Blood & Nectar Patch Notes

Patch 0.59The Olympiad

July 5–13, 2026

The first real competitive season, wired end to end. A two-week tournament cycle with a live prize pool that grows as more people play, an additive points ladder, a bracket that draws its own image, a full champion-and-artifact draft, and a payout you can actually claim. This is the game asking to be taken seriously.

Full Patch Notes

Built the whole Olympiad end to end: a two-week cycle, additive season points, and a prize pool that scales with turnout.
Added the draft mode — open-challenge entry, a ready-check, a 3×3 champion-and-kit draft, and a timer, authenticated into the arena.
Posted a self-drawing bracket image and a Rankings panel with paginated standings to the arena channel.
Wired real payouts: a 14-day claim window and a crypto option, with honest "up to $X" prize framing and disclaimer bubbles in the Atlas and the Olympiad panel.
Hardened the arena hand-off (ngrok-guarded viewer base) so tournament launches stopped erroring mid-handoff.
