Special Event Tournaments

We have heard that aside from conquest Tournaments, there will be special event tournaments. Here is a quote from Ben:

Keep in mind that we still don't have plans to make 2v2's and 3v3's a full game mode. They will just be getting special tournaments here and there. Frequency is still tbd.Source

Was wondering, is it possible to have 2 tournament types running at the same time? with the upcoming changes we could have 2v2, stronghold and conquest on-demand tournaments, that can be a way to have multiple 'gamemodes' running at the same time.

Thoughts?

Just an idea, but maybe in the future you should consider something like a "brawl" system that's present in some blizzard games. The idea is that there'd be a "core" tournament structure that we have now which would stay as it is, but every 2nd week there'd be a new "special" tournament running once a day or so.

For example, 1 week of 2v2s tournaments, 1 week break, followed by 1 week of 3v3, then a break again, maybe even a competitive kegbrawl? It'd help to keep things fresh.

Anyway,thanks for the reply! :')

Splitting the population is certainly a pretty large concern. One thing we'll be looking for when we finally start the special tournaments is to see how many people participate who don't participate in normal league play. This could help us with future decisions.

I would like for the 'Special Event Tournament' to be a whole day thing, that way people who have different timezones can try them out :)
