G’day, Forts fans!
We're absolutely thrilled to announce the highly anticipated Season 2 of the Forts Pro League! After taking player and viewer feedback we're ready to bring more great competitive 2v2 Forts action. The most notable change in Season 2 will be non-exclusive commander picks, making commander mirror matches possible. Who wore it better? Now decided with cannons and lasers and rockets!
The FPL has invited back the 10 qualifying teams from last season including Hagelslag Maten, winners of the Forts Amateur League Season 1. During the group stage they will face each other in a round robin format with the top 4 qualifying for the playoffs where the final victor will be decided. Meanwhile, the teams in last positions face relegation to the FAL.
Speaking of the Forts Amateur League (pathway to the FPL) Season 2 open registration begins effective immediately at Challengermode and closes on July 8th. There is no limit to the number of teams that can join and all Forts players not currently under a multiplayer or Forts Official Discord ban are eligible to participate. Teams will be divided into round robin groups, and the winners of each group will face each other in the playoffs. The winning team from the FAL playoffs will gain immediate entry into the future FPL Season 3, taking the position of the last placed FPL team. And the Runner-up will have an opportunity in a relegation match against the next lowest FPL team.
When is it going to happen?
Signups for the FAL begin now and end on July 8th. Both leagues will be starting on July 15th. The playoffs (date to be announced) will be held once the round robin stages have concluded.
