Editing 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.<ref name="Global whitelist unveiled">[http://www.teamfortress.tv/36168/global-whitelist-unveiled Global whitelist unveiled]</ref> 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. Controversy and disagreement from the community led to a revised whitelist a day later.<ref name="Adjustments made to global whitelist">[http://www.teamfortress.tv/36194/adjustments-made-to-global-whitelist Adjustments made to global whitelist]</ref>

All leagues supporting 6v6 have so far accepted the Global Whitelist ([[UGC|UGC]], [[ETF2L|ETF2L]], [[ESEA|ESEA]], [[ozfortress|ozfortress]], and [[AsiaFortress|AsiaFortress]]).
