2XKO spotlights two upcoming competitions: the Challenger event First Attack in Puerto Rico and the Major Evo France in Nice. The Weekend Warmup describes both events as approaching soon.
2XKO's Lux developers discuss building Lux, the Lady of Luminosity, for the game in a Weekend Warmup tied to patch 1.3.1. The piece also notes that the team is monitoring the meta and the game's new shape after the patch's release.
Riot Games says the 2XKO team uses pre-release playtests to identify ways to improve the game. The sessions include developers, event attendees, experienced players, and people who have never played a fighting game, giving the team feedback from a range of participants.
The 2XKO team says it is finishing patch 1.3.1, scheduled to arrive September 8. It offers an early look at the update, which adjusts many aspects of the game as the team sets it up for the long term.
