Marketing team is working on a tournament series that is being sponsored with Alliestrasza and Masongos (big Hearthstone streamer)
- Started off as a paid promotion between Allie & Splinterlands
- They liked the game so much, they have continued playing and investing into the game individually
Splinterfest tickets are still on-sale
- Can buy with SPS in-game, or with fiat directly from EventBrite
- Large prizes going to be given out for the two tournaments that will be hosted live at the event
- Bunch of Splinterlands swag available during the event too
- There should be around 50-70 Splinterlands team members attending
Aggroed will be doing an AMA with Huobi Exchange at 7AM EDT, Wednesday, August 31st

- Huobi Telegram Announcement

Won't be a traditional card game where you build your lineup and it auto-battles for you
- There will probably be a multi-step process when competing with others

Creative team is finally putting to bed the final assets for RiftWatchers
- Artwork, icons, animations, lore

New website has been created - https://splinterlands.tv/

  This Weeks Streamer Spotlights

SPS rewards need to be claimed in order to limit the stress on the system
- New changes allow players to claim once every 24 hours
Team is looking to influence players to continue to climb up to higher tiers to earn higher rewards
- Check out the first SPS Proposal!
- Team thinks that bots should still be allowed to earn, but not as much as those climbing up to higher leagues

Pack sales can be bought in DEC and will give a $3 discount if a Voucher is used
Porbably will see new announcements every week in regards to the Tower Defense game from now to October
Teams intentions will be to allow Splinterlands cards to be staked to Towers in order to increase the Tower stats

The proposal is to split out the ranked battle reward pools for both modern and wild formats by league, similar to the way that the loot chest reward pools for SPS are split by league
The Splinterlands team believes that this change will help properly align the incentives with the goals of long term growth for the game and the assets, but it is ultimately up to the community of staked SPS token holders to decide
More details about the proposed change can be found by clicking on the proposal title to view the full proposal post on the Hive blockchain
