News about the next set of cards, a Monthly Cup qualifier adjustment, and MCXV recap!

Cranking the card factory

We continue to get questions about what we're working on next, now that Oversky is fully released. Without getting into details, we're happy to announce to you that work on the next set of new cards has already begun. Yes. We're actively working on them now. These new cards:

• Will be fully playable in game
• Will be of a certain quantity
• Will all have art and various abilities
• May or may not contain yaks

As always, we will continue to keep you updated as we're prepared to say more.

Monthly Cup qualifier change - Asian support

This Monthly Cup season, the 2nd qualifier set to take place on October 28th is being moved from its normal 18:00 CEST time to 12:00 CEST. The intentions behind this change are to help cater more to our growing Asian player base while still keeping EU timezones reasonable for both qualifiers. 12:00 CEST is equivalent to 19:00 for areas in Japan and South Korea, for example. We will observe the results of this change and determine afterward if this is how Monthly Cup qualifier structure will remain in the future. Those who are already signed up for this qualifier will receive an email explaining the timezone change, To be very clear, this means that each qualifier this month will start at a different time.

• Monthly Cup XVI Qualifier #1
  • Saturday, October 21st, 18:00 CEST
  • Catered to EU / NA timezones
  • 17:00 CEST Check ins start
• Monthly Cup XVI Qualifier #2
  • Saturday October 28th, 12:00 Noon CEST
  • Catered to EU / Asia timezones
  • 11:00 CEST Check ins start

We hope this change will provide more flexibility for those who wish to participate in these qualifying tournaments. Please ensure that you compete in next Saturday's qualifier if you can only make it at the normal time!
