So I am thinking kinda like exodus or sprint, but with 8 players. Everyone getting their own zones. For the weekly battles, every player is matched with a random other player. In order to prepare for it, the game tells you, who you're gonna face next, at the beginning of the game and after each weekly battle. So you'll know which hero you're gonna face.

In my idea, it isn't with victory points, but players get eliminated by the weekly battles until there is only 1 player left. I think there could be multiple ways to handle the elimination:

1. Every player that loses a weekly battle is eliminated, effectively ending the match after 3 battles as the number of players halves with each weekly battle.

Pros: Games are fast because they always end after 3 battles.

Cons: Heroes that take a bit more time to get going are going to have a really difficult time because one lose is already the end.

Alternatively:

2. Every player that loses two weekly battles is eliminated.

Pros: Slower heroes have a better chance.

Cons: Will take longer to play, because there are more weekly battles.

In order to mitigate the cons of this a bit, the days between weekly battles could be reduced. Currently the "weekly battles are not actually every 7 days, but a bit more, so currently the final battle happens at the end of the first month. In this format, weekly battles could always happen at the end of day 1 of each week (except week 1).
