This will be done until 5 Heroes to be used and 3 Heroes to be banned are chosen by each team. Toss coin determines which team chooses first.
2. One (1) hour time limit. After the time limit if the team acquires Mega Creeps then they will be declared as the winner. After the allotted time there is still not a winning team, then the team with the highest number of towers remaining at this stage will be declared the winner. If there is a tie on tower kills, then the team with the highest number of kills will be declared the winner. If there is still a tie at this point, then there will be Team Face-off Phase.
