Reflex Roundup
Quiet a lot going on in Reflex-land this weekend, including three tournaments which covered three continents, with participants from a butt-load of countries vying, and ducking it out for the top spot. There was also some updates on the development front, with what appeared to be a serious over-haul of the current level editor, as well as the first whispers of a much anticipate Capture The Flag game-mode.
We'll start with the tournaments, there were three of them, #DP_ONE Europe, #DP_ONE North America, and #Reflex.AU Duel Cup 2.
In what can only be described as shocking result, the Canadian CS:GO Professional, AZK won both the European, and North American events, beating out afghan, and Lunokhod-2 for first place in the European event, and beating out mistergreen, and guyontheinternet for first place in the North American event.
Meanwhile in land down-under, the #Reflex.AU 2 cup was underway, with an interesting round-robin into brackets format, guest featuring game developer newborn. The eventual winner Ultra578 ravaged both stages without a single map loss, defeating CPMA hero Profanium in the grand finals 3-0 (honourable mentions to matt).

Now after all that there were also two developer induced leaks on two fronts, first of all the level editor is getting some serious loving, and in the next update will provide designers the tools to do many of things they've been hoping for, including things like multi-selecting, and rotating items. Some gifs demonstrating the new editor tools in effect:

As these sort of features will be critical for game-modes that require symmetical maps, it looks like Capture The Flag is also on the not so distant horizon, with newborn recently commenting in #Reflex that:
