We'd like to start this off with a sincere Happy Holidays from us to you. The home screen has been Holidayified and will last until the new year. We wish everyone a great holiday season no matter what religion/customs you practice.
The new year will kick off with a balancing patch. Challenge League will start on the 17th December. This Challenge League includes the first live test of Ultra Titan. We'll also be experimenting with some item balancing in this weekend blitz. For more info on the Challenge league, check out the Calendar.
