A Ladder? Why now?
We’ve been working with Battlefy since 2014 to bring a lot of our events to life, and Battlefy has recently been developing their own ladder system. This feature is still in an Alpha state and Battlefy needs all the help possible to both test it out and gather data on how teams use and interact with it.
Since there is now a small break after Season 2 and leading into Season 3, our match_finder channels on discord are still as active as ever, and we’re announcing the arrival of ESB Points, we have decided to launch a 5v5 Domination Ladder on PlayStation 4 for the European region. However, don’t worry, are you in another region or platform and would still like to participate? Please fill out the form below, and if we gather enough interest for specific regions/platforms we’ll host ladders there as well in the coming weeks.
