I do plan to host a tournament in a few weeks/months, after most of the actual PvP player base has learned Russians and ostheer. It'd be done just like VCoH tournaments, with players doing fixed position 500 VP matches switching factions, in rounds of best of 3, while the finals would be best of 5. That's the general one I'd host though, as that's what you came to EF more than likely to do, is to play as the new factions, so why would I not have you play said factions I the tournament. I have nothing against Amer. Vs. OH. or SU vs. PE, for example. It's just if I wanted to play as the VCoH factions or OF factions I don't need the mod for that. We have another patch that's going to be released in a few, fixing bugs and some text issues, and a while after that we should be holding our first tournament for the open beta. At least, that's what I'm hoping. IDK what the rest of the balance team or dev team planned on.
Also I do have some strategy's in the work for Russians ATM. I'm still thinking of strats for Ostheer, but I'd have those and general build orders prepared by the time the tournament began, to help out players trying to find a good synergy with their units and their composition.
