So the Launch Season of Bloodline Champions has pretty much just begun, we’ve released a new patch with some nice updates and additions. Together with that we also have couple of balance changes and a few bigger changes as the ones to the Vanguard and the Guardian. (Which hopefully turns out well or people will be yelling at me )
Anyway, during the launch season we will be seeing eSport manager James “2GD” Harding hosting weekly tournaments on the site
http://www.glhf.gg/. We want our community to be able to take part in some tournament action before the launch of Season 1 which is planned to go live in March and with Season 1 we will introduce a couple of major updates such as:
Tournament System
In the first version of the Tournament System you will be able to jump straight into a Tournament with a single click. A set number of Tournaments will be hosted every week with special in-game prizes!
To be able to participate in a Tournament you must first qualify by playing team matchmaking, which is another thing that we are planning to update with this patch. Players and Teams will be able to dynamically rise and fall in ranks, divisions and leagues between games. We will also introduce placement matches which will fit teams and players into an appropriate league faster! We are also looking at how players are matched and even though we believe that it works fairly well we will do our best to further improve the matchmaking system.
After your placement games your team will be able to join a Tournament with the right requirements; if you have been placed in the Iron or Bronze league you can participate in Tournaments with Iron/Bronze requirement, if you’ve placed in the Gold league you can participate in Tournaments with Gold requirements. We will be hosting Tournaments for all skill levels so that everyone can experience Tournament games in Bloodline Champions!
On top of this we will introduce Tournament currency that can be used to unlock special items in the Marketplace. We will also improve the current rewards for participating in a season, more players will be able to take part of rewards and we will also improve the quality of these rewards.
