“It’s a light patch this time around,” but replay sharing and Pick’Ems make it a must‑read for competitive fans.
1. Replay Friend Sharing – Finally Here
“Replays are now accessible through your friends’ list!”
Why this matters: You can now review your duo’s clutch rounds, analyze mistakes together, or just watch a friend’s insane ace without needing them to send a file. A massive quality‑of‑life win for coaching and community.
2. Masters London Pick’Ems – Predict and Win
Pick’Ems are available in‑client and on the web. Even casual viewers can earn a title just for playing – no perfect predictions required.
3. New Skirmish Maps – D & E
Two new Skirmish maps join the rotation for both 1v1 and 2v2 modes. Both feature ramps for more peek angle variety.
Additionally, all selectable agents in Skirmish: Ascension are now available even if you haven’t unlocked them – no more being locked out of certain agents in the mode.
4. Bug Fixes Highlights

5. Premier Schedule Adjustments (PC Only)
The playoffs schedule for V26A3 Contender and Invite divisions has been confirmed:
- First round of playoffs: June 20
- Teams that advance: Return on June 21 for the next matchup
Check the client for zone‑specific start times.
6. Console Only – Store Fix

7. Summary – Key Changes
8. BuyCarry Team’s Take
Patch 12.10 is light on balance changes but heavy on features that improve the competitive experience. Replay sharing is a game‑changer for coaching and community clip sharing. Pick’Ems add a fun layer to watching Masters London.
What we love:
- Replay friend sharing – finally, no more requesting files or awkward screen shares.
- All Skirmish agents unlocked – removes a weird restriction that made the mode less accessible.
- Pick’Ems – even if you don’t watch pro play, a free title is a free title.
