I'll have a more final post of the rules when signups start, for now I just want to spread awareness of the tournament

I would say no consumables. Just makes things easier. If team A has every buff potion/score/etc. available, and team B hasn't had time to farm up everything, makes things incredibly unbalanced in that aspect (yes gear has this effect as well, but the no consumables allows you to limit more of the "balancing" factors, not all)

This just adds more balance to it, obviously you can't be 100% balanced but yeah.

To couple off of what Iashu is saying, I find there to be a difference between gear and consumables when it comes to balancing. You generally won't be sitting there swapping stats on your armor, attempting to get optimum setups for any given team you're facing. You can do that with Charms. Additionally, introducing consumables centers the fight more around their usage than the usage of abilities.

Do 10v10.

So much better.

Good idea for Luci to host 10v10 tournaments.
