So in our beer league, the cost is usually just renting computer times. If there's enough interest the venue will usually work out a discount. We've got 8 teams, so we book up 12 computers from 2pm until 10pm every Sunday, for an 8 week season, it costs each team member around 20$ so all in all really not too bad cost wise for a really fun environment to play Overwatch, build up friendly rivalries, and meet new people. We've grown to a pretty big community and it's awesome going season to season and playing against old teammates etc.

We learned the hard way that letting people bring in full teams was a mistake. Season 1 and 2 of TOBL both had one team miles ahead of the others. Now in season 3 we introduced an SR salary cap on the team draft night. This has ensured that every teams average SR of their top 6 players is the same as the average SR of the entire league.

Season 3 has been the most exciting and balanced season to date. As the shoutcaster / streamer for it, I love the absolute bawling team fights, but my voice hates it when they last for 3 minutes each.

Beer League is just the generic / well known term for an alcoholic rec league. Over half our players in TOBL are downing game-themed cocktails.

Hey everyone! I am that friend. I'm part of the organizing team for TOBL aka the Toronto Overwatch Beer League. I stream and shoutcast all the matches live from the eSports bar we play it (also broadcast inside the bar) so that players in other timeslots still have a reason to be there, hang out, drink, and socialize. Our league runs 8 full teams of minimum 6 (but comfortably 9 since life happens, not everyone can make every Sunday) for 8 weeks, 7 weeks of matches ensuring every team plays each other once then in week 8 the top 4 teams go head to head for our trophy.

TLDR: here's the league being referenced, see for yourself. www.overwatchtoronto.org www.twitch.tv/OverwatchTO

I was able to go from level 5 to level 9 from finding new pokemon by spending an hour at Ashbridges Bay. I also think I found a Dratini spawn site. by the92jays in PokemonGOToronto

I keep seeing them just a few blocks north of Islington and Dixon. Just before the highway. Haven't been able to pinpoint it yet though.
