Hello Players,
Some of the most awaited updates such as PvP, Leagues are now available in Early Access. A big round of applause to the Early Access community for their valuable feedback on PvP feature during Beta.

[h3]New Features[/h3]
Expert League: Players will be competing against those who are of the same level & will be rewarded upon winning the match. Initially every user will be starting with a Fanbase of 15000 & compete against each other. Upon completion of the match, a certain amount of the "Fanbase" will be deducted from the loser and added to the "Fanbase" of the winner.

• Match Frequency: 1 match/day
  
• Match Configuration: 10 overs with 3 wickets, Bat Shield: OFF, Bowling Level: Medium to start increases as you win
  
• Match-making: Two players having almost the same Fanbase will be matched together. As we progress, changes will be made to the match-making process.
  

Beginners League: This is similar to "Expert League" with a few changes such as the player will be starting with a "Fanbase" of 1500 instead of 15000. And, the match will be played with Bat Shield: 50%, Bowling Level: Easy.
