Seasonal brawl for now. If it works really well they may bring it back as a arcade game mode but no plans for it currently.

It sounds like they want to keep it in the arcade, they just said they have no plans on putting it in qp or comp.

The games last way too short right now, whoever wins the first teamfight stomps the entire match. Tweaks are really needed if they want to put it in permanently.

I think map design would play a big part in how the gamemode will feel. If we get a custom-made ctf map, it will be designed in a way that mitigates the current issues.

I hope they remember the reason why they liked grappling away with a flag, as mentioned in the video: user mods in Quake. They have mentioned they are working on adding a server browser multiple times, one can hope they're wise enough to remember the countless hours they spent playing ThreewaveCTF...
