3. 🤔 Unresolved Fundamental Issues and Community Demands
· Matchmaking Improvements: A more balanced matchmaking system is needed for events like EVS, Foundry, and Canyon.

· Introduction of Permanent Competitive Modes: Permanent individual and ranked competitive modes should be introduced so players aren't just waiting between events.
