I decided to post in this section of the forum too, as @Magic:PQ Support Team apparently doesn't reply to cries for help in the general part of the forum if one is relaying issues.

Both of the Survivors of the Four Tribes events are a mess! They should stop running this event as long as the opponent is using cards that freeze the game, like Sunken Citadel.

Last week, during part 1, our team suffered 7 (!!) freezes and 2 regular losses. For a top 10 team, that is just a joke. We finished 11th, outside of 10, which was ages ago. If you consider how unstable this event is, ranking and rewards are just a big gamble. The final standings are based on (bad) luck. If you are unlucky and have a lot of freezes, you are screwed.

The devs have done a lot of good things since they took over, but this is utter garbage. All of the top 10 teams are fighting in a highly competitive environment. Losing 70 points outside of our own control is bullsh*t.

Part 2 isn't much better either. Again a Sunken Citadel freeze, another playing starting a match with 12 life after a connection error, which turned out that one of his charges was stolen, count as a loss, and that's why the next match he started with 12 life, which was also lost.

    Hey, @Machine!
    We're focusing on these interactions to solve it soon. SF1, SF2 and LCI will not be offered again until we've dealt with it.
