Underhollow:
- Added a ban phase. Each team can nominate one hero that is guaranteed to be banned.
- Heroes now incrementally load during the pick phase. This should help reduce cases in which low-spec machines timeout and disconnect while loading.

An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include:

• Added tournament/community medals for HLMixes, Hydro.tf, Ready Steady Pan Season 4, and Blapature
  
• Tweaked Competitive Mode MMR calculations
  
  • MMR mobility increased somewhat across the board
    
  • Players who have high game counts relative to the rest of the player base should see fewer adjustments of 1 or 0 MMR
• Updated pl_enclosure_final to fix a displacement hole in stage two
  
• Updated Test Run items such that the discount is not valid if the item is already on sale in the Mann Co. Store
  
• Updated the models for The Frontier Djustice, The Rotation Sensation, and the Elf Esteem to fix display problems with unusual effects
  
• Fixed some currencies not properly calculating the Test Run discount, which prevented being able to purchase the item
  
• Updated the localization files

We are processing all matches again and will be correcting the rank gains and losses throughout the day. Medals will be appear as undefined for a bit during this process.

- Zeus’s Nimbus particle effect now always shows properly if you can see parts of the affected area, rather than needing to see the center of it.
