September System Updates and Improvements



Hello Ballers!

First of all, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to each and every
one of you who continues to enjoy and support FreeStyle 2. Your passion for
the game and your dedication on the court are what keep us going!

This September, we’re excited to share some updates designed to improve your
gameplay experience and bring a fresh spark to the community.
From matchmaking improvements to new Ceremony update, we’ve been
working hard to create an environment where both new and seasoned
players can thrive.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s waiting for you this month:


We know that the quality of matchmaking and fair competition has always
been a key topic among our players. We have continuously reviewed these
issues through surveys, community feedback, and internal data analysis.
Your feedback has always been a valuable reference for us.

As a result, we have decided to separate the Pro and Amateur channels
once again:

> Amateur Channel
→ Maintains Solo Queue auto-matchmaking for beginner and casual players.
→ Provides a fast and accessible gameplay environment without added
burden.

> Pro Channel
→ Enables room creation and team-based matchmaking for experienced
players.
→ Offers higher-quality matches and greater strategic depth.

Preview:


This adjustment is the outcome of our past year of experience,
careful data review, and your valuable insights. Our goal is to provide a
smoother, fairer, and more enjoyable gameplay environment for everyone,
whether you’re just starting out or competing at the highest level.

Another exciting addition this September is the New Ceremony Update.
We know that expressing yourself on the court is just as important as your
performance, and this update gives you fresh ways to celebrate your big plays.

To ensure smoother gameplay balance and fairer matches, a balance
hotfix patch will be implemented through the update on 9/3 (Wed).
