Nope, it still is 8.10
Only after it has been 2 weeks of a new patch(except the map changes), the vct teams play on it... 4 weeks for a map change

correct me if i am wrong but i think the wait time for a patch is 2 weeks and for a new map its 4 weeks(1 month)

Good idea, I also had an idea where the coaches could talk to their team throughout the whole map to see how good they really are in terms of calling the shots

I think you can go to battlefy and see the upcoming tournament details... And just see if the registration is open.

I am just guessing though since I have never myself joined
