Notice Regarding Squad Tournament Issue
[p]![]()
[/p][p]Dear CEOs,
First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for the concern caused by the issue that occurred during the progression of Squad Tournament The Worlds Season 3.[/p][p]
[/p][p]During the recently held Elimination Tournament matches of Squad Tournament The Worlds Season 3, we identified an issue where certain Operators’ Command Skills did not activate properly.[/p][p]
[/p][p]We were aware that many CEOs had already noticed and raised concerns regarding this matter. However, we ask for your understanding regarding the delay in this notice, as we wanted to thoroughly verify the exact cause and scope of the issue before providing official clarification.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Upon investigation, we confirmed that certain Command Skills that summon units possessed by specific Operators did not function correctly on the integrated tournament server where matches between Korean and Global server CEOs were conducted.[/p][p]
[/p][p]As a result, while these Command Skills functioned correctly during the preliminary rounds, they failed to activate properly during the Elimination Tournament and subsequent matches.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Considering that this issue may have affected both the tournament results and CEOs’ Prediction outcomes, we have decided to extend the tournament schedule and replay the Elimination Tournament and subsequent matches along with reopening the Prediction event.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Although we considered replaying only the affected rounds, we confirmed that doing so is not feasible under the current system structure. Therefore, the entire Elimination Tournament stage will be replayed. We kindly ask for your understanding.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Previously distributed ranking and Prediction rewards will not be revoked. In addition, rewards from the replayed matches and new Prediction results can be obtained separately.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Please refer to the details below regarding the revised schedule.[/p][p]
[/p][p]▣ Replay of All Elimination Tournament Matches[/p][p]■ Prediction Period[/p]
[/p][p]* Match results for each group can be viewed once the prediction period ends.[/p][p]
[/p][p]■ Knockout Stage Prediction Period[/p]
[/p][p]■ Reward Claim Period[/p]
[/p][p]As a gesture of apology, we will provide the following compensation.[/p][p]
[/p][p]■ Serverwide[/p]
[/p][p]■ The 32 Qualified CEOs[/p]
[/p][p]■ Compensation Available Schedule[/p][p]- Feb. 24, 2026 after the maintenance.[/p][p]
[/p][p]※ Available upon login until Mar. 3, 2026 at 09:59 (UTC-5).
※ Rewards will expire 7 days after being claimed from the mailbox.[/p][p]
[/p][p]As this matter directly impacts the fairness and integrity of the tournament, we determined that it is most appropriate to replay the Elimination Tournament under clear standards and equal conditions, even if it requires additional time.[/p][p]
[/p][p]We once again sincerely apologize to all CEOs who waited patiently, and especially to the 32 finalists who worked hard to advance. We will do our utmost to ensure a more reliable and fair tournament environment moving forward.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you.[/p]
