How do I apply to an invite-only tournament?

Invitational tournaments show an Apply button instead of Join. Applying sends your request to the host, who approves or declines it; you are notified either way, and approval puts you in the bracket like any registered player. Your profile and tournament stats are your CV here.

How applications work

1. Open the invitational tournament's page. Where an open event says Join, an invite-only one offers Apply.
2. Submit your application. The host sees it alongside your profile.
3. The host approves or declines. You get a notification with the outcome.
4. Approved? You are in: same check-in, schedule, and rules as any other participant.

Improving your odds

• Your tournament history does the talking: TP, past placements, and completed events show you are reliable, hosts fear no-shows more than weak players.
• A real profile helps: a filled-out profile with your game accounts linked reads as a serious applicant.
• Be known: hosts invite from their community, being active in their streams, squad, or group is the honest shortcut.
• Apply early: brackets have fixed sizes, and late applications meet full brackets.

Hosts can also send direct invitations, so keep notifications on: sometimes the invite finds you.
