G’day, Forts fans!
[p]Are you ready for Season 7 of the Forts Pro League? Everyone can sign up for the FPL qualifier stage and registration opens on March 14th! Register your team on Challengermode and Discord following the instructions below.[/p][p][/p][p]Compared to the previous season, we are keeping the Swiss bracket system, as it has been a great success. We are swapping Ecliptic Threat with Green Breeze in the map pool, and trying something new by adding a couple of High Seas maps in the pool (Fort Falls 2v2, Windswept). These maps will be including the High Seas DLC for players to use, but teams will also be able to ban one more map each before the first pick, if they do not wish to play High Seas during the match.Co-op on Elimination will not be featured this season.[/p][p][/p][p]As in S6, teams will be seeded in a qualifier round in a 3 round swiss bracket format.
