Drysc made a quick post today concerning how a team will be
considered eligible for the end of season arena awards.

“While the date
for the end of Season 2 has not yet been announced, we wanted to let everyone
know beforehand about a change to the requirements for a team to be counted
towards the total teams considered for the end of season rewards.



Our goal with this change is to remove teams from being
counted that could not already be eligible for the end of season rewards. By
not counting them we’re effectively limiting the pool of teams that are added
up before calculating the final 0.5% for the end of season rewards.



The requirements for a team to be counted (both requirements
must be met):

• The team must have
  played at least 20 games during the season.


• The team must have at
  least one player that has played in 20% or more of the total games for
  that team.

As the requirement to be eligible for the
end of season rewards is also 20% participation for the entire season, this
overlap merely ensures that teams that have active and eligible members will be
counted.”

For teams that have been active this really doesn’t concern them,
however it does severely limit the number of teams calculated towards the total
number of players for each battlegroup. In the case of Reckoning, gladiator
titles would have been awarded to the top 165 teams for 2v2, top 80 for 3v3,
and top 40 for 5v5.

If
that many teams achieved the rank of gladiator, well it sure wouldn’t mean all
that much. Certainly this puts a lot more pressure on teams that were on the
bubble. In addition, reducing the number of teams that gain the gladiator title
will further add to the prestige of the title.
