I think the idea of tournament play is interesting to everyone, and offers a change of pace and increased strategy when playing. I don’t think tournament style play should be solely restricted to high level players and while the game is still new and it understandably doesn’t have a large competitive scene yet, community tournaments with little or even no prize pool, but simply just for the experience would be interesting to me. This is possibly something that could be implemented directly into the game after ranked is fine tuned. Allowing players to sign up for community tournaments directly in the game, as if it was a separate queue type. They could be divided based on your ranked ELO once that game mode is released, enabling a fair playing field and giving people of different skill levels an opportunity to experience this type of play. Your tournament skill level could also be considered and give/subtract tournament points allowing you to enter higher skilled contests.
