Why the Change in Structure?
You might notice we are not grouping events by season anymore. Initially, we thought aligning tournaments with in-game seasons would be a great idea. However, we found it more beneficial to separate them. This approach gives us the flexibility to support more competitive events throughout the year without tying them to game seasons.
Community Engagement
The excitement around these tournaments is palpable online, with many players and fans engaging on platforms like Twitter. Hashtags related to Frosty Faustings and other events are trending, showing a strong community enthusiasm for upcoming competitions.
A Unique Skin for a Good Cause
Another exciting update is our Frame Perfect skin set, launching with the Frosty Faustings event. Each purchase will contribute to prize pools and operational costs for future events. It’s a win-win!
We’re thrilled for what’s ahead and can’t wait to see everyone at these events. Whether you’re competing or cheering from the sidelines, your support makes it all worthwhile!
