Winter has arrived, we have stepped through the doorstep to November and its time for Winter War, the new Territory League season from RO2 League!

Elite Division[www.ro2arena.com] (previously Division One) kicks off between the seven best Red Orchestra 2 teams around! Two-time winners SHTRAFBAT return, the double Grand Champions looking for a straight third Grand Champion title, a feat which would sure be remembered as a true mark of dominance for years to come! Challengers are rising with familiar faces from previous season welcoming an old-timer FuoM into the fray - as well as UNION, rising as last season's Second Division Champions to look for the challenge of Elite Division. Look forward to an exciting season this winter!

Entry Division[www.ro2arena.com], earlier called Second Division, has grown in numbers and talent with 11 teams in 2 groups battling for the Title of Entry Division Champions during the five-week season and the Playoffs that follow. Reigning Champion UNION has left for different challenges, leaving the seat open for the next team to grab. Will [IDF] return to their place as Champions or will one of the challengers, old or new, find themselves on top? Time will tell what surprises we have in store for this intriguing season.



Winter War -season returns to using more strict Gameweek-system - Matches are required to be played within the scheduled Gameweek, for example Gameweek #1 runs 1st November - 8th November, so the first matches are expected to be scheduled within that time. If a team cannot play their match during the week, they must contact the other team and schedule the match for another week and therefore play 2 matches during a later week. The season will not be delayed - we will find our Champions before Christmas week.

We recommend every team to read the Global RO2 League Rules[www.ro2league.com] as well as Elite/Entry Divison Rules to be sure they are on track. Comment in your match / contact the leader in Steam to let your opponent know if you have troubles scheduling. Any questions, write in the Winter War Forums or contact Finalize, Suugi or Rivimies through Steam. We are here to help to keep the competition flowing so don't be afraid to ask!



We apologize for the delay caused by getting the matches to the website. The matches are there now, so teams - get organizing! ;) We are looking forward to a great season and we wish every team luck and good matches for the coming weeks. See you on the battlefield!
