In line with pandemic restrictions due to the COVID-19 situation, there will be no physical LAN events, but the FNCS will be returning each season, to be played online.

Cash Cups will also return, allowing eligible players the chance to win prizes from a prize pool.

Cash Cups - We're ensuring players can hop into competitive matches with cash prizes on a routine basis. We've been iterating on how players earn points, as well as the structure of the tournaments. Two-step Cash Cups will qualify a top group of players into a final lobby.
