Background: Friday playtest night had just wrapped the first season, with the champion and exhibition match still fresh in the community’s mind. As season two opened, organizers first had to decide who would name its new ranks.
Today: The Friday playtest night opened season two as usual. The team did not set the new rank names itself; it put them to a community vote, giving players a hand in shaping the language of competition while they continued to play.
Impact and next: The season now begins with one decision shared with players, moving naming authority, for the moment, from the organizers to the community. Which names will win, and whether players embrace them, depends on the vote still to come.
