Battlefront Competitive

Hello everyone, the sign ups are now officially open for a Hero Showdown test tournament on SWBFEA2 for PS4. This tournament will use queue sniping (searching for a match at the same time as your opponent) to have teams play each other. We are aiming to make this tournament a one day event on Saturday June 2nd, if you sign up, expect to play all of your matches on this day. Matches will begin at 2pm eastern time. If the bracket is large enough or takes too long, we will aim to complete the remaining matches on Sunday June 3rd.

You can sign up by posting in this thread and filling out this info:

There will currently be a prize of $30 for the winning team, $15 for each player. This prize pool may increase with donations.

Teams require 2 players in order to sign up. Team sizes may not be larger than two players, but you can change your two player roster by editing your signup post anytime from now up until midnight eastern time on Friday June 1st. You may also make a new post with an updated roster if you are unable to edit your previous one.

All matches will be played on the US, Virginia server region by default. The tournament will have a double elimination bracket format with random maps.

I want to emphasize that this is a test tournament, it will not be as easy to get matches done as it is on the previous Battlefront games. Please bring low expectations and lots of patience when it comes to queue sniping your opponent for the match. It will mostly likely require voice communication between you and your opponent to search for your match at the same time. This is basically a final option for being able to play the game as DICE haven't added private servers.

If you guys could please link your friends / teammates / rivals to this sign up thread, that would be greatly appreciated. (You can copy and paste from the PS4 browser into PSN messages).

Today our official twitter account, @TheSWBFC, tweeted out to Dennis Brännvall (Design Director for Battlefront II) regarding the addition of Private Matches to the game. Obviously this isn't as clear cut of a response as we'd like, we would have preferred a direct "yes" or "no", but this response feels like they are listening and could be a sign of good things to come.


We will continue to reach out to developers to obtain a concrete response. Until then it's basically a waiting game, so I encourage all of you to tweet/post/do anything to get their attention regarding the addition of Private Matches. They are paying attention. Now that Dennis is allowed to communicate it's only a matter of time until we get more information. I, for one, cannot wait until this addition so we can get some tournaments going again. Fingers crossed.
