Weekly Tournaments 2.0

Berbo: Hello guys,   Apologies for not taking time to reply to you here, we've been busy with a lot of other things and we tried to closely follow Q&A topic where we try to answer most of your questions.   Now to reply on the messaging in the news. Obviously, we don't give out more gold. It's less as you all noticed and the main idea in the article was to say that it's spread better through playoffs as playoffs rewards are lowered. With increased amount of playoffs we hoped to compensate this cut in rewards (in playoffs). So spreading in this sense is better.  Gold in groups was removed due to many reasons, I'll note a few: - there was no incentive for a lot of teams to play further in the competition - they would take their earning and afk. This behavior is not ok for obvious reasons. - we have an afk teams issue - teams quit after they see they can't progress further and this gives an opportunity to other teams to get the gold with little or no efforts. Some argued that there are no problems with this, but there are actually as while we don't mind giving out gold overall, this wasn't done mainly just to "cut" gold or to "kill" tournaments, but the tournament or competitive environment should reward teams who commit and train and win. Not by simply playing 1 game or 2 eventually.   Now to reply on tournaments in general and how are we trying to "kill" them. This is not true by any means. You may see this as a worst possible decision now but this is just a first step in 2.0. We added weekly cups, twice the amount. We plan to re-introduce 5v5s and other fun formats. We plan to create weekend tournaments and cash tournaments. We even negotiated to have rewards such as WoT branded gaming chair as a reward (still to be confirmed, no promises), and many more hardware items. So we're working hard to improve, this was the first step (I know, many will say it was a bad step) but you'll see soon enough a lot of positive changes and a lot more opportunities to win rewards.   We may not reply to all your posts but we're actively reading and paying attention to your feedback. Our goal is to provide you with more opportunities, bigger and better tournaments and if someone wants to play ranked, feel free but by no means we're trying to push anyone away.    Feel free to share any additional concerns or feedback you have, We'll make sure to check it out and work on it   Thank you
