​

Invitation & Country Scope Policy

FortisArena Asia Cup S1 is planned as a 24-country Asian competition structure with one approved team slot per invited country. Country invitations, direct invites, qualifier access, replacement rules, and country-specific eligibility requirements may be announced through official FortisArena notices. Country scope rules include:

• A country invitation does not automatically approve every team from that country.
• Each invited country is expected to receive one final approved team slot unless FortisArena announces a change.
• Teams must satisfy invitation, registration, verification, roster, travel, and conduct requirements.
• FortisArena may adjust country slots, invited countries, replacement teams, or qualification paths for operational, legal, publisher, travel, visa, or integrity reasons.
• If a country, team, or player becomes unavailable, FortisArena may invite a replacement team or reallocate the slot.
• Players may be asked to prove residency, citizenship, regional eligibility, or account region where required.

​

Why Only One Team Per Country?

FortisArena Asia Cup S1 is designed as a high-level regional invitational structure focused on competitive balance, regional representation, and national-level rivalry across Asia. This format helps:

• Keep the tournament elite and easier to understand for fans
• Give each invited country meaningful representation
• Reduce slot inflation, duplicate teams, and low-commitment entries
• Create stronger regional storylines for broadcasts, sponsors, and communities
• Preserve competitive balance across the 24-country Asia Circuit

​

Official Communication Policy

Only announcements published through official FortisArena channels are considered valid for Asia Cup S1. Official channels include:

• Official FortisArena website
• Official FortisArena Discord
• Official FortisArena email
• Verified FortisArena social accounts

FortisArena is not responsible for fake announcements, unofficial messages, impersonation accounts, edited screenshots, third-party misinformation, or instructions shared outside official channels.

​

Community Priority Registration

FortisArena may open registration in phases to protect event quality and reduce slot abuse. Priority registration may include:

• Early access for FortisArena community members
• Priority slot reservation for verified teams or approved community partners
• Early review for teams with complete rosters and accurate documentation
• Public registration after community priority windows close

Priority access does not guarantee final approval. A reserved slot may be cancelled if the team fails verification, misses payment deadlines, violates conduct rules, or does not respond to admin requests.

​

Founder Pass Policy

Founder Pass holders may receive ecosystem-level advantages connected to FortisArena tournament operations. Potential Founder Pass benefits may include:

• Priority review during registration windows
• Access to limited tournament announcements, community updates, or private briefings
• Eligibility for future ecosystem benefits, subject to official terms
• Recognition inside FortisArena community programs where appropriate

​

Registration & Payment Policy

Registration is complete only when FortisArena confirms all required details, payment records, team information, and verification checks. The standard registration fee for Asia Cup S1 Free Fire is USD 20 per team. This fee is used to reduce spam, duplicate, fake, and non-serious entries during the registration and approval process. The standard registration flow may include: FortisArena may reject, delay, or reverse approval for fraud indicators, chargeback risk, duplicate teams, false identity, invalid payment proof, suspicious account history, or breach of any policy. For officially invited or approved international teams, FortisArena may manage tournament travel coordination, accommodation, venue access, LAN operations, and local event logistics according to the official invitation package or written confirmation issued to that team. Items not confirmed in writing remain the team’s responsibility.
