Announcing the 6v6 Throwback Cup!

Almost a year ago, we held a Highlander Throwback Cup. Before our next 6v6 Season kicks-off, allow yourself to be drawn into the past… with some of the most beloved maps we have had the chance to play over the years! Hopefully you have recognized one of the most iconic maps that will be played, shown on the image above. But if you failed to recognize it, rest assured you will have other chances!
