In the case of a player disconnect, the game will be paused and the allocated pause time will be used. If the player does not return within the 10-minute pause and the team is unable to get a substitute in the server, the team that is a player down must either play the match out as 4 or forfeit.

4.2.3. Substitutions
In the case of a medical emergency and/or technical issue that prevents a player from rejoining the game, a player may be changed mid-game, provided the opposing team is informed in advance. The new player must be eligible to play, on the roster, and join within 5 minutes.
4.2.4. Admin Attention
If an issue occurs mid-game where an admin is required, players are advised to invoke a technical pause and join the ‘Support Waiting Room’ channel in the official ESW discord. Screenshots or video recordings should be taken of incidents that occur that you may wish to report or dispute.
