¶ New Features
-
Team members list
When registering to a Teams tournament, we will now show an "info" icon next to the team's name that will show the list of selected players for that team.
-
Team readiness validation
An "attention" icon is displayed next to the team's name if a team leader hasn't assigned one or more players to their seats, or if one of the team members is offline. To fix the problem, Team Leaders must select the players for the next event and make sure that all team members are online before the tournament starts.
-
Line-up selection UI
Tournament Directors can now set a line-up before a team tournament starts. The line-up arranges the matches according to the order set by the dialog overriding the automatic movement.
-
Search players widget
You can now easily search and follow players through the new Player Search widget, available in the Timeline and in the Friends page. If you follow another player and they follow you back, you become friends and they will show up at the top of the users list.
-
Request additional credits
During the system testing phase, users can ask for more credits using the newly added "request credits" button in the wallet page. You can only ask for more credits in case your balance is less than 12 credits, only once per 24 hours and depending on the total amount of credits available.
-
Widget to control round time
Tournament directors can now extend or reduce the round time or move immediately to the next round.
-
Lobby per team
For team tournaments, the tournament lobby now supports a separate room per team.
