​Update 11.3.0     ​

DANCE OFFGet your dancing shoes on! This week, we’re bringing Strike a Pose back, a fresh new Store Update, alongside new Twitch drops, balance changes, and a bunch of bug fixes. See you in the Arena!STORE | MARSHAL METEORIt’s time to pick up your shift and patrol the streets of GALAXY ESTATES with the Marshal Meteor Set. No matter how far, no matter which system you aim for, justice will find its way. Safety beyond the stars.EVENT | STRIKE A POSEThere’s never been a better moment than now to party up with that one friend who won’t stop emoting! That’s right, Strike a Pose is back, this time in Team Deathmatch. Eliminating an opponent will now spawn a small dance floor for you to bust your best moves in the Arena for some extra cash.ESPORTS | TWO SHOWS, ONE SATURDAYCycle 3 gets greedy this Saturday: two broadcasts in one day. AMERICAS plays its Top 8, with a cycle title and real series points on the line. EMEA plays its Top 16, where sixteen teams walk in and eight walk back out. We managed to get a hold of Scotty to hear his quick words of wisdom about the upcoming weekend:“TWO shows in one day!? I’ve blocked out the whole afternoon… and most of June’s!”AMERICAS.Unphased won Cycle 2 and lead the region, so they arrive with everybody’s homework done on them. ENVY are through again, Luminon (prev Team ED) are back after taking 3rd last time out, and Kansas City Pioneers, who missed the Top 8 completely in Cycle 2, are finally back in the running.EMEA.Five Fears still sit top of Europe on 175 points, a full 75 clear of anyone else, and everybody chasing them has to survive the Top 16 first. Europe has already shown what that stage does to a favorite: Cycle 1 champion team Teiko went out and scored nothing!APAC.HIBOO once again won another cycle and knocked KZ from the top spot, who had led the leaderboard since May, off the top of the region by five points. It is 230 to 225 with one cycle to play, and DRG on 200 are close enough to make it a three-way scrap!Then, Cycle 4, the last one of the season. Whoever holds the most points at the end of it takes their region’s golden ticket, a direct invite to The Grand Major 2026, everyone else has to go the long way round! Sign-ups are open in all three regions right now, so this is the last time to ask. Galaxy Estates joins the map pool for it too!Every contestant on those broadcasts started in the Open Qualifiers, taking the same kind of shot anyone can take, including you!
