Prolander is coming to Europe! RGL.gg is hosting a FREE one day cup for the European community. It's open to players of all skill levels! RGL will separate teams into divisions of eight teams of similar skill. Meaning if you're on a team of new competitive players, you don't have to worry about playing against the top players. On top of having fair divisions, 50% of the teams who enter will win keys! In each skill division, the top four teams will win keys.

The cup is on March 18th, starting at 3pm CET. Every team will play three matches, on payload and king of the hill maps. The cup will last about six hours. New team registration ends on March 15th. Players who are looking for a team can post in the LFT section of the RGL cup website. More information and registration is at the Cup.RGL.gg website.

The cup will be streamed live @ twitch.tv/Kritzkast.

The film will be premiering on February 18th 8:00PM ET / 5:00PM PT, live at ESA Rewind II before the Invite Grand Finals at Esports Arena in Santa Ana, CA. Additionally, you can tune into ESA's Twitch channel.

The Jungle Inferno Campaign will be officially coming to an end this Sunday, February 11th. But don't despair -- Jungle Inferno contracts will continue to be available for existing pass owners. The ConTracker will continue tracking your progress, and you'll still have access to the exclusive items in the Mercenary Park Gift Shop. You'll have to say goodbye to the Jungle Inferno main menu theme and the Special Events matchmaking category, but you'll still be able to play all of the Jungle Inferno maps. Each map will move to the appropriate matchmaking group based on its game mode. Now get back to taunting complete strangers!
