Its not a perfect change to the ranked systems internal issues that let players get boosted but its a good change regardless and its nice to feel heard on it somewhat.
Red is Japan (4 weeks into playoffs from June 1st to 30th)
Blue is Pacific (5 weeks into playoffs from June 4th to July 9th)
Green is Korea (4 weeks into Seeding / LCQ into playoffs from June 5th to July 12th)
I doubt many people will care but theyve adjusted the Champions Clash bracket (First image is the new one, Second is the old one).
I made a post a little while ago abt how the old one will lead to possible duplicate matches and it seems the esport team has seen it too now so they changed it to make sure that cant happen .
(Previously it was possible and rather likely for any of the original four games to be repeated in the lower bracket).
Interesting theyre going through open qualifiers again. I wonder if theyll be better next stage.
Interested in hearing what series people liked the most during stage 1. I'd imagine a lot of people enjoyed watching todays finals but what other matches do you think deserve a mention here?
Some that came to mind for me were:
DSG vs TL (it was just rly funny, not a particularly good match, especially watching the Toast POV)
Dallas vs SSG (regular season)
Onside vs T1 (regular season)
Zeta vs Falcons (regular season)
VP vs Geekay (playoffs upper bracket)
Got announced yesterday, didnt see it till just now and i cant see a post for it so here yall go. Surprised to see Kellex here, but honestly a rly solid team overall.
Overwatch World Cup Groups!! Who are yall excited to see?
Apparently Youbi leaked the Finnish team in this video. Watching it, the team contains :
Vestola
Sauna
Gucci
Ghost91
Winter
Ive also heard people mention masaa and skairipa are on the team, idk who made the cut or not and if this finnish roster is finalised.
I feel like Korea has improved a bit in draft quality but I don't think it's been enough to say their drafts are good. I remember watching Falcons play Geekay last year at EWC, lose to the lifweaver comp then instantly ban it, now I watched Falcons play against the hog comp, lose to it then ban it. Both times, the ban made no sense. Surely they couldve gone to Gibraltar and taken the Cat Bast Ana mirror like they did when they beat CR recently by protecting Ana. If they go Hog, surely Ana just stays high and nades him all game, they couldve even banned Kiriko to stop any cleanse potential.
Anyone know why both Mealgaru and Donghak took the extra mines on blizzard world during the T1 Zeta game? I guessed it was mainly to do with them not rly marking each other so they didnt boop each other much and therefore the tank damage perk isnt worth much.
Saw a post abt Imperial's Maths course having a less than satisfactory quality of education with reports of lecturers missing certain topics, not recording every lecture, among other issues. Interested in hearing whether this is a unique isolated issue or if other universities/courses (mainly Warwick for Maths, since I plan to attend there) also have a problem where the quality of teaching feels poor.
