Get Ready for the RCS Finals at Genesis 8

We’re just about a month out for the Rivals Championship Series finals and we can’t wait to return to the big stage! The historic finals event was on hold due to COVID concerns, but things are launching back into action on April 15th – 17th where our Season 6 Champion will be crowned.

This event has tons in store and plenty to look forward to for players and spectators alike. In addition to a player being crowned the season 6 champion, they’ll also be getting the lion’s share of our massive compendium pot bonus – currently sitting at over $12,000 dollars thanks to our amazing community.

Make Your Finals Preparations!

  • 1. For those planning to watch from home make sure to stay tuned for the final stream schedule coming soon. We’ll be announcing the stream schedule along with commentators in the coming weeks. Due to the date change, we have also had several commentator slots open. If you’d like a chance to do commentary for Rivals at Genesis 8 please apply via our commentary and volunteer form.
  • 2. For those attendees and competitors coming in person – please double check your travel information, event registration, and hotel reservations to ensure everything goes smoothly. Due to the date change we urge you to double check that your reservations are all set for the correct dates: April 15th – 17th.
  • 3. Familiarize yourself with the rules. This year will be the first year that a finals event has special character legality rules. A new section has been added to account for the Workshop Character Pack:
It was decided before Genesis 8 took place that due to the Workshop Pack release date – Olympia, Hodan, Pomme, and Mollo would not be legal by default at Genesis 8. Upon review we have decided to uphold this ruling even in light of Genesis 8’s date change. However, in the interest of allowing willing players to play the full cast – Olympia, Hodan, Pomme, and Mollo may be played by Gentleman’s Rule. This means that these characters may be chosen provided both players consent to their use. Once players agree that any one of the four new characters listed above are usable during a set, all characters are legally allowed to be used from then on for the entirety of that set. As with any gameplay rules violation, it is the player’s responsibility to stop the game immediately if an opponent is breaking the rules (e.g. playing Olympia, Hodan, Pomme, or Mollo without the consent of both players).

Get ready for the return to offline events with our biggest stakes and stage of the season with the Rivals Championship Series Finals at Genesis 8. We can’t wait to see everyone there!
