Tournament Information:
LetsPlay.Live (LPL) are excited to announce the introduction of the Evolution League, along with our Amateur and Open Leagues.

In Season 1 2021, R6S will have a $4,000AUD prize pool for the players that reach the top of Evolution and Amateur. Our hope with the Evolution league is to create a higher level of competitive play for those teams that aren't quite ready to hit OCL but sit above Amateur Division.
