Good morning/afternoon/evening! In the early AM hours of Monday morning (PT), we’ll be launching our brand new “Community Forge Test” playlist. We’re incredibly excited about it, and we hope all of you check it out and help us test these maps for potential future Matchmaking inclusion. If you want a sneak peek at what you’ll soon be playing, here are the specifics:Included mapsMap: Shutout
