How it works

  1. Sign in with Steam. No extra account — your Steam persona and avatar are your identity here.
  2. Register for an open tournament. Free, one click. You can invite friends by link, email, or straight from your Steam friends list.
  3. Play your matches in their scheduled windows. Every match is a time window. When both players hit Ready, the match goes LIVE and you launch Herd from the match card.
  4. Climb the bracket. Top players qualify from their group into single-elimination playoffs, up to the final — plus a small final for 3rd place.
  5. Win Steam trophies. The top 3 earn a trophy visible on Steam.

📅 Scheduled match windows

Every match has a clear play-by window (shown in UTC), so players across time zones know exactly when to show up.

⚡ Ready-up & launch

FaceIt-style readiness: both players ready up, the match goes LIVE, and Herd launches straight from Steam.
