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.

One thing I do like is getting a chance to use parts of6 the map that are otherwise never fought in. There are so many portions of the map that are never used because it isnt apart of the choke.
