The pre-season schedule has been posted for Western Invite and North American divisions. Please log into your Team Leader account and communicate with your opponent as soon as possible to determine a time to play. If a time cannot be agreed upon then the default time of Sunday at 7pm will be enforced. Pre-Season week is a Best of 2 series. Please familiarize yourself with our rules prior to playing the weeks match. This match does not count toward your overall W/L rate for the season. It is simply there to help you adjust to UGC standards.

Unfortunately only Western Invite and North America were scheduled for the pre-season matchup because other divisions lacked the teams to form a competition. Prior to the week one schedule being posted all regions will be re-assessed and if the numbers permit we will add them to the season, but as of right now UGC is forced to limit Season 5 to only North America and Western Invite. We hope to remedy this as soon as possible and apologize profusely for the inconvenience to teams that are signed up and ready to go. Unfortunately, without enough teams to field a division our hands are tied.

If you are a team looking to play in this season please make sure you have all your rostered members sign into their player accounts and fill out our MMR form. This form is unverified and runs off the honor system. Any player found to be abusing our trust in you this season will be penalized. Please be responsible. 

Also, make sure you accept your Season 5 team invite and ready up if you are an existing team wishing to play in this season! 

If you have any questions please e-mail them to dota2 @ ugcleague . com

Thank you.
