I hate bumper

uneven wren
#

bumper's streams are some of the funniest streams go watch one if you can

vale pond
#

Bumper is funny as hell

#

Are his streams in korean?

jovial fiber
#

I hate his in game shit

#

But like him outside of it

uneven wren
#

yeah but he has a decent level of english

jovial fiber
#

im37777

uneven wren
#

both his korean/english comms are hillarious

#

and he will respond to english twitch chat

#

in english

jovial fiber
#

O Ok

dapper lantern
#

there you go

little silo
#

What OWL skin should I buy next

dreamy cave
#

71 stuns for mano

#

jfc

solar olive
#

ah thank you

dapper lantern
solar olive
#

wait, nothing for the rest of the month?

dapper lantern
#

The All-Star weekend after stage finals and then that's it until June.

solar olive
#

well shit

dreamy cave
#

whens the all-star matches?

#

is that going to be aired on owl? or a differnt twitch channel?

uneven wren
#

the bot still showing undefined expansion teams 😦

#

oh well

#

maybe we'll get defined logos next season

supple prism
#

the bots owners dont update it anymore

uneven wren
#

rip

supple prism
#

this discord has been looking for a different one i heard

uneven wren
#

i guess that makes sense

#

i haven't seen an official overwatch server

dreamy cave
#

this is the most official OW server ive seen tbh

#

aside from the respective team based ones

#

see u guys tomorrow

echo quest
#

Just saw the match

#

Mano is the best main tank in the world

trim shadow
#

So how do teams split the prize money?

#

Uk the 200k

minor flame
#

this discord the couple of past days has been

#

"lol shock suck titans win"

#

"no fuck you shock is better"

#

and thats all i been getting from this channel for the playoffs

gaunt acorn
#

can you blame them when those are the only 2 teams that pose a threat to each other

minor flame
#

i find it more weird to pick a team when both of them are like the same

#

hyper aggressive

#

individually insane

#

100% smug bm

#

they lost sleepy the weeb so i dont have any more favoritism for shock

#

though i like the meme that super is like

#

the biggest head brain yet the smallest iq

upper niche
#

@trim shadow What do you mean about splitting the prizemoney?

#

From memory it's $200k, $100k, $50/50 for 3rd/4th.

#

wait that doesnt add up

trim shadow
#

The team that wins the stage

#

How does the money get split

#

The 200k

upper niche
#

oh. So it's mandated that 50% of all prizemoney must go directly to the players.

#

However it didn't specify anything about players needing to get an equal share. In Season 1 it was identified that some players had it in their contracts that they got a significant percentage of the bonuses paid to teams. That was stopped mid-season so players on new contracts can't have that kind of thing that would unfairly affect new signings to a team.

trim shadow
#

Is that divided or subtracted?

#

Oh so like yxl’s punishment

#

Even tho chengdu missed playoffs

#

Shannanigans

upper niche
#

I know that some team owners/franchises do pay more than 50% to their players though - but that's a rule as far as the franchise agreement goes.

trim shadow
#

I can imagine bumper gets a large sum of the 200k

upper niche
#

Think back to who the big names were at the start of Season 1 😉

trim shadow
#

Why does nate and the orgs keep the details on how contracts work in the dark

#

Sinatraa..150k

upper niche
#

Most sporting organisations do.

trim shadow
#

Thats the only contract i remember getting leaked

#

And then kariv had a bonus on his contract this year

fleet walrus
#

Are we gonna have a repeat of last stage

minor flame
#

yes

upper niche
#

Ultimately for the owners who have franchises, this is a hobby, the money they put in to it is just pocket money like you and I might spend on ... I dunno, painting miniatures, or mountain biking. To them, players are like that. So a little bonus here and there, meh, they just go "I'm happy to put $3m/year in to this hobby"

trim shadow
#

Yez

#

Will@it be close?

#

Maybe

#

First thing i would do if i was a owl player

#

I would go buy that 20k lamborghini gallardo

upper niche
#

I think there's a clear SFS/VAN up the top, then a block of LAG, NYXL, LDN, DAL who are proving inconsistent.

#

20k for a lambo? What's wrong with it? Also, why would you buy a lambo?

trim shadow
#

Its a like 2006 Model

#

So its cheap

#

Uk milage depreciates value

upper niche
#

Lambos are so boring. THey're like "look, I have a truck for a supercar", and not much else going for it. You want a nice car, you get a McLaren 520S, 720S if you wan powwwwwwwwaaaaah, or an Aston DB9 or something.

trim shadow
#

Now those are expensive

#

Espect the db9

#

Unless the market value rate went down

upper niche
#

I mean if I had a DB9 it would be the V8 Vantage, not like a V10 or V12 Volante or Vanquish.

trim shadow
#

^ man of quality

upper niche
#

Nah. I think it's like AUD160k for a Vantage?

trim shadow
#

V8 vantage or a vanquish

#

Maserati gran turismo and audi r8 the original one of you can get for cheap

#

30k for a gran turismo?

upper niche
#

oof, AUD299k for the 2018 V8 Vantage.

trim shadow
#

And its loud and sexy

#

I doubt any owl players own cars

#

Lets be honest

balmy wolf
#

why would they

upper niche
#

I don't want loud and grunty. I want smooth lines and polished design in my car 😉

trim shadow
#

They dont need to

#

But you can use it in the off season

upper niche
#

Yeah, they live in LA heh

trim shadow
#

Oh yea

fleet walrus
#

I’d be shocked if Vancouver never losses a match 😉

trim shadow
#

California is bullshit when it comes to cars

#

You cant loud pipe a car

balmy wolf
#

i imagine it be best to just save up the money and once you retire, you can be in retirement forever

trim shadow
#

You get a fine for anything small thing

upper niche
#

Most of the OWL players are young. I doubt they're at a point in their life where they're being smart with money.

trim shadow
#

Most players go home to family@ill assume

#

Lul imagine a 18 year old being smart with 50k-300k

#

Aka super and sinatraa

balmy wolf
#

well they do have coaches who are probs helping them actually being smart once their esports career is over

trim shadow
#

were rich we dont need highschool

#

-super

upper niche
#

uhh... 50-k300? There's a pretty big difference there lol.

trim shadow
#

Decay had that 300k bidding war

#

And 50k is the minimum

#

Aka boston

balmy wolf
#

well players have everything covered, so that money is barely touched

upper niche
#

I think salaries will get a real bump when 2/2/2 becomes a thing.

trim shadow
#

They probably spend most of it on games

#

And loot boxes

upper niche
#

Teams will now need that specialist for a role when they know the meta won't be changing constantly that significantly, and they'll have to pay through the nose for it.

balmy wolf
#

wasn't seagull getting payed like around 200k?

trim shadow
#

Salaries will get a bump when home markets come

#

Cause certain places have different cost of living

#

Its bat shit expensive to live in san fransicso

balmy wolf
#

their housing is already payed for tho

trim shadow
#

Not talking about housing

upper niche
#

mmm, 200k would surprise me... he surely wouldn't make that much streaming?

trim shadow
#

Thats food and entertainment

balmy wolf
#

depends on the subs seagulls has

upper niche
#

but perhaps he makes enough streaming to be happy with it.

balmy wolf
#

along with sponsors, and twitch bountys

upper niche
#

Sponsorship is where the real money is.

balmy wolf
#

he got sponsored by ibuypower recently

upper niche
#

If you want to get on the inside of an 'interesting' community, hang around the Twitch/streaming community and stuff like Twitchcon.

#

ah crap. cos I missed the first match which started at 5am and only got to see 1.5 maps of the NYXL/VAN game, I'm 20 OWL token short, and doubt I'll get enough tokens for tomorrow.

slender bison
#

what we have till tomomorow to to buy skin ?

pearl stratus
#

BTW.

#

If you want to know what good coaching gets you, the Shock comms versus Spark show it.

#

When your team, without talking to you, can literally give a play by play of what the other team is going to do, you've coached them insanely well.

#

That's just gross.

vale pond
#

is that exactly what happened?

peak furnace
#

Is the match that just ended on OWL twitch a rerun?

#

I saw the score for this match 2 or 3 hours ago on the OWL app

#

And yet OWL is live

#

And the match just finished

#

And it doesnt say rerun

gaunt acorn
#

@peak furnace rerun, yes

#

the live match ended 3 hours ago

peak furnace
#

Okay, the station doesn't say rerun and 80k people are watching

#

I thought I was in a time vortex

#

Fuck

uneven wren
#

now it's on rerun

#

earlier it was a rebroadcast

slender bison
#

so now we wont gain token right ?

trim shadow
#

Wow that...

#

Ok san fran has done homework

#

Tommorow will@be fire

mint turtle
#

14 hours til last game for some tokens, then on 15th to 16th is all stars weekend @slender bison

slender bison
#

ok thanks

#

i hope i will have enough for mercy skin

supple prism
#

remember, All-Stars will give double tokens

umbral dawn
#

Oh titans vs shock again

#

ah well

slender lance
#

I think shock is gonna beat Titans

gaunt acorn
stark salmon
#

Shock versus Titans, 10 AM PST. I wonder who will win?

gaunt acorn
#

i'm going to say titans

#

no bias at all

stark salmon
#

I wonder how do team communicate with each other while there's a language barrier

trim shadow
#

Titans did it once

#

Theyll do it again

#

@stark salmon probably using base words of english

#

Or simple words

#

It isnt hard to say brig brig brig brig

#

Compared to ok were going hide in dark and were going@to flank

#

From someone who isnt native in english

stark salmon
#

crosses fingers for stage 3 playoff finals to be Shock and Titans

#

I bet those two teams are going to be fighting nonstop for the grand finals

trim shadow
#

Its the stary of a rivalry anime arc

#

I TRIED SO HARD AND GOT SO FAR IN THE ENDD IT DOESNT EVEN MATTERR

#

-sinatraa in the rain

stark salmon
#

Shock was so close to beating the Titans

gaunt acorn
#

so close yet so far

#

gr go agane

trim shadow
#

They just got yeeted off the server on rialto by vancouber

stark salmon
#

you mean NYXL against Titans?

gaunt acorn
#

no

#

shock got yeeted on rialto too during last stage finals

trim shadow
#

Its like when vancouver gets rialto

#

there unstoppable

stark salmon
#

eek

trim shadow
#

Have they even lost on rialto yet?

#

Probably not

stark salmon
#

I hope the escort map for the finals isn't Rialto

trim shadow
#

Shock would be stupid if they pick it

#

But vancouver will definetly pick it

stark salmon
#

#ShocktheWorld 🆚 #ForceofNature

gaunt acorn
#

so no wolf/achillios

#

at the very least, we can be thankful it won't be cast by semm/hex

#

i'm guessing it'll be uber/x

trim shadow
#

Why are they leaving?

gaunt acorn
#

@trim shadow uh titans lost rialto to.. la valiant

#

@trim shadow they're wrapped up for this stage/playoffs, meaning they aren't casting the final match -- they aren't going anywhere

trim shadow
#

Ahh but why did they hint at not casting for stage 3?

gaunt acorn
#

there is no hint

#

he literally says the opposite

#

"...and story we will cast in Stage 3"

#

no need to worry

trim shadow
#

Cause at this point i enjoy wolf and achilios

gaunt acorn
#

most people do

trim shadow
#

and semmler to a extent

#

Semmler has great puns

gaunt acorn
#

the only casting duo that should be fearing for their jobs are semmler/hex

#

a lot of fans are vocal about disliking their style

trim shadow
#

Semmler is legendary tho

gaunt acorn
#

in cs:go, sure

#

he's adapted quite poorly to overwatch

#

especially the goats meta

trim shadow
#

Hes usually a echo kind of caster

#

Its more hex is outright bad as a caster

gaunt acorn
#

semmler is constantly missing important plays, cracking bad jokes

#

he is rather inattentive/doesn't know where to look a lot of the time

trim shadow
#

Just a bad casting duo

gaunt acorn
#

agreed

#

i would be surprised if they return for season 3

trim shadow
#

Two echo casters one is quiet and one is punny and missed alot

stark salmon
#

I wonder if Havana will be added to Stage 3

gaunt acorn
#

very likely yes

trim shadow
#

Wolf: casting a mile a minute
Achilios : THE GRAV

#

That gets me hyped everytime

gaunt acorn
#

i find monte/doa can get quite annoying, but i'd gladly take them over semmler/hex at this point

#

there's just zero excitement

trim shadow
#

I hate monte’s voice

gaunt acorn
#

and the play-by-play is often wrong

trim shadow
#

He has that classy im@the shit voice

#

Monte and doa are super delayed

gaunt acorn
#

i would rank them 3rd

trim shadow
#

Like semm but its more banter talk

#

And not@paying attention

gaunt acorn
#

i'm not sure whether i prefer wolf/achillios, or uber/x

trim shadow
#

When semm and hex are paying attention but calling it wrong

gaunt acorn
#

both are enjoyable to listen to

trim shadow
#

They should mix up the duo’s between semm hex monte and doa

#

Like doa and semm and monte and hex

gaunt acorn
#

i feel like that would just destroy synergy

trim shadow
#

Season 3 ofc

gaunt acorn
#

i think it's likely semmler will return to cs:go

trim shadow
#

Cause wolf and achilios have been together sine kr contenders

#

But csgo doesnt pay as much as blizzard does

#

And csgo is pretty dry

gaunt acorn
#

i hope they replace semmler/hex with zp/avast

trim shadow
#

If avast cares

gaunt acorn
#

why wouldn't he

trim shadow
#

U never know

#

Just like how runaway got ignored season 1 for gc busan

gaunt acorn
#

runaway had never won a major tournament at that point in time

#

gc busan had just won apex season 4

#

the comparison is tenuous

sullen berry
#

These are casters

#

The colour or the quality of the real time analysis and casual banter is hard work

gaunt acorn
#

it's also a job

#

and clearly they aren't very good at it

#

bring up zp/avast

#

semmler basically just reads the kill feed

#

he misses crucial plays, strategies, and setups

#

and his chemistry with hex doesn't work very well

#

likewise hex never sounds particularly excited and cracks the same flat jokes during fights

sullen berry
#

if you are expecting achilios and wolf level of knowledge without alienating a casual audience who will not know how a kill feed works

gaunt acorn
#

no, i'm not expecting that

sullen berry
#

I guess semmhex have been doing candidly on disney sterams

gaunt acorn
#

monte/doa are casual enough for newcomers to understand

#

their only problem is doa has gone partially senile

#

i'm not expecting every casting pair to be like achillios/wolf

#

but semmler/hex actively detract from the enjoyment of the matches as they provide little excitement and don't cover what's going on during fights very well

sullen berry
#

Theyve certainly made quite an impression, less so if the majority are telling me semmler is great drspite the routine quips

gaunt acorn
#

monte will often interrupt doa's play-by-play casting to bring attention to a setup that is about to lead to a big play -- this can be useful for newcomers

#

semmler/hex never do this, as they don't see them coming

#

and i can tell you i'm quite sick of them casting the past 3-4 titans games

gaunt acorn
#

kaiser to owl now

#

come on

#

but which team needs him

faint cedar
#

just saw it at the top lol sorry

gaunt acorn
#

no worries

sullen berry
#

Kaiser could just be in any team you reckon?

faint cedar
#

I've never gotten anything from the twitch streams though

#

I've wathced every one

#

I'm aware there are other sites to watch it on?

gaunt acorn
faint cedar
#

yeah, ofc

gaunt acorn
#

what country are you in?

faint cedar
#

canada

gaunt acorn
#

ah

#

one moment

sullen berry
#

Smh

gaunt acorn
faint cedar
#

will do

gaunt acorn
#

you should receive tokens from now on

sullen berry
#

Are they still doing those consent surveys

gaunt acorn
#

it's only one time now

faint cedar
#

can I only allow the second one?

gaunt acorn
#

@faint cedar allow the second what -- i can't see what it's asking

#

i completed it last year

faint cedar
#

ah, first one is general account data such as name, etc, second is ability to receive Overwatch League tokens via viewership data

gaunt acorn
#

it's all internal, so i mean, blizzard already has that info

sullen berry
#

Viewership data SombraThinking

gaunt acorn
#

allow both

faint cedar
#

oh alright

#

thanks, allowed both

sullen berry
#

If you want to be ready for all stars double tokens next week

gaunt acorn
#

now just make sure you're watching live and you should receive drops

faint cedar
#

oh I need to do a math question now lol

gaunt acorn
#

lucky for you, all-star weekend will have the token drop rate doubled

#

yeah, make sure you don't screw it up

faint cedar
#

You are eligible to receive Overwatch League viewership rewards! \o/

gaunt acorn
faint cedar
#

why isn't this easier to find?

gaunt acorn
#

it's only for canadian viewers

faint cedar
#

I mean, I've never found this before, and I've googled it a few times during the season last year

sullen berry
#

And im not canadian

gaunt acorn
#

i believe it's linked on the "how to earn tokens" page

sullen berry
#

The rest of the world is largely all or nothing

faint cedar
sullen berry
#

I too dont notice how well that gets marketed

#

Because it doesnt fully mention eligility instructions for any other countries

gaunt acorn
#

@faint cedar it was last season, it seems they changed the guide since then

#

i don't know where you're supposed to find it now

faint cedar
#

it's kinda shitty how hidden it is imo

#

but I really appreciate you helping me

#

thank you

gaunt acorn
#

no worries, enjoy the tokens

faint cedar
#

oh also, how do I know when tokens are being rewarded?

gaunt acorn
#

you get a notification in twitch

faint cedar
#

I don't mean when I get tokens, I mean when the stream is offering tokens, so I know when to tune in?

gaunt acorn
#

when it's first airing, i.e. live

#

reruns don't count

faint cedar
#

ah so it's live now, right?

gaunt acorn
#

no

faint cedar
#

what exactly am I looking at here, the arrow?

gaunt acorn
#

the ↻ indicates it's a rerun, yes

faint cedar
#

ah I see now

gaunt acorn
#

it will be a 🔴 blip when it's live

faint cedar
#

awesome, I appreciate your patience with me

gaunt acorn
faint cedar
#

oh nice, thank you

gaunt acorn
#

(times should automatically be in your local time zone)

faint cedar
#

convenient

#

if I just leave the stream running for 24 hrs will I be good to go?

gaunt acorn
#

..theoretically?

#

but i mean, if your computer goes to sleep or something

#

it won't count

faint cedar
#

I've disabled sleep, it should stay on indefinitely

gaunt acorn
#

there's only one match tomorrow, and it will probably last 2-3 hours at most

#

for me, it begins at 10:00 AM

faint cedar
#

yeah I'm just worried of sleeping in lol

gaunt acorn
#

when i can't be bothered to fully wake up and watch early games, i just let it run on my phone

#

using the twitch app

#

but you can try letting your pc run

#

no guarantees, however

faint cedar
#

fingers crossed

upper niche
#

wtf lol?

#

That was a randomly inserted clip for sure.

stark salmon
#

Welp, guess I'm adding +1 more team to cheer for

#

because of their twitter page

uneven wren
#

To whoever said where is Kaiser, I made an error, he is on O2 Blast not GC Busan

north beacon
#

guys i feel kind of stupid for asking this

#

but does anyone else find the color of dva bomb "!" exclamation mark to be confusing in OWL?

gaunt acorn
#

@north beacon you're not alone, i've seen some people complain the indicator is confusing too

north beacon
#

it alternates between home/white color right?

#

seems based on distance like when you play yourself, but since white is one of the team colors it confuses me

gaunt acorn
#

i believe so

#

i haven't actually paid much attention to it myself

#

but i did see someone complain about it during yesterday's match

north beacon
#

yeah i mean in GOATS you kind of know who's dva bomb it is

#

but sometimes when two gravs go off it gets confusing for example

supple prism
#

Which team is white?

jovial fiber
#

The away team

stark salmon
#

it's confusing if you have teams with similar main colors

little silo
#

Kaisers performance against Runaway yesterday was beautiful

lost jacinth
#

Kaiser still plays?

jovial fiber
#

Yes

#

apparently he plays for gc busan

gaunt acorn
#

no

#

he plays for O2 blast

little silo
#

yes

gaunt acorn
#

who just came 2nd place in korean contenders

#

after losing to element mystic

little silo
#

Got sweeped in the finals

#

Element Mystic didnt drop a map in playoffs absolutely insane

gaunt acorn
#

deserved win

#

it was fun seeing kaiser pop off though

#

i wonder if any owl teams are interested in him

#

i guess florida is out since they just signed fate

little silo
#

I hope so

#

maybe defiant

#

when does sp9rkle turn 18?

gaunt acorn
#

@little silo in just over a year

#

a year and 19 days, if you want to get specific

little silo
#

Might be brought in for Stage 3 in the next season then

gaunt acorn
#

he's certainly one of the standout players on EM

#

ignoring potentially new expansion teams in season 3, i wonder which owl teams would be eager to sign him

little silo
#

there might be another bidding war for him similar to Decay

#

Not as intense probably

#

We have quite a few extremely talented players who are too young for the League

#

Alarm is my personal favorite

#

he will probably go to the fusion and replace boombox

echo quest
#

Florida should by Bernar from philly fusion

Opinions on Kris as a main support?

#

I dont remember anything about him except for a failed beat on Horizon

sullen berry
#

I remember that day

#

Kris' Mercy and Lucio have been serviceable, but that's it

gaunt acorn
#

very unremarkable

#

but that could apply to all of florida mayhem, really

sullen berry
#

If he is doing any of the shotcalling for the team - then he's not playing very well to compensate

trim shadow
#

At this point most of floridas problems come from coaching

gaunt acorn
#

i mean

#

yes, but also no

#

their roster isn't stellar either

#

but certainly their coaching staff has been (remained?) a massive disappointment

little silo
#

well some of their players have a lot of potential

#

and then you have people like xepher and swon

gaunt acorn
trim shadow
#

Saya bqb And hagopeun have the potential

gaunt acorn
#

bqb i'm not too fond of

#

sayaplayer is undeniably a star

#

hagopeun is certainly a decent player, though i don't recall him achieving much on london

echo quest
#

He was a bench boi

#

Due to bdosin which is understandable

gaunt acorn
#

no doubt

trim shadow
#

Hagopeun in contenders was good

upper niche
#

Ugh, just saw the final is at 3:00am local time. Screw getting up for that 😦

#

Guess I'm not getting my 200 OWL tokens before AllStars ends 😦

gaunt acorn
#

not unless you're willing to.. sellout

sullen berry
#

the option is always there 💰

fast ember
#

finals are at 9:30pm for me, unlike the usual 3am when they run the games I want to watch

gaunt acorn
#

10:00 AM for me

#

how many hours till 10am

#

ah 4h 15mins

#

this game's gonna be epic

lost jacinth
#

can someone explain the OWL format to me

#

what's with all the stages

trim shadow
#

Its to give breaks for players

lost jacinth
#

ah okay

trim shadow
#

You play all 28 games and players will burn out and retire fast

#

Like the 40 games last year

#

Which honestly this season is longer and more brutal

lost jacinth
#

so all teams play 28 games before a knockout stage?

trim shadow
#

Correct

#

At this point in the season theyre vying for playoff spots

#

Aka the top 6

#

And then 6 more fights for the last 2 spots

lost jacinth
#

cuz I only understand european tournament sports formats.. league stage, knockouts then quarterfinals etc

#

so playoffs are the knockout phase I think?

#

do the teams gain points for winning each game per stage?

#

there seems to be separate points table per stage

#

and yet a league table

trim shadow
#

They gain map differential

#

Map differnetial establishes seeding

#

Right now vancouver has +40

#

If they stay undefeated they get the pure number 1 seed in end of season finals

#

As it is right now...
vancouver new york and san fran have the top 3 seeds

#

Unless that MASSIVE change to stage 3 comes

lost jacinth
#

seeds mean?

trim shadow
#

The hint is 2/2/2 but no confirm

#

Seeds is hard to explain..but not rlly

lost jacinth
#

i see

trim shadow
#

Seeds are assements of power

#

So if vancouver is 28-0

#

Theyre the clear dominant

#

They get number 1

#

For map differential

#

And record

lost jacinth
#

man, why not a simple league > knockout > quarters > semis > finals system

trim shadow
#

And seeds are based on division

#

So vancouver is at the top of the pacific

#

And san fran is at the top of the atlantic

#

Vancouver gets the number 1 san fran gets the number 2

#

Its a simple leauge

#

Teams play 7 matches break 7 matches break 7 matches break

lost jacinth
#

ok

trim shadow
#

Some@go on to get prize money in stage playoffs

#

And then get a week break

#

And then stage 4 7 games

lost jacinth
#

i just noticed that.. 500k per stage for real

trim shadow
#

A play in for post season

#

I think thats just for this stage

#

Last stage was 200k

lost jacinth
#

ah

#

so what's the final phase of the competition

#

how many teams get to play in that

trim shadow
#

6

#

6 qualify

lost jacinth
#

ok

trim shadow
#

6 more play for 7th and 8th seed

lost jacinth
#

ahh

trim shadow
#

So 1-6

#

6-12

#

Rest are eliminated

lost jacinth
#

so the 7 and 8th spot games are held before the final phase.. total 8 teams qualify for it after the rest (from 6-12) are eliminated

#

that's basically quarterfinals then

trim shadow
#

The ones who didnt qualify for the play in are eliminated

#

This is how it should look

lost jacinth
trim shadow
#

I pissed the bot off lol

#

But this is how it should go

#

Lets say

#
  1. Vancouver
  2. San fran
    3.new york
  3. Atlanta
  4. Hangzhou
  5. Seoul
#

And lets say your 6-12 is

#
  1. London
  2. Philly
    8.chengdu
  3. La gladiators
  4. Dallas
  5. Toronto
  6. Paris

@quick valley so you like dps, but you prefer super over bumper, the main tank who regularly plays dps?

idk if i would consider bumper a top 3 main tank

Bumper is a top 3 Rein

if your team has to play their Dva at Hammond, then you're not a top 3 tank

but even 7 maps probably won't take more than 2.5-3 hours

they could go 8-9 on payload or something

true

if both teams decide not to play defense we could spend like an hour on 2cp

im expecting vancouver to win today but i want shock to win

we could spend like an hour on both 2 CP maps

and hybrid

and they could just stay in OT on KOTH

the possibilities are endless

i honestly dont care who wins

shock and titans are like
