Greetings! Fireside Casts is proud to announce that intercontinental competition will be returning to North America for the first time in seven years! Fireside is partnering with Physgun and Mannco.store to host a 14-team tournament at the Localhost venue in Lakewood, CO just outside Denver proper.
The event will feature the best of North America, Europe, and Oceania, with confirmed attendees including Like A G6, The Dothogs, Witness EU, and Witness AU!

FAQ
What is the closest airport to the venue?
Denver International Airport (DEN). It is about 1h40m from the venue by public transit or 45m from the venue by car.
What are the available accommodations around the area?
We have arranged a discounted hotel block at Courtyard Denver Southwest/Lakewood ($129) and Residence Inn Denver Southwest/Lakewood ($139). These rooms will feature two queen-size beds and one king-size bed respectively. Both come with a hot breakfast. The booking link for the hotel block will be released at a later date. The hotel block does have limited capacity and booking period. There are also multiple AirBNBs and other hotels in the area.
Will there be individual or team tickets?
Tickets will be sold per team at $660 ($110 per player) and will be released per the above timeline.
Will I have to swap with people during the tournament?
Teams will not be moved during the Group Stage. During playoffs, the teams on broadcast will have the stage; that is the only case in which teams may be moved.
What maps will be played?
Maps will be based on the mutual maps played between RGL, ETF2L, and ozfortress for a total of a 7-map pool. In the event that there are not seven maps shared between the three leagues, the organisers will meet with the invited teams to come to an agreement, most likely sourcing from the NA pool.
