1. Character color Fixed balance in colors/lighting on characters, so it looks correct everywhere (very close at least), except Pong, which is experimental.
2. Transparent name plates Also top hud.
3. Optimizations Some more optimizations and arena adjustments.
THE IMPOSSIBLE will be updated soon. There will be a free DLC that will surprise many players.. There will be also new voice overs (Chinese and Russian :D, PATCH installed new dictionaries). The update is going to be big and I have some work to do, so I think it will be divided into 1-2 parts.
It is Impossible that the Steam trading cards will be available soon, if sales don't change. In my free time, I will check the reviews and answer them. Thank you for your support, reviews, bugs report.
Ok, let's cut to the chase! Enjoy this presentation, and keep sending us your questions for next week's Q&A session! You can post questions as answers to this message. And don't worry, we also track any question on the Steam forums as well.

The Dominion Series 2021 will feature a circuit that will run throughout the entire year, starting from Year 5 Season 1 to Year 5 Season 4. Each season will be considered a “Stage”, with a total of 4 stages in the program.

The first 3 Stages are made up of 4 Qualifiers tournaments and 1 Major tournament each. For every event, players can win points by placing high enough. At the end of this year, top teams in each region will be invited to the Finals in Stage 4, or Y5S4.
QUALIFIERS
These are online tournaments that are open to everyone (unlimited teams). Each season in Year 5 will have 4 qualifiers, excluding Y5S4. The format will be double elimination brackets, with each match a Best-of-3.
