Commanders of all worlds - Rejoice!

Some weeks ago our team has been contacted by the admins of Planetary Annihilation and Forged Alliance Forever (Supreme Commander) communities.

They came over with an absolutely stellar idea of organizing a tournament featuring the three prominent Total Annihilation-inspired games and that they wanted to include BAR as one of them.

Purpose of the Triathlon

To form the bonds between those awesome communities and praise the legacy of Chris Taylor's magnificent creations. Without any second thoughts, we loved the concept immediately, so here we are, announcing...

The hottest event in real-time strategy is coming this weekend!

The RTS triathlon is a 2v2 tournament where the 2 players unfamiliar with each game will be coached by a player experienced with it. Four representatives from each community has been chosen to form the teams of three.

For the past few weeks the participants have trained to achieve understanding of the different games. It has been a lot of fun discovering the similarities and the slight nuances that make every single one of them so unique. If you would like to see the coaching streams, you can see them all on RTS Triathlon Discord channel. We are having a ball there! :)

The tournament day matches will be casted by the coaches of the respective teams. To watch them tune in to the official Twitch channel of the RTS Triathlon:
