Currently, in update 2.1 Egzekiel has made a nerf to some skips in the game, he has changed slopes to 85. This causes the climb to Green skip to be significantly more difficult compared to update 2, this means getting the same speeds in 2.1 as update 2 is nearly impossible. Along with this Cyan rail skip has been made harder as well, although Egzekiel has not said what he did. Another problem is the warning message for picking up the emeralds in PvP has broke and no longer displays on screen.
I don't think we need to archive the current category, you're right the games runs currently should be just for fun since they wont be staying around for long. I think when the game has finished it's map much later on in update 3 or onward it should be taken a bit more seriously. Another thing, Yuma messaged you in your dms, just wanted to let you know incase you missed it.
