Meet Your Match Update
“ | Ever since the first apes climbed out of the trees, there were apes who did it faster. Some apes just fell out of the tree. It's a sad fact that all apes are not created equal.
Presenting our newest tree-climbing-down simulator, matchmaking. Play alone or with your friends against players of similar skill levels. Climb out of that tree at your own speed, confident that the apes around you aren't beating you to the bananas. Which technically grow IN trees, but maybe the ripest ones probably fall to the ground? Yeah, that makes sense. Look, this isn't a banana simulator, people. — Meet Your Match publicity blurb

Heavy vs. Pyro
Announced with the Meet Your Match Update was the Heavy vs. Pyro war. As mentioned on Page 2 of the update, Heavy and Pyro were fighting for which class would be the first to receive a class-specific pack in a future update that would bring new rebalances, weapons, achievements and more. Upon launching the game after the July 7th, 2016 Patch, players were able to pick a side in the main menu. Scoring points as any class in either Casual Mode or Competitive Mode would count towards the player's "vote", whose total accumulation represented by a percentage for each side. The event started on July 7th and concluded on August 14th 11:59 PM.
At the conclusion of the event, Team Pyro won with 56% of the total votes while Team Heavy received 44%, thus guaranteeing that the Pyro would receive the first class pack. Over a year later, the Jungle Inferno Update released the new Pyro class pack.
Achievements
Two new achievements were introduced in this update.
