Setup
One launcher, one sign-in, done once. About ten minutes, and after that every bracket is a click. The launcher is the same program for every game the league runs.
Guides
1 of 6 games is running, and its guide is the launcher page: install it once and it finds and starts the right build. The rest open the day enough people say they want them.

What setup actually involves
- The launcher
- The OPLeague Desktop Launcher signs you in, joins you to the league network, finds your game, and reports every match with the replay attached. It is the one thing to install, and it comes with the subscription.
- The right build
- Some games run on one specific version, and it is usually the old one. The launcher knows which build a match needs and starts that one; you only have to own the game.
- One approval
- A new machine is approved on our side before it can join, usually within minutes. The launcher asks for it; you do not send anything. It happens once, not every bracket.
Stuck on any of it?
Setup is the only hard part of this and nobody should lose an evening to it. Say where you got stuck and which game, and someone will walk you through it.
