6v6 Global Whitelist
The Global Whitelist for the 6v6 competitive format was released on September 8th, 2016 after weeks of discussion between league representatives and top players all over the world in an effort to standardize the competitive format.[1] It was a major milestone because of the large variety of unlocks previously banned since their releases being unbanned except for the overly broken ones.
Over time, the Global Whitelist has undergone iterations and changes based on community feedback. These revisions occur between seasons of the major leagues. [2]
All leagues supporting 6v6 have so far accepted the Global Whitelist (UGC, ETF2L, ozfortress, and AsiaFortress). ESEA has since withdrawn and uses their own whitelist.
