Internal testing has been going very smoothly
- Estimating to start public testing (Mavericks only) possibly later this week
- If all goes well, could potentially be released sooner than the end of July
Modern/Wild Summary:
- Modern will always be the two most recent core editions and their child editions:
  - Untamed (Core) & Dice (Child)
  - Chaos Legion (Core) & Rift Watchers (Child)
- Separate DEC reward pools and Leaderboards for both Modern and Wild
- ECR is shared between both formats
- Highest league achieved in either league will determine what chest type you get for the next Season
- End of season rating reset will work like normal and will reset individually for each format

Tournaments:
- Modern/Wild will support actual Modern and Wild tournament formats
  - Meaning reward cards for each core set will begin to be allowed in tournaments once Modern/Wild is released
- Modern/Wild tournaments will continue to have different CP/SPS staking requirements
- Next week the team will have the first Tournament Townhall
  - Community opportunity to provide their feedback to the team on tournaments
- Beginner tournaments are growing very rapidly (last week had over 1000 participants)
- Chaos Legion Only is the most participated series
Brawls:
- First Brawl Townhall ran last Friday in Discord
- Biggest takeaways:
  - Fray distributions are difficult for lower level guilds that may not have a wide variety of Gold Foils or Alpha/Beta cards
  - SPS rewards for participating in Brawls

The new game introduced by Hardpoint last week will support DEC/SPS payments
Splinterlands is trying to build 3 types of ecosystems:
- Music (Warner Music Group)
- Casino
- Sports
More information will be released later in regards to all of this

Modern Collection Power requirements will be halved
- But only Modern cards will count towards the CP requirements
- Gladiator cards also count towards Modern CP
Wild Collection Power requirements will stay the same as they are now
- All cards will count towards CP requirements
All promo cards will give the Ranked battle 10% bonuses

Only 29 days left of the SPS airdrop!
Team should be releasing more information on new Liquidity Pool rewards/incentives & additional SPS rewards shortly for after the airdrop

Information on ticket prices and event details should be released soon for the community
Reminder, Splinterfest will be hosted at the HyperX Arena in the Luxor, in Las Vegas
Goal is to have tickets purchasble in both fiat and SPS

New Ranked Reward updates coming Tuesday, June 28th
The updates include changes to:
- Daily focus chests awarded against current league as opposed to highest league from past season.
- Changes to RShares formula when using starter cards
- A glimpse into future changes that touch on new daily focuses, daily focus mechanic updates and season rentals.
