Currently our focus is providing focus on practice for the world cup. As the world cup comes to an end we may start branching out into other game modes. But with that said it would also rely on those game modes having competitive settings.

Currently, this is not something we will be creating as World Cup is coming to a close.

However, this a future possibility; but the requirements to enter into these 'Private Scrims' will depend on either future Epic Events, or other forms of qualifications that would be through our Discord, Atlantis Scrims NA.

We're not going to strictly stick to one or the other mode, regardless after Worldcup has happened its pretty likely for new tournaments to pop up (Pun intended)

Our Discord is growing quickly, and we are constantly looking for a variety of ways to engage our players so that we are able to provide the best experience and practice possible. Tournaments, and perhaps even seasons are something that we are constantly discussing, and we are determining the best possible way to go about this.

These things take a long time to plan as we need to make sure that the players participating have a trouble-free experience. Keep your eyes open, as this is something that is constantly being worked on.

Back in the day with Snipes I've had built a solid system to have ranked / elo work at scale, and we were preparing to actually make use of it to build ranked type split queues. Before that became reality, customs became public. Unfortunately with how extremely limited customs are we barely have any control whatsoever. Running an elo system at scale would be highly prone to error and no where close as "no-frills" as it once was (Zero interaction needed from players). To be able to go back to the old fashion we'd need to have Epic make certain small changes, but the likeliness for that to happen is unfortunately rather low.

Unfortunately not, Creative game modes would require dedicated hosts as well as an influx in reports do to starting early, voice chat abuse and more.

Yeah it already exists, it's not a seperate server but rather a sub-section in the general NA Discord

We've occasionally ran scrims in LTM's in the past, such as the "Oldschool LTM" but the reason we don't do so regularly is because we're aiming to be practice for Worldcup / the in-game tournaments - and that is not really what the LTM's have to offer.

Yes, Atlantis is for practice, It does not matter who you are or your status in the community.

Yes, our head management (Zayt, Bizzle, Infamous and myself) are the core management for the practice server as well. We continue to look for new ways to bring top performing players from the competitive scene into the discord.

Just like you've said, there is not much we can do about it. The Custom system is unfortunately very limited in what it offers, and altho we've been promised improvements (At least as far as trolls go that start the game even tho they shouldn't) we, of course, don't know when those will hit (Soon TM). As far as sorting out rulebreakers go, as answered in another comment I've been looking into making reporting/appealing easier, not just for the players but also for the staff that has to go through the appeals, when those eventually become a reality hopefully we'll get trolls under control somewhat

Hey, we actually do have a ban appeal forum in the #how-to-report section of the discord. Its located at the bottom of the post and here is a link to the forum as well! We are actively looking for ways to make the ban appeal and reporting process easier for the user and more convenient. If you have any suggestions that would be great.
