RGL (Recharge Gaming League) is a North American League, supporting Prolander (7v7), Highlander and 6v6. It is currently the only Prolander league in existence. They host prolander pickup-games within their league.

History

A number of figures in the highlander community were playing with the idea of having a class limit of 1 in 6v6 to force the usage of situational classes in competitive. This eventually led to the Challenge Cup in late 2016, a cup with $2,000 USD in prizes which was meant to be 6v6 but was changed to 7v7 in the last minute. Sigafoo would later create RGL a league specifically aimed at 7v7. It had a prize pool of $4,000 USD in its opening season which attracted many high level ESEA Invite players to the league. Prolander was the main format until Highlander was announced in July of 2018. The league started to become more and more popular becoming the designated North American Highlander league. After the discontinuation of ESEA's 6v6 league, RGL made their own league for 6s in later 2019. RGL is currently the premier league for competitive 6v6 with RGL on its 5th season.

Ruleset

In pick and ban Prolander, each team bans 3 weapons and picks 3 weapons that can't be banned. The bans affect both teams.

Format

RGL traditionally runs three seasons a year in the 7v7, Highlander, and 6v6 formats. Each season generally starts in the Summer, Spring, and Winter. Teams are placed into skill divisions based on the combined experience on the roster. During the regular season, teams will play against opponents with a similar rank win/loss streak. For the playoffs, the Top 4, Top 6, Top 8, or Top 16 teams in a division are placed into a title bracket. All divisions play in a single-elimination bracket, with Highlander using a Gauntlet System for its Invite Division. All playoff matches are played in a Best of 3 format.

Regular season matches are played on single maps, in 2 halves. Depending on the game type, the win conditions differ:

  • On King of the Hill maps, the first half of the map ends only when one team wins 2 rounds. The second half ends if the other team wins 2 rounds or when one team wins their 4th cumulative round.
  • Attack/Defend and Payload maps are played as best of 3 stopwatch rounds. Teams alternate between attacking and defending every round, and each team defends once in a half. The round is won by whichever team captures the most points the fastest.

Highlander

RGL currently only supports North America (NA) for the Highlander Format.

7v7

Due to the boost in popularity for the 6v6 and HL leagues, RGL has only running 2 Prolander cups for the fall season.

Map List for PL Season 8

6v6

RGL currently only supports North America (NA) for the Traditional Sixes Format. Invite follows a pick-ban format and thus does not follow the weekly cycle of maps.
