Season 4 Events Primer

One of the first things fans will notice this year is that there’s now more time between events. Even though there’s no shortage of great tournaments to be a part of, we would rather make the pacing more manageable instead of forcing attendees to pick and choose.

Our goal for the circuit is to make each event one worth traveling to. Each stop on the circuit promises new cities, more games, high quality production, and the biggest stages for Rivals players to compete on. This year we’ve continued the tradition of representing our community alongside the greater FGC, and have even expanded to some exciting new events to keep tournaments bigger and better.

This season also features much fewer online events than previous years. While online events are easy to join, we’ve heard loud and clear that players prefer the competitive integrity of offline events for the official circuit. The ones we do feature on the circuit this year will be huge, but not a place to get your weekly or monthly tournament fix like previous seasons. Make sure to visit our discord server and check out the tournament section for daily online events.

Finally, one other notable reason we’ve slimmed down our event schedule is to allow the flourishing grassroots scene room to grow. This is something we’ve been honored and humbled to see happening, and this year seemed like the right time to let these events really come into their own. These are events where Rivals is the focus, the schedule is dedicated to it, the stream is dedicated to it, and the fans are coming out for it – so make sure to support these events when you can.

We hope you’re excited to watch and attend our events this year! Let us know what you think of the schedule in the comments below.
