syrusKittehBig News: Taking RGL Philly LAN International? ✈️This all sounds very exciting and I hope things work out the best, but how would the international aspect work? Aren't these LANs typically meant for RGL playoffs, i.e the top 4 teams of invite (not including the Open tournament)? Won't this secret international team be something big and recognisable, or some smaller team looking to have fun? Perhaps it's too early to speculate like this but I am quite curious :D
We’ve had some very exciting developments behind the scenes. Recently, an international team reached out expressing interest in competing at RGL LAN (July 24–26, 2026).
This has us thinking: Is it time to pivot this into a truly global event?
To make an international bracket sustainable and competitive, we are looking for a minimum of two teams from outside North America to commit. If we can hit that threshold, we are ready to level up the scale of this tournament.
This would've been a separate event then the season playoffs with seeding being done at the event. The team I will refrain from name until we know that we have additional teams that are willing to join and we make an official announcement!
To others points the teams that are paid up would still play in an open bracket tournament that would not effect them in any way!
