Captains Draft
Kings Draft
This tournament will be your typical captains draft, with the 6-8 highest rated players being captains for the King's side. If you have been selected as a captain, please make sure we are able to reach out to you on discord.
Princes Draft
Once the players in the Kings bracket have been selected, we will proceed with the Princes Draft. Once again the 6-8 highest rated remaining players will become captains, and will start the pick process for the participants that weren't picked.
Draft Information
The draft will take place on the 14th of November, 15 UTC until the 20th of November. It will take place in the #KingofSetons channel on the Official FAF Discord in the Tournaments section.
I would prefer to do it in one go and if captains would like to arrange a call date so that we could potentially stream the draft that would be great, I will contact all of the captains to see if this is possible once they have been selected.
Captains may pick any player, and no player is able to reject being drafted. If the player does not wish to play with who they have been drafted with, they will withdraw from the tournament.
The draft orders will be determined once the signups have closed.
Format
A simple double elimination bracket or swiss with a final, with all the games being BO3. There will be 6-8 teams in each bracket.

Legend of the Stars 2026 | | $1000 | 1v1
Hey commanders, it's time for the start of the LotS season!
Some quick notes before we begin. Everything will remain the same aside from mappooling. I've had lot's of feedback from players during my tenure, and the biggest issue I've come across the most is players being unable to get enough time to practice maps to a good level of quality. In this premier events, we want the highest quality of matches and entertainment. Therefore we will reduce the mappool size for the entirety of the tournament, using a mappool of 21 to 25 maps for the Qualifiers, Swiss Stage, and Playoffs. Not only that but we will be releasing the mappools 2 weeks before each starting point.

RE: Challengers Cup III | 4v4 | u6600 | $300
Challengers Cup III has concluded
Hi all, congratulations to team Overrated for winning this time round! I'd like to thank those who actually did show up to the event and participate with respect.
1st Place - Overrated
- Aranei
- fighting_cock
- White_Owl
- ASUSPRO
2nd Place - Losers
- Lolichan
- Finisterre
- mihmed
- StillX
However, due to the nature of the event and the things that transpired, I have decided to withdraw the funds that were for 2nd and 3rd place. And also give only faction logo avatars to the 2nd place team.
There are multiple reasons for this, I will name a few. The actual competitiveness of this event aside from the 2 teams that participated until the end and a few helpful others, it was honestly really unencouraging. There were arguments between players, kicking opponents from lobbies repeatedly, lack of co-operation and it was just plainly disrespectful. There were also many no-shows which meant we had to scramble to find players to even start the tournament. There were only 4 teams, one forfeited after 3 maps, and another was disqualified.
The reason I host tournaments is so that people can have a fun experience, improve and experience more competitive environments. This was not the case yesterday. I'd like to apologise to the players who took time out of their day to be there and were willing to play until the end. I never want to make a post like this, but sadly sometimes these things happen and we'll work to make sure they don't happen again.
And on that note, I'll use the funds taken away and use it for another team tournament that will be announced in the next few weeks.

RE: Challengers Cup III | 4v4 | u6600 | $300
Mappool has been released, and the veto alongside it.
Each team will ban down to 3 maps and then pick 1 map. The last map left is the decider. Veto must be done before the games start.
