00:30Our next update coming this spring includes tournaments, an all-new feature that allows our players to create and run
00:36their own tournaments in-game.
00:38We ran a short beta of the feature for PC players last month, so some of you may have already
00:42gotten a peek.
00:43Now we want to give everyone a closer look at the feature by running our own small tournament inside the
00:48studio.
00:52Our main goal when designing tournaments was to make it as easy as possible for anybody to organize and participate
00:58in a tournament from within the game.
01:01We've streamlined the process to keep you out of menus and actively competing.
01:06To give a preview of the feature, we've set up an official Psyonix 2v2 tournament.
01:11We have eight department teams setting up behind us now, so let's take a closer look at each of those
01:16teams.
01:46Let's see.
01:50Oh my god, you're kidding!
01:54Ha ha, I think that's gonna make it.
02:01Tournaments can be created with the same wide selection of settings that are
02:04available when creating matches in-game. This includes all game modes, mutators,
02:09and arenas. Each tournament will have its own bracket size, series length,
02:16and competitive rank requirements. Now that our tournament is created, other
02:22players can discover it through the in-game browser. Once a player is in the
02:27party with their team, they can register and secure their spot. Once registered,
02:34the in-game integration will notify players about updates to their tournament
02:37and players are matched to servers as soon as the match is ready. While waiting on a
02:43match, players can view the full tournament bracket. And with live updates,
02:48you can also follow the overall progress and even see the match history of rival
02:52teams. For example, we are now down to the semi-finals with our remaining four teams.
03:01And those are the basics of how to use the tournament's feature. And a big congrats
03:05to all the teams that competed in today's tournament.
03:10This update isn't just about tournaments, either. We've got some really cool quality of
03:14life updates coming, too, like item stacking and more ways to search and filter your inventory.
03:19We're also adding information about your connection to our servers. You'll now see
03:22notifications if you're experiencing packet loss or other common network problems to
03:26help you better diagnose issues. We're also turning on in-game music so you can
03:30listen to your favorite songs from the soundtrack while training or even playing online.
03:33And last but not least, we're rolling out a new chat band feature. And you'll get
03:37notifications any time a player you reported gets banned to see now the system's working.
03:42These are just some of the features we're working on for the next update, and we hope you enjoy them.
03:51As you can see, the next update will have a lot for players to try out. We hope this video
03:56gave you
03:56a closer look at the new feature, and we look forward to all the tournaments created when the update goes
04:01live.
04:09And like, Taco Boost will give you like a hundred extra boost.
04:15What are you guys doing? Go make games!
04:21So, we're going to make rocket league into that.
