If players cannot connect to each other, in either the tournament lobby or elsewhere, the following rules apply:

The player with the least amount of games lost automatically moves forward. In case of a tie, the following rule comes into play:

Both players are sent to the losers bracket if they cannot connect to each other and are tied in least amount of games lost.

Dropped connections will be handled in the following manner:

The player determined to have dropped will be given a loss for that game. Players will retry to connect in tournament lobby if possible, privately if unable to any other way.

If the players cannot connect, the player with connection issues will forfeit the match.

If cause or fault for connection issues cannot be determined, the player with the least amount of losses will advance. In the event of a tie, the players will either come to a mutual agreement, or winner will be determined randomly by the tournament organizer's choice per situation.
