SPONSOR SHOWDOWN
The CNS situation has finally been handled and it’s time for our Sponsor Showdown!

During these last two weeks of the Season our sponsors will be fighting for control of our Arenas, map by map, hour by hour!

You’ll earn championship points for your sponsor by earning Fans for each game you play, across all game modes, and the look and branding of each map will change based on the outcome of your matches.

Will The Arena’s be painted in VAIIYA White, DISSUN Red or ISEUL-T Blue? It’s all up to you and how well you fare against the competition, Contestants!

Remember, the Sponsors are counting on you!

HOW IT WORKS
The Sponsor battle that has been raging all season has determined the starting points for the Showdown Standings:

VAIIYA takes the lead with 80 points to start

DISSUN in second place with 40 points

ISEUL-T in third place starts at 20 points

Update 5.10.0
Balance changes and an AMA
In this update, the Stun Gun has been temporarily removed as we begin a full rework to refine its role as a true crowd control tool. This change is aimed at improving gameplay balance, especially for new players. Check the attached dev note for more details!

Also of note, we’ve been closely investigating server performance for some time, recognizing that it hasn’t been meeting expectations. After thorough analysis, we believe we’ve identified a key issue, and this fix should significantly improve the experience for a large number of players.

That said, our work isn’t done. We’re committed to making ongoing improvements and will continue rolling out fixes as we identify further opportunities for optimization.

Thank you for your feedback and reports, community input has been invaluable in helping us refine the experience. Please keep sharing your observations, and let us know if you experience ... Read more

As ISEUL-T’s generous sponsorship comes to an end they want to see your flashiest moves! This week, your team will be rewarded with some extra cash for showing off by emoting near a cashout that your team starts, steals, or completes!
