Stand The Wall.6987 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 does unranked, ranked, and the current AT system stay in place? will some be dropped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravan.3876 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Swiss is only relevant for AT matchmaking/ bracket building as far as i know. It will not affect unranked/ ranked. It means when you lose a match during an AT you are not immediately out of it. You will have more matches and can come back from a lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(saw this suggestion and has stuck with me since reading it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yanniell.1236 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Watched last monthly and the whole thing lasted less than an hour. There isn't even enough people playing the "most prestigious" tournament. I don't know if swiss is even needed anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still some work to do, but we're optimistic.The desire for swiss was never a population thing. We just believe that the combination of swiss and single elimination we plan is a better, more competitive format. It also gives teams more chances to play together rather than 1 loss and out.

But we want to get the queuing issues mitigated first. There is some concern that with more tournaments available, individual tournaments will have less participation. 2v2 & 3v3 tournaments are currently only planned for special events. We're planning to run more of these in the future, but we've both been waiting for swiss and waiting for a bug fix on the relog issue that came out in in the last 2v2 event we ran.
