Update | Upcoming Tournament Details / Streamers / Changelog — Checkmate Showdown Steam update #466300

It's been over 24 hours since we launched Checkmate Showdown and we already have some news for you! Official Checkmate Showdown Tournament The 1st official Checkmate Showdown Tournament will be held in early January 2024 - for ranked players only. How it works The top 128 players will receive an invitation to our first official tournament with a prizepool of 1000$. You read that right - ONE. THOUSAND. DOLLARS. With a prizepool this big, this makes us one of the biggest indie fighting game tournaments ever. We have a two week buffer or "pre-season" for ranked meaning you have two weeks to lab and try stuff out to get a sense of the gameplay. Then, as of Dec 1st, leaderboards will be reset and the race to qualify for top 128 commences. We'll have a proper loser's bracket meaning we'll have 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes. We're curious to know: How would you like to see the prizepool divided...
