G’day Forts fans!

We’re excited to announce Tournament XIX will be held on June 5th, 2021 at 2pm CEST. This should be a much friendlier start time for our European friends. Everyone is still welcome to participate regardless of region of course. But you may find it somewhat early or late depending on your timezone. Never fear, future events will be held with other regions in mind too.

This event will be 2v2 co-op with a progressive map selection. Each round the map pool will expand to include larger and larger battlegrounds. In order to advance through the early rounds our competitors will need to demonstrate how well they can work together while sharing a single base. But to make the finals, their ability to each handle multiple bases will also be put to the test. Micro your way into macro!

• Join the Official FORTS Discord
  
• Your name on Discord and Steam must match
  
• Inappropriate competitor or team names or logos will not be accepted
  
• Send a direct message on Discord to Romerolagus#9918 with your team name, roster, and team logo
