Highlander Admin Changes

You'll still get the classic four Highlander Administrators you ended 2024 with in Kai, woozy, redja and Sperkle. However, we'll also be joined by our newest Trial Admin Pulse so be nice!


Changes affecting the Autumn '25 Highlander season can be found here once they are live.


Reminders

  • During Highlander Autumn '25, we plan to conduct random demo checks to ensure players are recording POV demos. Please ensure that you are recording all scrims and officials to avoid punishment. You can do this via the in-game demo system following our guide which you can find here.
    • The punishments for not recording demos have been changed - the first offence will now incur a warning, but a repeat offence at any time in the future will incur severe penalties. This is not a 'blank slate' - all previous offenders who have been caught not recording will not get another warning.
  • If you are unsure if something is considered a game exploit, contact a League Administrator for clarification. Ignorance is not an excuse.
