Hi all
I wanted to come back and play some BB. I've always thought that arranging matchups was extremely broken, cherry picking etc.
I was ofc sad to see Blackbox not being a thing, then I read some forum posts and got my hopes up.
So any info on when and if new and improved bb will be a thing?
Any info on any revised matchmaking implementations?
Also merry Christer and stuff.. |

I don't think there are any dates or timetables yet, but as far as I understand the objective is to create a scheduler for the Competitive division. Whether it will come before, during, or after the Competitive division goes to seasons and Ranked and Blackbox get merged into Competitive, I don't know. It's all a big task for a small group of volunteers. Presumably, the Box won't be merged until the scheduler is made, but that's just an educated guess. |

I see it the same way, but don't let it stop you making a team in current [C] division and getting some games, its still worth playing |

Amen to that.
I too am just waiting for the box to get back up on its feet. Until then, Competetive is the way to go |

I don't have ETAs for things involving large amounts of development work any more in an attempt at not creating pressure and stress for myself. To give you an idea, though, the new Blackbox won't be in place before redrafting and season support. It is, however, something I really want to get to sooner rather than later as is reviving major tournaments and the Blackbox Trophy system. |

Yeah it was not meant as strict as i worded it. I was just picking up on fragments of information in various forum replies. I was thinking to myself that it would be nice to have a rough estimate, so thank you for delivering.
I would love to help, but I'm only a learner on my first project and strict c++
It would be cool if the "blackbox" scheduler had so many users that matches could be scheduled every 5 minutes. I guess the system could be made for easy adjustments based on average number of users. |
