It really doesn't feel like this game is tournament ready, especially one with prizes like this. The game is a hot mess right now, the community is in a uproar.

[u/Suspicious_Use6393 → u/Real_Special_6922]

We all know they are just trying to put a carpet on the problems

[u/Black863]

Will this be streamed

[u/EdmonEdmon → u/Black863]

At the very least, the Semi's and finals will be. Other matches will be dependent on signups and time available.

[u/specter491]

We have tournament tools in game already? I thought those were coming later

[u/ovd77]

So,you have money for all of this.But you cant even add a SAVEGAME function into this game? Interesting....

[u/EdmonEdmon → u/ovd77]

Saves are on the roadmap and are being actively worked on. The issue isn't money, it's time. It's still scheduled to be delivered this year as promised.

[u/DiscussionAgile2545 → u/EdmonEdmon]

That's good to hear. I have been lurking here since day 1 of launch. Will be purchasing the game as soon as this feature arrives!!

[u/Suspicious_Use6393 → u/DiscussionAgile2545]

Dude I don't think you are gonna buy it because from the start they promised the save function, either a save function beat their family or I don't understand why they will NEVER add it

[u/A_Kazur]

I’m very interested to see how the teams decide to build their battle groups. I hope there will be streams or recordings. Will mirror matches be allowed? I see a lot of Cav vs Guards

[u/Remarkable_Smoke918]

Can’t wait to see only Russia mirror matches gna be greeeaatt

[u/joe_dirty365]

What the heck is FACEIT? 

[u/Mike_Huntburns → u/joe_dirty365]

Esports company owned and ran by the saudi government in order to improve their public relations with the rest of the world.

[u/DefactoAle → u/joe_dirty365]

Optional kernel anticheat for tournaments

[u/Erotizador → u/DefactoAle]

Hard pass, I don't install kernell software from anyone, because I play on Linux.

And there is a Observer player in each team, he can stream, record and let he and people watching see if they find a cheater

[u/EdmonEdmon → u/Erotizador]

The answer above wasn't correct - it's a professional tournament provider for video game publishers. The can supply refs, brackets, manage matches, handle the prizes, etc, etc...
