gotta say, so far the event is an 'f' for failure to advertise. On my s1 server. only 25 people even managed a vote! the registration window is way too small. I managed to set a lineup mostly by accident, but then missed all the fights after. The fights happen at a weird time window, unrelated to server reset. The event is hidden unless you know to click the ''competitive' tab.. You didn't (apparently) incentivize your content creators to talk it up, since you didn't spend any effort on that. It's shame. a lot of effort went into setting it up, that's clear. But most people had no chance at the rewards. Finally, because of the tight time windows, the event is too intense, and seemingly required players to be online 24/7. Very unfriendly.

I second that. I spend my 15 "coins" to get gear and upgrades but werent aware that I had to do anything else? I just spend 10 min looking through the event trying to see my fights unable to find a fight. 32 people registered i think or 32 got ranked. But zero fights from me. This is really bad and annoying 🙁

(to be clear, i am the champ of the first Blade Event of my server) tbh i have no idea what you talking about.. you don't have to set up your teams for every fight.. i didn't change my teams once after i used my tokens for new champs.. and still won lol
you don't have to be online 24/7 AT ALL.. the only team you could/should be online for the fights is at saturday to place your guessings.. not knowing about this i missed almost all of them myself.. but this is a mistake on my end.. not dragonheir
this event is really fun and nice done.. i really don't get it
and there is even a time table that tells you when you have to do something.. which is kinda like once a day lol
why is it someone elses fault if you didn't read everything or/and didn't got as lucky? next week you will do better

I progressed from first round

You dont have to edit your teams, you simple lost in swiss round and have difficulty navigating the screen that's all

I think this is really great event. It's f2p, so anyone can win and the rewards are quite good too, so I really like this design and event. Much more entertaining for me than the normal arena.
But to be fair, there could be few improvements.

The ranking window in Points Tournament tab could be similar to Temporal Vortex - showing first 3-4 ranked players, so it is bit more intuitive to click on it. And also this ranking window should be maintained through the other tabs - Swiss and Knockout and updated so you can see who has advanced and who hasn't. When I wanted to see others it was a bit annoying to always go to the Point Tournament window.

For the Knockout stage, I would really like to see the times, when each match happens, because I had to check a lot to see when the match is happening. At first I thought it would happen a bit after 7:00, but then it actually started at like 13:00? Also for guessing period and fighting period, each is 15min, so overall 2,5 hours. I am not sure if it would make more sense to spread it and make guessing periods longer and fights shorter, but it's a bit weird to do this every half hour. And also they could do some overall guess like try to predict champion from 32 with higher return.
-
Also not sure what happened to replays, but while I could have seen fights in the Point Tournament, I couldn't access them in Swiss and Knockout. I would assume this is an error, but it would be nice to have it, so you can see the fight.

The point 3 actually makes me wonder, if you could see live fights, either yours or just spectate the knockouts. I think that would be quite fun to watch it with others live.
