Click "Forgot password?" on the sign-in page and follow the link sent to your email. Signed up with Google or Discord instead of an email/password? Just keep signing in the same way, there's no separate ECS password to reset.

A banner prompts you to link Discord automatically after you sign in, if it isn't connected yet. You can also connect it any time from your Settings page. Linking confirms your identity for team registration and roster verification.

Check the Messages icon in your account menu. Team invites, manager communications, and platform notices all land there. Make sure you're signed in on the device you're expecting them on.

Prize details (amount and payout method) are listed on each event's page. Once results are finalized, ECS staff coordinate payout directly with the winning team's manager or the solo winner. If you haven't heard anything within a reasonable time after the event ends, reach out via Contact or Discord.

Open a ticket or message staff directly in the ECS Discord server with details and any evidence, like screenshots or clips. Don't escalate an argument yourself; report it and let staff review. Confirmed violations can lead to warnings, timeouts, or bans depending on severity. Confirmed sanctions are published to the public Ban Log at ecsleague.com/ban-log, where anyone can search a UID or in-game name to check an account's standing.

Each Elite Scrims game page has a "Rules" tab with the current ruleset. League division rules and event-specific rules are listed on their respective pages.

Use the Ban Log at ecsleague.com/ban-log. Search an in-game UID, an in-game name, a team name, or a case number. If a record exists you will see the offense, whether the ban is still active, how much of the sentence is left, and any appeal outcome. If nothing comes back, there is no sanction on record for that account. The shortcut icon in the top bar of the site opens the same page.

"Ban Active" means the sanction is still in force right now. "Sentence Served" means the full length was completed and the account is back in good standing. "Lifted on Appeal" or "Reduced on Appeal" means an appeal was upheld and the sanction was cut short. "Overturned" means the ruling was found to be wrong and no longer stands against the person. "Revoked" means ECS withdrew the sanction itself.

It depends on the offense. Sanctions range from a formal warning with no playing restriction, through fixed terms of 7 days up to a year, to permanent bans for the most serious cases like match fixing or repeat cheating. Every record shows the exact length that was handed down and how much of it has been served. A fixed-length ban ends by itself on its end date; you do not need to apply to be reinstated.

Yes. Contact the ECS team through the contact page with your case number (shown on every record as ECS-FP-0000), your in-game UID, and anything that supports your case. The Fair Play team reviews every appeal and the outcome is published back onto the same record. Appeals can result in the sanction being upheld, reduced, lifted early, or overturned entirely.

No, and that is deliberate. The record stays up and is updated to show what actually happened, for example "served 2 months of a 3 month ban before it was lifted on appeal". If a ruling was found to be wrong outright it is marked Overturned. Leaving the outcome visible is fairer than the entry quietly disappearing, because anyone who saw the original sanction also sees that it was resolved in your favour.

Report it through the contact page with the old name, the new name, and the in-game UID if you have it. Ban records are filed against UIDs and known aliases, so when a banned account resurfaces under a new tag the Fair Play team adds that alias to the existing record. Searching either name in the Ban Log will then return the same case.
