Matches for the Open Tournament of the RGL LAN have been scheduled for all 12 teams participating.

Please note that teams can start completing map picks/bans for each group stage right now. The purpose of this is to reduce delays that come with pick/bans so teams do not have to do this in person at the venue.

Several important updates/news with the Open Tournament:

• We have reached 12 team signups for the Open Tournament with 1 team on standby. This means that there are no more remaining spots left. Note that if a spot opens up (e.g. one of the 12 teams decides to no longer go) then we will offer the spot to the next team on standby.
  
• Team placements have been done for the Open Tournament which can be viewed here. Another update post will be made once all matches are scheduled to allow teams to complete their pick/bans for each of the group stage matches before the LAN.
  
• A correction has been made to Open Group A and Open Group B - the group skill level of both is similar. This is because the two groups are merging into one in the playoffs (the top 2 from each group make playoffs). Doing this helps to ensure that we can have a 4 team playoffs for this Open group and that the top 2 from each group are comparable in skill level.

If you are still interested in attending the LAN, we are still selling spectator passes which you can purchase on the RGL site here.

The Disrupt-n-Draft Cup is a one-day cup showcasing the talent of players from this season of Sixes Invite, but there's a catch! The competition will be streamed on Twitch and viewers will have the chance to influence the matches with disruptions via stream donation. All proceeds will go towards the RGL LAN fundraiser, which helps cover costs incurred by players and production.

Join the fun by watching the draft and cup at twitch.tv/rglgg on Saturday, June 29th, 2024 @ 5:00 PM EDT!

Draft Information

Team Captains:

• b4nny (froyotech)

Hi there, that is correct. The LAN map pool for the Open Tournament should reflect the latest map pool in the RGL Sixes S15 article. This is as follows which is the Advanced map pool for the current summer season:

• cp_process_f12
  
• cp_snakewater_final1
  
• koth_bagel_rc8
  
• cp_sultry_b8a
  
• cp_gullywash_f9
  
• cp_metalworks_f5
  
• cp_sunshine
  
• cp_granary_pro_rc8
  
• koth_product_final

Will update this in the article so this is clearer. Thanks.

NOTE: The map pool for RGL Advanced for Season 15 did change at the time of this post. I have edited the list to reflect the map pool that is being run for Advanced this season.

Updates to Open Tournament LAN Structure

We managed to secure 6 more PCs for Day 2 of the Open Tournament, allowing us to have 8 teams participate in playoffs, which was our original goal. This means we have a total of 48 PCs for Day 2. Here is the updated structure that we will be using for the Open Tournament:

Day 1 - Group Stage Structure

• 3 groups (Div-1, Open Group Red, and Open Group Blue). Group stages consist of 3 groups with 4 teams each and they do the double round-robin for a total of 6 matches.
  
• Teams will complete pick/bans to determine maps played using the Invite/Advanced Season 15 Map Pool for the group stage rounds.

NOTE: Priority is to have teams complete their pick/bans online before the LAN starts to help matches start faster during Day 1. This will discussed in more detail when matches get scheduled.

Day 2 - Playoff Structure

• Div-1 has all 4 teams in their own playoff bracket (group stage round robin to determine seeding)
  
• Open Group Red has top 2 seeds enter the Open playoff bracket (#1 is the 1st seed and #2 is the 2nd seed for playoffs)
  
• Open Group Blue has top 2 seeds enter the Open playoff bracket (#1 is the 3rd seed and #2 is the 4th seed for playoffs)

NOTE: The plan is to have Open Group Red’s skill level be similar to Open Group Blue’s when placing teams.

LAN Team Registration Priority

There is a maximum of 12 teams that can register and participate in the Open LAN Tournament. Please note the following:

• We will place priority on the first 12 teams that have 6 players rostered AND have fully paid up their LAN fee.
  
• LAN fees are non-refundable so teams must commit if they are participating.

NOTE: Season 15 Invite teams are welcome to register, but must give up their spot if they do make Invite Playoffs.

Hey all -

Just to keep it short, our original plan was to run playoffs for the end of day 1 and day 2 part of the Open Tournament. However, we have to wrap up earlier on Day 2 (starting at 8 PM ET) because the venue closers earlier on Sunday as well as the fact that we have half of the number of PCs on this day (only 42 compared to 96 on day 1) made running the plan we had for playoffs more challenging than we would like. This was why our staff helping organize the LAN suggested the idea of the pickup games since we could fit it into the schedule.

We would like still to run playoffs for the open part of the tournament as it seems that it is something that players would be more interested in. At the moment, we are just trying to work on a playoff structure that would work with the schedule of the venue as well as potentially seeing if we can secure more PCs on Day 2 to help with this. Once more details are finalized, that will be announced.

Also, we can and will be doing pick/bans for the maps during the group stage rounds.

I get this is a meme, but I'm hoping to make sure that's not an issue for our lan anyway. We did release pictures for our first RGL LAN about several months after it happened.

Shoutouts to Hidi for being our photographer for that event and who will be attending our next lan to help too.

This article will be an update to communicate recent and new developments as we head closer to organizing a LAN for RGL Invite 6s Season 15 and the Open Tournament on July 20-21, 2024. The venue will offer us enough PCs to run a 12-team Open Tournament in addition to the 4-team Invite Playoffs. The venue will also have a main stage for Invite playoffs with dedicated seating for spectators for a greater viewing experience.

Philly 6s LAN Open Tournament

Team registrations for the LAN have sold out. You can still purchase a spectator pass here if you want to attend!

The RGL 6s Philly LAN Open Tournament will take place at LAN and will give non-Invite Playoffs players a chance to play with teammates and friends in person! A maximum of twelve teams will be allowed to participate. Accepted teams will be determined on a first-come-first-serve basis, so sign up as soon as possible with your team of six with your fees paid if you want to participate. Teams will be assigned a set of six computers at Localhost Philly for the Tournament on Saturday and Sunday.

You must be on a registered team in the tournament to participate and also take advantage of the computer-free time outside of the tournament. Please note that LAN fees are non-refundable.

We will also be opening up channels in the RGL Discord for LAN-related discussions, announcements, and travel and lodging coordination.

Thanks. I went ahead and updated the survey to clarify this better.

To give more information about why we even have this survey, we want to get better numbers about how many people are interested in a potential open tournament/pugs/etc., so we can work with the venue to see how many PCs and stations we would need to reserve for the open tournament should there be enough interest.

RGL LAN Survey: We are looking for some feedback and interest in attendance for our 2024 RGL LAN in Philadelphia.

This will help us to get a general idea of how many players are interested in coming out to the LAN and also are interested in playing in open pugs/cups/etc.

Please take a moment and fill out our survey below!

https://rgl.gg/Players/My/Survey?r=40&s=90

From our previous LAN anyway, feedback that we saw a lot from AM-INV 6s is that people wanted an open tournament or pugs so we want to keep that option open for us with this venue. Looking to provide those details once we can finalize them.

Applications for the 6s Staff team are still open as we head into the offseason for RGL Sixes S13. If you are interested in helping out, feel free to apply here.

Hi, just wanted to provide some updates and clarity from the team regarding recent concerns that were raised by players.

Concerns regarding how staff conducted themselves on the forums

To get to the point quickly, we acknowledge and apologize for how Camp3r has conducted himself publicly. Admins are held to a higher standard and have public expectations of how they behave in public because they do represent the league. This behavior conducted is just not the example that should be set forth by anyone on staff. Additionally, we have reached out to Camp3r internally about these concerns and he has agreed and acknowledged them. It should be noted that Camp3r has been going through difficult personal situations and will be taking a break to focus on these important matters. We also acknowledge and apologize for the fact that we had staff arguing publicly on a thread. It should just have never happened, but it did.

Evaluating internal and external policies

There are internal and external policies, ranging from Anti-Cheat to public relations to internal communication issues that we will be evaluating and making sure that our new and current staff follow to prevent many of these issues from happening again. The team will never be perfect with all of these, but it’s obvious that more work needs to be done to make sure that these things get enforced and followed.

We hope to provide updates on the above so players can see that it is being worked on.

Staff involvement with AC & Update on Advanced Playoffs

It should be noted that arcadia is making sure that the case is being looked at, but is not pressuring for a decision to be made. No admin, including the owner, has any say or pressure in AC’s final decision. This is AC’s decision alone.
There will not be a delay with 6s S12 Advanced Playoffs. We expect an AC decision on Sunday (07/16), and we will honor AC’s decision. Regardless of AC’s decision, we expect to hold playoffs starting on Monday, July 17th for Upper 1 and Upper 2 rounds.

Feedback

If you have feedback regarding any of the above or anything not listed, please feel free to fill out this form here. It is an open-response feedback form that the staff team can read through it to continue to better understand concerns players may have. Thanks.

As of the time of this post, we are not running any tests (pugs were ran yesterday). The site is currently up to allow players to click around with the prototype.

That being said, we plan to run more tests this evening.

Looks like Valve updated this part of the blog post from:
