TM vs SS Veto Lost
Just dropping a note here for anyone that had Tarren Mill vs Southshore vetoed (unchecked) when the realms came down for maintenance this week, you may have noticed that you now only have 1 battleground deselected, because the now invisible TM vs SS battleground is still technically unchecked.
It’s a bug we’re aware of, in the meantime you can fix this yourself by entering the following in chat:
