The group behind last year’s roleplay-based Blitzball tournament is back in action again! The group from the Balmung server, For Gold and Glory, are recruiting players for another tournament fundraiser. This year, they will be raising funds for To Write Love on her Arms, a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide.
This year, there will be 8 teams vying for the Championship, each team from a different region of Hydaelyn, and sponsored by a different group of FFXIV content creators. For our part, we are proud to be supporting the Kugane Koban Crushers for the second year in a row. Click here to donate in support of our team.
