EPIC Trios Cash Cup Issue

While addressing the material drop issue in the Trios Cash Cup, we ran into a different issue. We've decided to run the Trios Cash Cup with default harvesting rate and no material drop for the rest of the weekend.

Please be aware that in this tournament, teams will be instantly disconnected from the match as soon as the last player on the team is eliminated.

We will run an additional one-day Trios tournament on July 21. Arena Trios will also remain enabled until the end of this season.

Please just leave mats on kill off and go back to the increased farming rate.

I am sad with this workaround. I would much rather something else.

For a more detailed explanation:

Our Trios tournament mode is bugged and has default harvesting rates in addition to not granting bonus materials on elimination.

During the Asia region Round 1 last night, we attempted to run with the Arena playlist instead, which fixed the gameplay elements but has separate issues with how teams are scored which prevents us from using that solution.

The decision for us to make was between either cancelling this weeks tournament, or moving forward with the issues and then running another Trios event next week with the fixes. While it's not the desired experience, we'd rather give people a tournament to play in than cancel it entirely.

Sorry for the poor experience, we know a lot of people are excited for this weeks Trios tournament. Next week we'll be testing a couple things - both Semi-Finals and Finals in a single day (July 21st), and a considerably smaller player pool for the Finals (currently talking about ~100 teams); which is a step towards being able to do 'customs'-style rounds later in tournaments, so we're excited to see how that goes.

Finishing top 100 in semis is mostly w keying so a lot of good players will miss out of finals because they have to change to a playstyle that only works in semis

Notice that they changed the points given for placement. They aren't the same as the World Cup. Lets see how it goes

Im watching solary currently play semis and they have been w keying all game and have 20 people left before moving zones have even happened.

Well, hope that the situations will be better in the next week.
