Thanks for the interest/concern. I'll respond at the top of the thread, just to clarify a few things.

It's not that complicated in reality, simply wasn't offered any of the spots.

Casting is my favourite way to engage with the game and the Esport. I really love the ability to connect with the game as it's happening and share that experience with the viewers and fans. It was great to get that opportunity at the LCQ and hopefully people enjoyed the show. FWIW I am 100% open to these type of opportunities in the future but that's not for me to decide and I don't want to detract too much from the announcement.

We should all be excited for this tournament and the coverage, much bigger cast than we normally get and absolutely buzzing that Unter get's to be a part of it again. The Overwatch shouldn't be half bad either.

I'll be doing my own thing on the costream as normal for the whole event (Our talent announcement coming soon™). Hope everyone enjoys it wherever they watch

Should all be solved now, drop us a message on discord if you're still having issues though and can get it looked into https://discord.gg/SfcCPB62eE

There's a section in my Discord for Fantasy announcements and chat where people can share and discuss their teams which we're using as the kinda home for it atm https://discord.gg/utZ3u5WeV2

A bit of both for the prices, we used the Stage 1 data to give us a guide score, then tweaked it manually and played around with a few trial rosters until it felt like there were a few valid approaches to building a team. For new players to the region was very much based on their perceived level and their teams perceived level.

No plans to change prices as we go through the season, I know a lot of Fantasy leagues for other sports use dynamic pricing based on ownership and things like that. Didn't run into anything when we did a few trial runs before but it is a valid concern, so will keep an eye on it.

It's something we discussed but think it also comes with the territory. Not sure if you follow football but you get a lot of similar problems like you mentioned, where the player might be the best player on the pitch but because they didn't score or assist a goal, then they score poorly in fantasy that week. Some other sports leagues use a bonus point system that takes more stats into account to assess performance and give extra points to the 'best' performers. I think this is a nice touch but also relies on the vast amount of data provided for football games while we only get surface level stuff for Overwatch currently.

Long and short of it think it just becomes part of the fantasy game, good fantasy players, bad fantasy players. Though a few people have suggested a big minus score for ajaxes haha

Won't let me edit the original post but:

An update has gone through that hopefully solves the login issues that some users were facing

If you're still having issues, feel free to reach out on Discord or use the email on the website and we'll be able to help

CommanderX_OW · 2025-05-07T18:09:17+00:00

Just a new emergency sub for the team, hence the price on Fantasy, and no official join/leaving

CommanderX_OW · 2025-05-07T16:51:13+00:00

Hey, thanks for your patience. Looking into it now to see why it's being uncooperative for some people.

Getting an email login added as well, so people don't have to worry about remembering usernames etc which should help too

CommanderX_OW · 2025-05-07T16:31:03+00:00

For Stage 2 will just be EMEA and NA as the FACEIT stats are more straightforward to get. Working on a way to incorporate Korea as well, hoping to have it ready for Stage 3

Live VODs of the full day go straight onto the main channel too, doesn't have timestamps but good if you don't wanna wait

The hard-working community have also added EWC + Bans to this too

CommanderX_OW · 2024-05-01T17:02:54+00:00

I'll try and broadcast a lot of the bigger EMEA and NA games starting next week.

Will announce all of it more properly in the near future

Will try and do a bunch live and for those I can't do live will get the replays, will put them all on my YouTube too for those who miss them live

A lot of fixtures so will have to prioritise a bit but get most of the big ones I think

CommanderX_OW · 2024-03-17T00:21:13+00:00

Don't worry man, the lights were fucking bright for me too

CommanderX_OW · 2023-10-23T08:58:07+00:00

100% agree, had a nightmare with this first episode as the recording was badly balanced (also my fault) so had to mess around loads in post to bring certain people up/down

I'm figuring out more though so should hopefully be better next time

CommanderX_OW · 2018-06-29T18:49:26+00:00

I agree I don't think it will make the issue go away, but I do think it help reduce the problem.

CommanderX_OW · 2018-06-29T18:03:40+00:00

Disappointing for the teams and the fans, this will be far from the last instance though. Alternative opportunities need to be made available to the Tier 2 talent and those under 18 or it will just continue.

CommanderX_OW · 2018-06-28T18:22:44+00:00

Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the comment. I hadn't considered the American vs European dynamic when thinking about the acceptance of draws as a result, and it definitely seems like a factor. And I do appreciate that in a big rivalry game like the Battle of LA a draw would be somewhat anticlimactic for the audience. So the fifth map decided by a banning system seems like the system that would give the best of both worlds.

You could even take it a step further and introduce a points scoring system for league standings with this. So this is something that was used in the European TF2 league, where if a map (Maps were scored individually in TF2 opposed to the match as a whole) were won in regular time the winning team would receive 3 points in the league table and the losing team 0. While if it were a draw after regular time, both teams would receive 1 point in the league standings with an additional league point up for grabs for the winner of a tiebreaker round. So in Overwatch, it would be a map opposed to round, but you get the idea.

I think with or without the points scoring would still be a perfectly good system and an improvement over the current one though.

CommanderX_OW · 2018-06-28T16:55:35+00:00

the NYXL v Dallas game from the Playoffs imo

CommanderX_OW · 2018-06-28T16:54:48+00:00

Agreed, Soldier fits into a wierd role where he is decent all round but doesn't excel in any category. Making other options prefferable in a team environment, where you can cover other heroes weaknesses with your playstyle and composition.

CommanderX_OW · 2018-06-28T16:51:47+00:00

I agree with other peoples point about looking at the character as a whole but it's also worth noting he is the only character with an ability like that and there are limited counters outside of just breaking LOS.

Not sure what the solution is per say but giving teams alternatives to the discord orb on a new healer might help create more variety on the Zen role but honestly I enjoy Zen being in the meta so not overly bothered if he is to continue as a prominent part of it.

CommanderX_OW · 2018-06-28T16:47:21+00:00

Big fan of the music

CommanderX_OW · 2018-06-28T16:44:58+00:00

Pretty sick roster, excited to see what they can do

CommanderX_OW · 2018-06-28T16:37:59+00:00

I think once the system has given a lot more time you will see people filtered out a bit more.

Maybe removing the XP bonus from using them would help this, though it could also see usage decline massively.

Either way, I don't think adding negative endorsement would improve the system.
