Developer Roadmap
Strategic.GG is evolving. These are longer-term ideas under exploration for the Chess-WoW Arena Portal, not features currently in development or release commitments:
-
⚡
Matchmaking & Source Ratings Automated queues with source-attributed chess and game records shown as separate facts. Strategic.GG will not hide them inside an opaque cross-game Elo/MMR.
-
⚡
Advanced Draft Formats & Points Systems Dynamic class/spec pick & ban phases for the WoW Arena stage, integrated with custom point systems where bullet chess or fighting game outcomes directly impact draft priority, bans, and composition rules.
-
⚡
Tournament Brackets & Team Management Native support for multi-team tournaments and double-elimination brackets, allowing structured gaming groups and guilds to schedule and track matches over extended seasonal timeframes.
