G’day Forts fans!

After the 4v4 chaos of Tournament XVII we return to good old fashioned 1v1 action for Tournament XVIII. So much has changed since our last one-on-one event including the giant commander update and a new addition to the ranked map pool. Will we also see a new champion emerge?

This tournament will also feature an added twist, commander bans! At the start of each match both competitors will be asked to select the commander they would like to ban. The two banned commanders may not be chosen by either player for that game on penalty of immediate disqualification. Show off your versatility or collapse into a smoldering pile of rubble!

• Join the Official FORTS Discord
  
• Your name on Discord and Steam must match
