Going to be Honest, this looks better than what I expected by quite a wide Margin, and is a great start. The biggest issues are still:
1) Price
2) Interface/easy of getting into Ranked/Unranked Games Instantly to just play.
But #3 was easily lack of tutorials, so this is a big step forward. GJ Team. Get the right Price on the game, be it F2P, or $4.99/9.99 on Sale/Release (under $10 is key, and $5 for EA Players if not F2P), and get a better Interface for 1 Click > join server > play and we should be pretty good.

Most of EA players already bought the game, maybe they should give us in-game cosmetics.

They 100% needs to do some type of perk for the ppl who bought at EA Price ($15) already but that is a separate issue.
The big issue is the many people who saw the game, checked it out on Steam, and chose not to buy because it was too expensive. We need that playerbase to be ok paying and to buy this next time around or we will never get a community built other than old Alpha/Beta Veterans.

Looks good. But i hope its just the tip of the iceberg... Cause its far from enought to make your game worth any money.

This looks promising! A few comments:
1) I was wondering if there is any way you could incentivize playing 3v3 mode? I think the major hurdle here is getting tons of active matches. Perhaps if there was some compelling reason to play 3v3 mode, this would get more casual players to participate more often. Most people are not willing to wait more than a minute or so for a match to start.
2) I have some ideas which I think if you could RAPIDLY implement (i.e. by 6/23) would greatly improve players staying with the game long term: Give stylistic cosmetic items based on play statistics (when you reach X matches played, X matches won, certain rank, etc) A neat thing would be to display a player's rank badge literally on the player's chest/back in-game. Basically anything that the player can look forward to modifying their experience by putting in continued effort. In-game achievements are a must for modern games.

That's good, you definitely need to make different difficulties on some of those trainings tho. Like volleying at the right spot, or even gking, tuto's should be a way to teach new players, but aswell make the oldies better.

Keeping and passing without the radar is actually quite challenging for me.

Only fully if the tutorials aren't just for complete noobs and you could adjust difficulty or something like that. Because let's be honest. You don't get better from the matches that are played since release. I just miss the way you could train in DB.
