I don't know. To be honest this doesn't feel like a faction challenge at all to me. Plus, locked in a faction doesn't serve much of a purpose since the progress bar was gone in the last faction anyway.
At least with the previous ones you all shared a common goal, to accumulate the most wins for your faction. Now it's far more self centered, you play for yourself and for the rewards you will gain individually. It doesn't feel like a faction challenge, more of just a "challenge"
I don't mind losing one special border. Besides, even the way it is designed now you can't get them both. Those were just complaints from entitled people.
Other than that, I think I will qualify for the Commando Leader title soon
