they didnt show any snow map in the twitch event, which means we will never see them since the battleborn wont lose any territory to some scrub tincans and pleb weebs

as i understand it if you win a game in any mode vs players or AI you earn war assets based on your performance, which you can then contribute into a single territory or split them evenly across all, but never lose them

...what keeps the side with the most players from winning every time?

my guess is that vikings had the most followers, probably because of the show "vikings", and their win in this beta will most likely attract even more followers thus making the problem even more apparent
