Any one have any news about BL:2 getting the FFG competitive play (a la X-Wing, Netrunner, SW:LCG, etc) treatment?

No news from me. But if Descent got some Organized Play attention, I can't imagine that a shiny, new, pvp game like BattleLore 2e will not, especially because it could push up sales of core sets I think people may be more inclined to buy a second or third copy if they are playing competitively.
