Heavy vs. Pyro
Announced with the Meet Your Match Update was the Heavy vs. Pyro war. As mentioned on Page 2 of the update, Heavy and Pyro were fighting for a class pack update in the future, with rebalances, new weapons, achievements, and more. However, classes were not fighting for an update overall, but for who would receive it first. Upon launching the game after the July 7th, 2016 Patch, players were able to pick a side in the main menu. Scoring points as any class in either Casual Mode or Competitive Mode granted the side that players picked points which would count towards a vote. The event ran from July 7th, till August 14th 11:59 PM.
The race was tight, however mostly one-sided since Pyro received 56% of the votes and Heavy received 44%. Pyro as a reward, will receive a class update in the future, alongside Heavy later on.
