RTS-League: Clan Leagues for Strategy Gamers

After some time accommodating to other tournament hosts to allow the community to flourish with new content, here comes some old, ancient one again, with an appropriately rickety, yet always reliably coming back pace - RTS League's Age of Mythology: The Titans Clan League starts its already 32nd Season!

Much clamour has been had in the community for testing players', and clans', skills in team game warfare again, and since time has come to make things a reality, we are once more asking the community and you all - who is the best clan and who will fall?

Sign up, follow the streams, win games, post comments, avoid flames, whatever your role is to be in Season 32, let this be an experience you are hoping it to be, too - the whole community is an important part of what we do here, and so we hope it will provide as much fun to everyone as it should.

RTS League is always open to clans of all skill levels, all will find their fun and place here, and maybe you'll also find you're better than you thought - preparation is a powerful tool Don't hesitate to ask questions and make sure you are a real clan and we have a deal - sign up below with all the info and if all checks out, we'll see you on the battlefield!

Don't forget you can sign up also as a co-clan, meaning if you are a small clan or a clan with a small amount of active players, you can join with another one in a similar situation to make a viable competitor - remember, this is to allow clans who could not otherwise compete to actually take part if you want to, not to create some shenanigans to circumvent the Rules.

We have a Discord that you should join as a complementary source of contact (compulsory for Clan Operators to be able to better contact your other counterparts more readily, or more so for us if something is going on), but otherwise everything stays the same - scheduling here, game uploading here. No one is interested in unruly chaos, we are just adding more avenues for connections.

Now to the actual thing:

How to Sign Up

To take part in Season 32 and have a chance at the fun (and possibly the Banners ), your clan will need to fit a few conditions to ensure you would be a positive contribution to the League.

First you will need a Clan Operator - the guy/gal representing you in the competition, scheduling your matches with the opponents and communicating with League staffers on your behalf. This person should be reliable, responsible and available regularly, every day if at all possible. Proper and timely communication is the key here. You can, of course, have more than 1 Clan Operator to cover for each other (it's actually recommended, or at least have a designated back-up within your clan)

Then you must have at least 6 active players ready to participate - this is to ensure you are able to complete your matches regularly even if some of your heroes happen to be temporarily unavailable. We are also a clan competition, not team competition, therefore the players need to be your true clan members, not random players you just asked a day before to play with you in RTSL.

Further you need to be familiar with the League rules. Read them carefully, and pay good attention.

And when you've checked all these points and you're ready to join, then again make sure that your clan meets the criteria listed above and within the rules and simply post the following sign-up form (if you're new and need an account first, follow the instructions up top under the menu and we'll get it done). Returning clans need just to confirm the participation, but still re-read the rules, too, to be sure you know everything - ignorance is no excuse. Really not, help save both you and us a headache of potential disputes. We are different from other competitions, for example in no vetoes.

Number of Active Members:
Clan Operator Nickname and Contact, including Discord ID:
Clan Leader Nickname and Contact:
Clan Operator has read the rules and agrees to them:

B(C, etc.)-teams need to supply their complete roster with the application as well to allow us to gauge their strength so that we know where to seed them. Please also pay special attention to the guidelines on Guest Players found in Rule 4 - you need to list them as well to allow us to properly seed the clans.

Please sign your clan up only if you seriously want to take part in the League, do not sign up inactive or fake clans or clans with too few players to actually meaningfully compete. Clans that drop out during the season will be excluded from the next one/s.

If you have a specific clan situation, e.g. you'd like to play as a joint clan since neither of you can form a proper sign-up, but together it would work, or anything else, let us know and talk to us about it so that we can figure it out - we're not in the business of denying participants if there's a good reason to let you play and have fun, without spoiling the fun for others (that's important).

Sign-ups will be tentatively closed on Sunday 21st March (prolonged to 28th) - we are looking to try this short period to see how things look, as clans are eager (and we'll contact them), and we are trying to coordinate with Voobly League, and knowing soon how many clans we'll have will help us gauge how to proceed - so please, try to sign up as soon as possible, so we can figure everything out for the community's best outcome, thanks.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me (Black Adder) or ChronoJJ.

Looking forward to having you in the League, and spread the word - the more clans, the more fun for everyone!
