I, WyomingMyst, am a Forum MVP. This means I spend a great deal of time helping players with Overwatch (which is why my text is green in color). This thread is not related to my role as a Forum MVP and I do not represent Blizzard Entertainment.
Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy the match!
This thread is ONLY intended for the discussion of today’s broadcast and matches being played. If you wish to discuss the ongoing Activision Blizzard Lawsuit including the recent sponsorship withdrawals from the Overwatch League, please do so in a different thread. Details of how the lawsuit is impacting the Overwatch League can be found here:
I just don’t understand. Haven’t started watching OWL until a couple of weeks ago, but it seems odd to me that I have seen teams face the same opponents a couple of times now but these two teams in the same division have yet to face off and we are quite late in the season at this point.
Well the standings page only divides it by East and West. They don’t do well to explain the standings info or league set up info to new fans. Not sure that is a good idea. Also, providing virtually no info beyond current week scores in game is a mistake as well. Such an easy place to market to possible new viewers who may have only clicked there to look at skins.
Wyoming, appreciate your endorsement of my thread regarding recent events and the potential impacts.
As for the matches at hand, Toronto 3-0 and Boston 3-0. Should be a quick broadcast.
Long story short, West teams will play every other West team once or twice (at least once, perhaps twice), while East teams will play every other East team at least twice (some of them three times). When the schedule was released, London and Vancouver only were scheduled to play once. Of course, no one likely predicted both teams would go 0-12 (0-14 after this week).
