It's best of 2 group stage so there won't be a third game.

Best of... two? What
|
Not really such a thing as "best of 2", but they're playing 2 games total.
|
Is it a time saving format? Feels kinda weird and anticlimactic.

Trikslyr's face was so adorable there. I like the vibe of Trickyweed.
I want to see Dread and Khaldor, I feel like that would be really awkward.
|
Following the MVP.B vs. R20 game is tough, lol. Tempo Storm looks alright, but I have a hard time building the hype for them vs. Red Canids since I know nothing about them.
Its nice that Red Canids dont look powerless though, and it also helps that hamTaro looks like Lucio IRL.

I wonder if theres going to be a prioritisation on keeping Genji out of KR team's hands from here on out. I think that might be a key to success for R20 in particular vs. Korea unless they hard ban their Medivh-Diablo/Varian shenanigans.
Soul Torturers making a fair show, I'm not sure they look quite matched up, but they look like they're definitely not just gonna roll over to the Best Team In The World.
L5 Stitches 2 good tho.
I take everything back, L5 looks ten times as strong with this Stitches play.
ST seem like really solid teamfighters, not enough to take L5 out, but I look forward to seeing more of them
Oh Dread, you gotta practice concision in your questioning, lol. RIP Translator, to quote twitch chat.
That being said, I like L5 way more than I like MVP.Black atm. KR looks good but not unstoppable and I look forward to seeing how things shake out.

eStar looks really solid, and Dig seemed really helpless that last game
|
eStar looks really fantastic, I look forward to seeing how they fare vs. Korean teams, or R20. I think they look like a really strong contender to go ro4

Bo2 is a fairly standard format for large group round robins. The big distinction to look forward to is whether a team can close it out 2-0 instead of 1-1 because the winning team gets 3 points instead of 1 (and the loser gets 0 points instead of 1). It means that every game counts.

I dunno, I hate having the climactic third match cut out, it makes me ache for a decisive answer for the matchups.
Also, Roll20 is on a Roll. Looking pretty good.

There will be plenty of time for super climactic matchups coming in the bracket. The playoffs are a double elimination bracket, all Bo5 with a Bo7 finals. The group stage feels like a constant grind, but I like that it's nothing but constant action where literally every game counts.

It also helps the schedule, since they don't need to plan around a possible six extra thirty minute games (plus draft and casterbox).
EDIT: Wow, that was a comeback.

Holy fucking DIGNITAS, true EU gods. NA and EU making KR look do mortal, so hype!

Back tomorrow then. So far all the games that I was able to watch were very entertaining.

I hate that I have to go to work tomorrow... And this week, gonna spend so much time watching vods and avoiding spoilers
|
Since I won't be here to enjoy this tomorrow, I'm going to preemptively go...
GO DIGNITAS! GO ROLL20! GO L5! GO SOUL TORTURERS!
And may good games come to all of the rest
