October 15 patch: Vigrid Avenge comes to Guild League, Juperos Ruins is rebuilt and Halloween hits the calendar
Guild League gets Vigrid Avenge, expected on 19/10 — the same map as the third stage of the Tyr Cup. Juperos Ruins comes back rebuilt with Normal and Speedrun modes, Dimension Drill opens a new season, the Guild Auction starts selling a new fragment that buys nine new purple cards, and Halloween fills the end of October.

Our take
Vigrid Avenge has been running for months on the Asian server — another server, with its own patches. Three fixes it got after its launch there are worth knowing:
Over there it ended up as one of three rotating Guild League maps, alongside Stellar Clash and Vale of Clash.
Juperos Ruins comes from Asia too, and over there it had a second step. The rebuilt version opened on 17/08 and, a week later, its bosses were swapped for Sylph and Gnome, Lords of Wind and Earth.
If the Global keeps that order, the boss swap would land around 26/10 — a guess from the order, not an announcement.
One thing the English announcement does not say: the Portuguese version adds that this update restarts the league, with every guild going back to the local server league and placed by the historical Power of its top 20. It is the same sentence the Asian server published when it launched the mode.
The English and Spanish versions only mention the 26/10 re-ranking, so that is the part all three agree on.
