FAQ



What about people from other schools?

In the event that you are unable to find 5 people from your school to join, please contact us at dota2.hsstarleague@gmail.com to state your case and request an exception.



What if I can’t make a match day?

If your team wants to play a match on a different day, both teams must agree upon a time, and the notify an administrator. Administrators have the final say on all reschedules.



I’m not sure I can commit to HSL.

Your team can have more than 5 players. Therefore, you can have many back up players. This allows for greater flexibility with your schedules as students and other extracurricular obligations.



Are there going to be prizes?

Unfortunately not, but we will almost certainly have prizes for Season 1, which is set to begin in Fall 2013.



Is EU eligible?

Unfortunately at this time, HSL is a purely NA organization, however EU may be eligible in future events.



Multiple teams from a school?

For this summer tournament we will only allow one team per school. We are however aiming to allow multiple teams per school for the fall season.



How do the schools determine their coordinator?

It is the responsibility of the DotA 2 community at your school to designate a coordinator.
