They are plans todo a PVP tournament in the middle of may or at the end of may, maybe both. One of them is a 1V1 while the other one is a random 3v3. We're holding off on that while we work on the formula and fixing some issues that have been plaguing us for awhile. We would have loved to have get this resolved sooner but alas it's out of our hands.
The competition is now live! The top 3 participants will earn the right to pick Sands of Time.
