A tournament operations release. Swiss organizers can now correct a misreported result without tearing down every round that follows it, and the rest of the release is a sweep of fixes across event search and event emails.

Changed

Official events arrive. Organizers can ask a publisher or brand to make their event official, and approved events can hand out that organization’s achievements and items right from event setup.
