8-Team Tournaments Disabled

#1 - March 27, 2013, 4:44 p.m.

Our 2-Team Tournaments have been growing in popularity since they were introduced, however very few players are queuing up for the 8-Team Tournament format anymore, due to that. This often means that players can queue up for hours, without an 8-Team Tournament ever kicking off. This is not a good experience, so we’ve decided to disable them. While we may bring back multi-round PvP tournaments in the future, for now we will be discontinuing the 8-Team, 3-Round Tournament format.

I just want the free paid tournaments chests back because I still need to get armor from that chest.

The items from the 8-Team tournament chest were added to the 2-Team tournament chests. So they should all still be obtainable.

I don’t think a 2 teams match is a “tournament”. The minimum is 4 teams, elimination (2 matches) and a 3rd match with winners. Cross server, by the way, and ranked.

Agreed, we’ll eventually rebrand these as Rated Matches, rather than 2-Team Tournaments. It’s just something that requires changing text in a number of different areas, and a new build. So for now we are still calling them tournaments.
