We just posted a little update on what the studio is working at the moment (here), and with this announcement we'd like to highlight one of the events described there: the upcoming Beta Lunar Tournament scheduled for January 28-29:

This tournament will already utilise the updated matchmaking system. This system may be tweaked during the ongoing tournaments, live. The system is changing to matching players based on the number of sessions won/lost in the current tournament.
GENERAL RULES FOR ALL TOURNAMENTS
During these tournaments, regular rating points will be frozen for all the players. Your tournament sessions will not affect your regular rating.
Players get tournament points for the first 5 sessions played in the tournament. Any subsequent sessions won't give any points.
Bonus points: in addition to tournament points that players score for their place (1st, 2nd, etc.), there will be bonus tournament points awarded to the 1st player, equal to the lead in score that this player has from the 2nd place (1 score = 1 point).
Attention: during all tournament sessions, instead of regular and seasonal chests, only the special limited tournament chests (:Holy_Grailet:) will drop. As always, the chests are free and do not require any other items/keys to unlock and use/trade.
PRIZE FUND:
Awarded: Top 10 players on each of the servers.

In the case when at the end of the tournament two or more players will have equal number of tournament points, they will share the same (highest) place and get the same rewards. However, the award list will not be extended, and we will still award only the top 10 players on each server.
