The dev team is aware of the Tournament disaster in the community. They are currently reviewing all the feedback and analyzing the results of this update

Thank you very much for your response. I truly hope the developers find the right solution. I’ll reiterate once more what I’ve already said—and the very reason I started this thread! It is simply impossible to climb up the leaderboard. I cannot score more than 4,250 points, and I certainly can’t even begin to imagine how one could reach 5,000! All hope has completely faded.

Hopefully they can maybe acrually do some math so it's not scaled in a way where SP tankers in expert 2 are doing better than average players in grandmaster 1.

Seriously I also think the reduced rewards in certain brackets also stings but not nearly as much as the scaling.

And to be perfectly honest you should have given this crap a thorough review before you ever pushed it out to the players. But I guess you pissed off the shareholders with a bit too much generosity you rushed changes and didn't think much about it. Didn't do any math, just tried to prove you still cared about making short term gains for people who may or may not even play video games, let alone this one. To the detriment of the overall health of the game.
