Season 6 of the Rivals Championship Series kicked off this year with a brand new event at Riptide! After a long break, the Rivals community was able to gather (masked up) at our largest event yet in Rivals history with 245 entrants. Amazing games, new competition, and a fresh meta look to make this one of the most exciting years yet for competitive Rivals.
