dance210: I've gotten stuck at "Connecting" a couple of times. Each time, I restarted my laptop, tried again, and connected just fine. Not sure if it will help at all, but have you tried submitting a ticket to support?? Good luck!

Captain_Judo: Correct, the 3rd place match will be played simultaneously

Captain_Judo: The Grand Finale  
BLOOD & THUNDER VS S.I.M.P.
41,100 gold is up for grabs! Your battle begins in approximately 45 minutes.
Good luck!

GeneralDirection: If you take a look at the replays, they were essentially mirror matches. So no, I doubt Lettuce knows what Leftover G's are planning to do. And they probably can't discern it from looking at these replays, since the strats used were specifically to attempt to counter what SIMP has done the whole tournament.

Captain_Judo: And then there were two..
Championship Game
S.I.M.P. VS SIMPLISTIC
How did they get here?
S.I.M.P. breezed through their qualifying round, undefeated, receiving a full 24 points out of 24 points available. Their most formidable challenge came in the 3rd round of the playoffs, where they narrowly defeated team Enjoy , What? by a final score of 3:2. It certainly prepared them for their following match-ups as they defeated formidable opponents Fulcrum Gaming and Lettuce Turnip The Beet by a combined score of 6:1.
SIMPLISTIC suffered a single loss in the qualifying round to Rilaks Raiders. Nevertheless, they advanced to the playoffs and faced a challenging third round against The Silent Ones, edging them by a final score of 3:2. This must have awakened the beast that is SIMPLISTIC as they swept their remaining opponents, HZRD and Leftover G's.
S.I.M.P. VS SIMPLISTIC
To the winning team goes $16,440 - good luck!

Hypnotik: Does G know what Turnip is doing? And vice Versa? And considering that there's $8k on the line, are you 110% sure that SIMP knows what the other SIMP is doing?

GeneralDirection: Considering SIMP kind of knows what SIMP is doing, I don't see that as an issue.

Hypnotik: So you're publishing what each team's strats are that are still in this tournament before it's over? What made you think that this was a good idea?

Hypnotik: Very well played SIMP. GG's.

Captain_Judo: It's not being streamed.

GeneralDirection: This is a very good point. We'll make sure to balance it out so that credit income is similar to purchasing a discounted vehicle.

GeneralDirection: This has nothing to do with "looking at numbers" and everything to do with our production schedule. There's only so many hours in a day, and the larger matchmaker changes that went live in 7.5 took precedence over this.
It would be great if we could do all changes at the same time, but unfortunately that's not realistic in a development environment. Not to mention it's extremely dangerous because you risk breaking far more than you can fix in a short time frame.

GeneralDirection: That's an interesting idea. I'll talk with Major_Rampage about that.
Oh, I suppose it's a good time to mention that he's now the Game Events Manager at WGA.

GeneralDirection: Don't worry--we'll definitely continue discounting vehicles, just not as part of this event type.

GeneralDirection: We're planning to change the way the weekly Tech Tree Focus works to better line up with the goals of the event. The Tech Tree Focus events will no longer discount the credit cost of a branch of vehicles. Instead, vehicles tiers 3 through 6 will earn bonus credits for every battle.
The overall net result should be about the same, but instead of feeling good about a vehicle purchase, each battle in it will feel more rewarding. We feel this is a good thing because it means you'll get more fun out of playing the vehicles. It also means that players won't be penalized for wanting to sell their vehicles on Monday-Friday, since during these events the vehicles discounted also sell back at a lower rate.
This is tentatively scheduled to go into effect in December; we'll make sure to update you if that changes. We'll monitor feedback on the new format of the event and will make changes if necessary. Please note that this does not mean we're discontinuing the credit discount mechanic--that will still happen, just not as part of this particular event.
Keep an eye on the community portal this week for details on a cool new event mechanic that we'll kick off in December as well.

GeneralDirection: We have some changes planned for scout tanks. We're still ironing out the details so I can't say anything concrete, but we do realize that some tier 4 lights do not play like scouts and should not receive the same matchmaking.
