Maybe… the time tables for today’s matches was decided long before teams were decided.

What is going to be worse is that the next match starts in 14 hours. That’s not enough a full night sleep by the time the teams get back home.

All 3 DPS players on Shanghai have now played Doomfist.

Dding was literally not letting Sado even engage into that fight with his team

TylerG-11641 · August 31, 2019, 5:25am

You can’t spell “Sado” without “Sad”.

Lotus-13637 · August 31, 2019, 5:25am

Oh yeah, you’re right. Let me correct that~

I’m at 99/100 correct league picks so far. Shanghai needs to win this so I can claim dat prize. D:

Maybe EQO could’ve picked Pharah last game.
Or is Shanhai keep using diem so EQO cant do that?

Kaedi-11739 · August 31, 2019, 5:41am

Curious… I thought the rules prohibited duplicate map picks of the same map type.

TylerG-11641 · August 31, 2019, 5:42am

Same. Maybe they figure Shanghai will win it again and we can all just go to sleep.

Grumpy-12923 · August 31, 2019, 5:42am

I call this the reverse Houston where you actually do read the rules.

Kaedi-11739 · August 31, 2019, 5:44am

I checked the rules, they are not suppose to be playing King’s Row, unless the rules have since been amended since these were published (back in February 2019)…

Rules of Competition:

5.8. Season Playoffs.
(a) Play-in Tournament. At the end of the season the six Teams that place seventh
through twelfth during the Regular Season will compete in a Play-In Tournament
which will determine the seventh and eighth Playoffs seeds. The Play-in
Tournament will be structured as follows:
(i) The tournament is single-elimination.
(ii) Each match is “First-to-4” maps. In the event of a draw on any given map,
neither Team will be rewarded a win.
(iii) In each match the higher seeded Team will select the first map of the match
from the Stage’s respective map pool.
(iv) In each match the loser of each map will pick the next map and the winner
will select whether to attack or defend.
(v) No map may be played twice in any match.
(vi) First Round. In the first round the ninth seed will play the twelfth seed and
the tenth seed will play the eleventh seed.
(vii) Semi-Finals. The bracket will be reseeded heading into the Semi-Finals
round with the lower seeded winner of either first round match competing
against the seventh seed, and the higher seeded winner of either first round
match competing against the eighth seed.
(viii) Finals. The winning Teams from the Semi-Final round will advance to the
Playoffs and will be seeded according to their Regular Season records.

Now we wait for the complaints to come in to the OWL twitter account

Grumpy-12923 · August 31, 2019, 5:47am

So what’s actually binding them to the rules?

LegitBoss-11676 · August 31, 2019, 5:47am

Gotta say I ain’t too sad to see Philly losing.

TylerG-11641 · August 31, 2019, 5:48am

A firm handshake.
