Hello, I noticed that 1v1 ladder is currently not in the best condition in terms of player activity
Is it possible to bring back notification that a player of my rating is currently looking for an opponent? Just like what we had in python FAF. I think this will encourage players to play ladder more often

Introduction

Hello and welcome to the “Blind” tournament, which will determine the best team of experienced players who can navigate difficult and unusual conditions in 3 vs 3 battle!

Tournament Format
3 vs 3 tournament will be played only on mapgens with "Unexplored" generation type and Strogo`s "No Vision" balance mod developed special for this tourney that changes the viewing radius and lifetime of air units!
All games are BO1;
With loosers bracket;
With Full Share.

Short description
The "Unexplored" generation type of mapgen hides the entire map in the fog of war, which you need to first explore to see things like:
​-map relief
-location of extractors and reclaim

At the beginning you can only see the location of your allies and enemies.

The "No Vision" mod reduces the lifetime of T1 scouts and the overall visibility radius of air units, also it increases the cost of mobile and stationary stealth generators.
The exact details for setting up the mod are written in the rules.
T3 Omni radar are blocked!

All this will significantly reduce the visibility of enemies, which will allow you to come up with new impressive tactics for games, especially at the beginning!

Hi everyone, I want to make a big video about the history of FAF to attract new players and volunteers to the community (in Russian).

If you don't mind, I want to ask you a couple of questions, you can answer them at your convenience, as far as you know about each question.

Absolutely anyone who knows anything and is willing to participate can answer!

1. What do you know about GPGNet? How long was it online, how did it work, maybe was there Vanilla to play there or only FA, ​​and why did it close?
2. As far as I remember, Ze_Pil0t started developing FAF back when GPGNet was working, in what year did it all happen and for what Purpose? Was it already clear then that the official platform would soon close?
3. How is FAF structured? How does it work, how is its architecture structured (in simple terms).
4. Who stood at the origins of FAF besides Ze_Pil0t? How quickly did the community form, what were the tasks and how were they distributed?
5. Why Ze_Pil0t, and in general many people were in the community of origins? And who got the "rights" to FAF? Who are they supporting now?
6. How was the FAF consortium/council formed? Who makes decisions and how?
7. Tell us about the community, players, modders, map creators, etc. What opportunities does FAF have for them?
8. Name the main achievements of FAF in your opinion
9. Also, the main difficulties and problems in FAF were named, which of them were overcome?
10. I remember that FAF did not require a link to Steam, why did they do it?
11. How do you think FAF feels now? What is better and what is worse than it was before? What is missing?
12. Tell us specifically about your experience in FAF, what do you do/did you do?
13. You can add anything from yourself, the more the better!

I mean, last year was probably one of the worst years for FAF in terms of Internet connection stability. and now the situation is only getting worse, I tried to hold several tournaments and in each of them I encountered huge problems with the connection, the last tournament had to be postponed by 20 days. Can you at least somehow justify what is happening? We are losing players, online is decreasing, we need to do something with that, at least just explain what the problem is please.

Yes, this 100% happens during prime time or during major events, for example my latest tournaments, I receive messages from ddosers on the stream about the faf finally dying and all the players moving to other servers.
