^ that. I came onto the forums just to hopefully find the answer.
-lurks in corner- >_>
I’m lurking for answers as well.
It’s pre-show in 15 mins and the UI selection doesn’t even exist.
Yep, doesn’t seem to be working. Jebaited.
Hopefully, it appears at the same time the pre-show and stream starts.

directions say it is to the right of the twitch player.

Remember the new contest is considered “beta” so some things may not be working right. On that note, I suspect it will go live once the Twitch broadcast resumes when Watchpoint starts in about 10 minutes. (They usually have the previous day’s Watchpoint Post show running at this time.)

Based on the description, it will only work while the stream is live (despite the comment about it going up an hour early), since the component for the “Picks” feature is attached to the Twitch viewer.

Should work!
You are right. It is working there:

Apparently you need to view it in a full size PC browser window for it to work. Otherwise all the League Picks stuff is off the screen and won’t let you scroll to see it.
Edit: Also nothing works anyway because of internal server errors, probably associated with the high volume of traffic right now.
And on a friendly note, my first match discussion thread of the night is now up:
the login button isnt working for me
The whole “Maestro” site that handles it went down shortly after the link was posted. We’ll have to wait.
I’m guessing several thousand people clicked on it at about the same time.
Agreed, sounds like the feature will not be available today at this pace.
On a positive note, it appears to be an extension available directly on Twitch as well but it is not working either.
Have to love that Blizzard is attempting to do these things… but have to also really dislike how poorly they execute them. This fiasco is almost as bad as the Obamacare website fiasco the US Gov put out on its own launch night.
Blizz always fails on first tries. Their ideas are amazing, they just can’t quite get it right in round one usually. That isn’t terrible overall, because they do nail it eventually.

Looks like they are fully aware of the issue and have shut down the league picks feature for now.

We’re aware some users are experiencing issues with the League Picks Twitch extension, so we’re going to disable it temporarily as we work to resolve the issue. Thanks for your interest and patience!
WyomingMyst – I made predictions on the first match and I got an email that “Maestro OWL” has access to certain information about my Blizzard account. Do you know if that’s normal?
I went and removed it right away, but heads up that other people might get this email too which seems suspect.
