This will be a FREE tournament open to players of all skill levels, and best of all, half of the teams that enter will win keys! During the cup, you will be playing against teams of similar skill, so you don't have to worry about playing against the top players.

New team registration ends on July 18th. 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.AU.RGL.gg website.

Signups for Ready Steady Pan Season 4 are finally open! We're very excited for all the frying pan action throughout the season, but one thing you may be asking yourself is "where do I signup?".
