FoF Season 6 Heroic - Here’s what you need to know

League of Legends 5v5 League Series

First, congratulations to our winners!

Congratulations to Yuumiversal Basic Income for their third championship in Friend or Foe! Additionally, shoutouts to YUBI for their $836 total donation to the Washington Education Association (original $500 from winnings and extra donations from private donors). We’d like to thank all our competitors for participating in the Friend or Foe Series and making these charity opportunities possible for us. The project has taken us far above our expectations and we’re excited to produce more competition for all the good little GodGamers out there waiting to participate.

Another shoutout to the winners of the Mythic Spring Tournament: Team Rice Farmers. Although the Mythic tournament was much smaller than expected this year, it was beneficial to how we look to view the future of our leagues. Our goal is to make fun competition accessible to as many gamers as possible, while still making our seasons feel like a mountain that only few capable teams can climb. Please look forward to more competition as we attempt to achieve this goal.

General Tournament Info

Tournament Format

Like normally, FFS6 includes three total phases: The first involves a Qualifier Round should it be necessary to narrow down the list of applicants to 8 total teams for one League. Like usual, since we don’t know the precise number of teams needed for this season’s Qualifier, the exact format for the Qualifiers will be announced as we arrive closer to the date.

Once the teams have officially been narrowed down, eight teams will play two Best-of-One games a week in a 7-week Double Round Robin stage during the Regular Season. Win/Loss records from this stage determine the seeding for the final Playoff Stage.

Once the Regular Season stage has been completed, the top six teams of the designated league will be seeded into a Single-Elimination Bracket Playoff Stage. Contrasting the Regular Season stage, the Playoff stage consists of Best-of-Five matches. The winner of this Single-Elimination bracket will be crowned as Friend or Foe Champions.

Prizing

For both the Heroic and eventual Mythic League, the winning teams receive the following rewards for their participation and dedication to our league:

• Championship Title

• Championship Art Piece

• $500 donated to a Charity of your choice

• Championship Merch Design

As an organization still looking to grow, we’d like to thank all of our players and supporters for constantly engaging with our community and stream. We’d also like to thank our Twitch Subs, Logitech, ProComps, Academy of Art and Adobe Creative Cloud for making our show and these charity prize pools possible.
