Today’s patch is focused exclusively on addressing player reported issues with the Empire Wars maps created for the Red Bull Wololo: El Reinado ladder. For fixes related to anything else, please keep an eye on future updates!

We’ve been really excited to partner with Red Bull in taking this step and trying to provide new and exciting opportunities for our community to enjoy competitive play, and we want to make sure that players attempting to qualify for the Red Bull Wololo main event have the best experience we can provide.

It’s been thrilling to see all of the activity on the ladder, and we can’t wait to see the results when the Ranked Ladder Qualifiers end on July 28th! Wololo!
