Competitive
Anything to do with participation itself
Playing
This one is obvious. The more you plan, and perhaps at more important times, the better.
Running tournaments
We already have a self-service Tournaments system to make your life easier.
Running clans
Clans are essential to the well being of a game. They participate in tournaments.
Promotional
Facing the external world.
Videos
YouTube & Twitch! See some Videos.
Advertising
This is crucial! Sharing in forums, with friends.
Documentation
Make the game easy to understand in this documentation. Watch the GitHub Repository or edit on GitBook.
