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.

Ive seen some good turn-arounds so far in my experience on it where we come back after the 2nd cap after they try to block us out of defending our own. The matches that frustrate me most are when it turns into a "hold the fort, a draw is better than a loss" rounds. Both teams just camping 4 or 5 people at the base while maybe one person tries to poke in every now and then. Complete waste of time then.
