Ballistix, and their former Crucial Cup, have been one of the only tournament hosts who have featured Battlefield, an esport which boasts one of the largest and most active communities. Battlefield has fallen off the competitive radar both locally and internationally, but the Ballistix Masters will keep it alive!

Battlefield 4 … who the fuck is still playing this?
“Battlefield has fallen off the competitive radar both locally and internationally, but the Ballistix Masters will keep it alive!”
Prize pool could rather go to another game or even a possible console title.
What a waste.
