Yep @TeutonicVvarrior, that's intended Standard smile

 

@xMaksuss That was an example for one leaderboard, not that reaching 3700 medals means you earn a reward.

@xMaksuss Yep, that was just an example.  I could see this happening mostly at league minimums and that's why I selected 3700 for the hypothetical question.  I have seen two people for a short time sharing 3rd place so I assumed it would also be possible to share 1st.  Probably won't happen much but I could see this getting abused if everyone in a race agree to bottom out in their league until or right before the race ends.

If all 10 players would come together somehow and agree to end the race with the same medal count it would be awesome x) Rewards for everyone ^^

 

But I think this will happen rarely.

 

If we get a race every month I will drop down some leagues to make the race easier for me next time x) Right now I need to climb to tib league lol

I don't get it. I see no leaderboard, nothing. I was in the top 100 GDI but fell down the rankings when the race started.

It's nothing special. You just play your ladder games normally. But you are on a leaderboard with 10 players of similar medal count. The 3 people with the highest medalcount in 3 days will get a pitbull skin, the top one will also get a sandstorm one.

 

The pitbull skin is kinda ugly. The sandstorm skin looks dope, but I don't use sandstorm anyways.

I wouldn't say ugly, but maybe besides the point. I mean, you put camouflage on a vehicle so that it cannot be spotted by the enemy easily. And then you add distinctive blue colour to it so that everyone can see it from afar... Wink

That's it? Well I guess I didn't miss much, but I still like some healthy competition.

I was hoping this race would start the next season. I would like to try and climb up so high that my opponents are left to eat my dust. I'd probably climb up an entire league just to win. I'd sit in the bottom of Platinum 3, and then boost all the way to Diamond 3, 2, or somewhere in between.
