Season 3 of Legends of Heroes League has started.

The first change is, as you see, new administration. Me (Malekith) and Klimsonbless will try to fulfill our new duties to bring back old grandeur of the league. Unfortunately, Uzza doesn't have time to administrate, although he will still support us technically, for what we would like to thank him.

Next change is new map scoring system. From now, it looks like that:

   40% - arena maps
   100% - M-sized maps, unlisted maps
   150% - L-sized maps
   200% - XL-sized maps

If random was played with underground, amount of points gained for game is multipled by 1,3 (e.g. XL+U gives 260%). Point bonus for maps of the month was also changed.

New tournament starts soon. Details are on the tournament's page.

On every month, one (strong) player will be chosen as The Guardian - for two victories in a row vs. that person, the winner will gain (as a bonus) triple amount of points for those games.

Finals of Pro League of Season 2 were won by Tiamath - we congratulate him and wish consecutive successes. Razer gained the second place, Dawidu91 the third one and Smok the fourth one.
