History and Reception

The idea of Prolander was popular discussion in the Highlander community, and Sigafoo had began testing out matches in the said format. Originally, it was supposed to be a 6v6 variation, but then, it was later modified to a 7v7 format due to popular demand from the following playerbase behind it, and the TF2 community itself who shown interest in the format.

For now, the only league that hosts Prolander tournaments is RGL, and it became quite popular in the competitive community thanks to the sheer amount of regions the aforementioned league covers (North America, Europe and Australia) as well as the playerbase itself, which continues to grows as the format continues to be played on high-level tournaments.
