I got another Warhammer 40k inspired idea!
What about holding seasonal CN/CS bloodtrials?
It would be like putting all the contenders in a free for all arena and seeing the last one standing, and then getting a pug with the champion commanding one team? After that, we end the challenge with a recruit vs CN/CS battlemaster?
I think its a great and fun event that could be also streamed for additional lulz and as an alternative way of fresh blood.
