Delta Force Opens Rise Series Season 2 Qualifiers Across EMEA and Americas
Delta Force's first official PC regional tournament program, the Rise Series, is now accepting registrations for its Season 2 Open Qualifier — the entry point for teams looking to compete at the organized level without needing organizational backing.
The broader Rise Series runs as parallel circuits in EMEA and the Americas, with a $1,000,000 total annual prize pool across two seasons and a Partners Program described as backed by multi-million-dollar investment.
