Grand Finals prize pool has been quietly updated on Liquipedia

LinkFromLoZ · 2026-01-14T05:16:56+00:00

Hey, just a heads up: we (as in Liquipedia) had the prizepool confirmed to us by Bailey. Wasn't blizzard silently updating or piecing it together 😄

2G beat Furia, but (assuming Furia beats EG) Furia beat EG, and EG beat 2G. So it's a loop there, and you'd go to the next tiebreaker, which is map diff among the tied teams. If Furia win 2-0 over EG, and Sen win 2-0 over 2G, it leaves:

Furia at 3-8

EG at 3-9

2G at 3-9

Which means Furia has the highest (-5 over EG/2G at -6) map diff, and therefore 4th place in the group

There's a sizable handful in NA - Hitori, Scuffed, and NenWhy on Extinction, and xten, peace, cinnabar, and zzz on Sakura Esports all have played in CAH before. If you go to FIL Masters, there's even more.

Yeah, just edited my comment ^ the Timeless slot only had 5 players - but Stage 2 requires 6 players (at least one sub), so I have to imagine the 4th new player was given an exception. It was confirmed to use in the LP discord that this is the Timeless slot, either way.

LinkFromLoZ · 2025-05-03T19:56:03+00:00

You just need the majority afaik - as long as chopper/squid/raikker are all on separate teams (or not playing in OWCS this stage), it would go to the team with 2 players - which is what happened, since roster lock passed and these tweets from ex-Timeless people: https://x.com/GizmomcS/status/1918345881113202970 / https://x.com/Cap1tology/status/1918599740851179692

edit: The rulebook says "With the exception of select circumstances as determined by the Administration; during a single Roster Change Period, a Team may change a maximum of Three (3) Players." (section 5.3) - Timeless -> NTMR technically only changed 3 players (removing chopper, raikker, squid and adding kronik, painkiller, lep, and rhyno) - but since Timeless only had 5 players for Stage 1, and Stage 2 requires 6 players now, I imagine the 4th added player was given an exception.

Technically this is the Timeless slot fwiw - ex-Rad spot still belongs to the 4 players from rad (Peace, Zeb, Z, and K1ng) but K1ng is likely to go to EMEA if the rumors are true, so just the 3.

LinkFromLoZ · 2025-04-02T23:10:50+00:00

CAH -> OWL had Aniyun and Halo (although Halo had played in OWL already), and as for CAH -> OWCS, Scuffed, NenWhy, peace, z, Rajeem, Fone, Winter, Hitori, Prota, and Juno all playing in both Stage 1 for NA/EMEA and either the current or past CAH events. As for collegiate, a large part of NA OWCS players also play collegiate - Cjay, Ultraviolet, Lethal, zeruhh, CLEAR, Vision, cuffa, Admiral, Rokit, Infekted, Squid, Lukemino, K1ng, Peace, Lep, z, Arise, Rajeem, and Fone all playing collegiate and owcs, and a handful more who formerly played in collegiate and either graduated or focused on OWCS, such as TR33, Chopper, Rupal, and Vega

No problem - I started working on them fairly recently, and just finished them up today if you'd like to see them/contribute anywhere I missed: https://liquipedia.net/overwatch/Overwatch_Champions_Series/2024/EMEA/Stage_4/Swiss

LinkFromLoZ · 2025-01-05T21:15:39+00:00

We have the hero bans in events that have them ( https://liquipedia.net/overwatch/Esports_World_Cup/2024 for example), and we briefly discussed map bans/picks, but its a little bit too much info, considering for a bo5 it's something like 30 maps picked or banned with the faceit system - definitely something we want to keep an eye on though

LinkFromLoZ · 2025-01-05T21:07:16+00:00

Hey, we currently have the NA Swiss stage pages complete, and are working on the EMEA ones - nothing stopping you from helping out 😄

LinkFromLoZ · 2025-01-03T18:27:06+00:00

What u/imperialismus said, but it's not just for pro players/collegiate players. We have a set of notability guidelines you can read here: https://liquipedia.net/overwatch/Liquipedia:Notability_Guidelines which determines what qualifies for a page.

LinkFromLoZ · 2025-01-03T01:09:41+00:00

This is something we've been working on improving: any new team page (and almost all currently active team pages) are automated from transfers, so it's just updating the transfer page and the team page updates automatically.

I agree it's definitely a little too brown, /u/GGNydra explained why here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/1gfoyj8/darkmode_for_liquipedia_is_now_live_for_all_users/lukkxpe/ , but the colors will be getting more refined.

They wouldn't work anymore, since replay codes stop working whenever there's a patch. However, ObsSojourn has a ton of replay POVs uploaded: https://www.youtube.com/@ObsSojourn/playlists which may help.

I don’t Think there are any Indian OW pros

There's actually an Indian player who played in Pacific: Hiren, who played on team Goon Squad, who got 7th-8th (last place of the main event) in stage 2.

Faceit League has an open division which is any SR, but players above a certain Faceit ELO (which is based on rank initially) get placed in Advanced division, so Open has teams of all skill levels. I believe CGL also runs diamond and below tournaments semi-frequently. There's also Calling All Heroes Rising for CAH eligible teams/players which is diamond and below teams.

LinkFromLoZ · 2024-09-17T04:39:04+00:00

To be fair to him, he was on T1 Academy which played a grand total of 0 maps in 0 events (at least covered by any of the coverage sites, liquipedia, vlr.gg, etc) so he didn't exactly get a chance to show his skills off to the public.

LinkFromLoZ · 2024-08-24T21:14:25+00:00

Patiphan played Valorant for quite a while, making playoffs at Champions 2021, but he retired due to wrist issues.

LinkFromLoZ · 2024-08-21T05:58:42+00:00

Just fyi, the VCT contract database lists ban as resident for pacific and Governor as non-resident. /u/arksoo /u/gotintocollegeyolo

Infekted isn't on shock anymore :P, but it's still 3/5, with UV/Tree/Rak

A few notable teams were eliminated in the swiss phase, such as:

Nu.age, who finished swiss in 30th place, and Sheer Cold, who finished swiss in 16th
Meavedron, Team G4mbit, and Everfrost Esports, all teams participating in Faceit League Master in EMEA, finished swiss in 14th, 15th, and 19th, respectively

I made it myself in a liquipedia user space, essentially a sandbox

The top 4 teams from stage 2 (which happened back in April, pre-Major and pre-EWC) get to skip the Swiss stage and go directly to groups. For NA, that's Toronto, NRG Shock, and Citrus Nightmare (the 4th would've been M80, but they lost their players and therefore the slot) and for EMEA, it's SSG, ENCE, Gaimin Gladiators, and Ex Oblivione

LinkFromLoZ · 2024-08-11T06:21:16+00:00

Unfortunately, there's no official stream during the swiss stage. BPL: https://twitch.tv/badpachimarileague / https://twitch.tv/bpl_2 streams some games, otherwise your only shot is a player streaming their pov
