My favorite kind of competitions are about to start up. The "just bring your skills" kind.

It's the ones where, as a competitor, you have the fewest reasons to blame for poor performance.

Quake, UT, FGC.

Arenas $10,000 Cash Cups inbound! First $1,000 "Winner Stays" 1v1 Power Rankings competitions taking place in Brazil.

This is a big change for Ranked. This addresses a number of frequent community issues, most notably are those that screenshot "Unreal in my Bronze, Silver, Gold lobby."

This comes with a tradeoff. Longer queue times. So you'll see an increase in screenshots of players that experience longer queue times. This is in an effort to take the extra time needed to find you quality matches in your rank tier.

What this means long-term (likely coming sooner rather than later) is that we have to go through and consolidate playlists that have always had too few players in the queue in Ranked.
