|
Pick/ban Prolander is a fairly new competitive game mode. It was promoted mainly by members of the Highlander community and more notoriously the RGL league sigafoo. It aims at being a middle ground between 6v6 play and highlander, giving more opportunities for situational classes to appear ingame due to being limited to one player per class. It was originally going to be a 6v6 mode but after negative comments in a teamfortress.tv sigafoo decided to make it 7v7. The main Prolander league is Recharge Gaming League ran by sigafoo. Most of the map pool is similar to that of highlander, with payload and koth maps. The teams pick and ban weapons before starting the match.
