Testing Period

​

Hello CTFers,

As some of you guys know, we tested some class tweaks during two Beta Test PPMs, and we would like to thank everyone that gave us feedback about those changes. To see even more how the tweaks are impacting the game, we are going to test all of them on casual CTF, but also on the match servers, and this for a period of two weeks. The testing period is starting today and will last until Sunday, January 10!

We also implemented a command to revert the match server for official matches.
