Stage 2 will use live patch?

General Discussion
1

As mentioned in this webpage, Stage 2 will be played in patch 1.34
However, there aren’t any mentions about tweaks to Junkrat, Reaper, Symmetra, Zarya, and Zenyatta, in the “PATCH WORK” topic compared to live patch

Stage 2 will be using the live patch; it’s just not correctly mentioned in the webpage

They will use the live patch. Baptiste is just released in the live patch (and not before). They also provide the link to the patch notes in the article you posted. I have a full discussion about this subject already posted here:

So probably typo/incomplete information in the Stage 2 page

They know they can’t delay babs till stage 3, or people are going to get bored.
Maybe OWL will start forcing more bigger changes more often in order to keep interest alive?

Players matter less than the viewers in the end of the day.

Awesooome, was worried he wouldn’t make it in for stage 2.

Tiebreaker Tweak

We’ll also be adding some additional tiebreakers to minimize the odds of a tie for seeding in the stage and regular-season playoffs. We’ll announce the specifics at a later date.

Will this affect us ladder folks too in Competitive ?
