Dreams of a 4th ring have gone cold, I'm wondering why

My team ain't scrimming at all

The morning clouds up in my window

And I can't see main stage at all

Even if I could no one would rotate with me

Put our picture on my green wall

It reminds me, That it's not so bad......IT'S NOT SO BAD

It's not about what is worse.

The CWL handbook says the following:

>6.6. Ringing

> Participants shall not conduct or promote any act of ringing (playing using an account other than their own) during the Competition.

>7.2.8. Ringing or Account Sharing

> • Typical Minimum Penalty – $1000 Fine and/or Suspension

> • Typical Maximum Penalty (1st Offense) – Indefinite Suspension

> • Typical Maximum Penalty (2nd Offense) – Indefinite Suspension

They broke the rules and now they are paying the consequences. There's no specific rule about receiving free wins, but we can assume they were fined/warned.

Nope

> 4. Team License
A “Team License” is a permit which allows an organization or entity (registered association, organization, corporation, limited liability company, etc.) to have a Team in the GPL. The Team License is granted to an organization or entity at the time the Team accepts an invitation for the GPL. A Team License is a non-transferable license to compete in the GPL in accordance with these GPL Rules.
A Team Owner is only entitled to directly or indirectly own or have any financial, ownership, management, control (including voting rights) and/or other interest in one Team in the GPL. If an Owner is found to have such rights in more than one Team, then in addition to any other rights or remedies Administration has under the Handbook or these GPL Rules, the Owner must either decline an invitation to the GPL on behalf of all but one of the Teams or divest all of such Team Owner’s interest in all but one of the Teams immediately.
A Team License cannot be held by a Player in the GPL. If a qualified Team does not belong to an organization or entity prior to their qualification, such Team must either form an organization or entity which shall be managed solely by an individual who is not participating in the Competition as a Player or join an existing organization or entity to remain in the GPL. The Administration, may, but is not obligated to, provide assistance in connection with the foregoing.

Here you are sir. I posted it on here a few months ago. If you look at the asterisked point it will read as follows:

> While we hope everyone is excited about an even more competitive landscape to kick off the CWL, because of the change from a North America only event to including international teams by invitation to compete, teams who have already purchased a team pass have the opportunity to withdraw from this event and receive a team pass for a future MLG CWL open event taking place in the United States within the next 12 months. Should you wish to withdraw from this event and redeem a pass for a future MLG CWL event please email by 11:59PM EDT Friday 12/9/16.

So yes it was supposed to be an NA event before hand and they did get invited. Now, I will back out before I get trampled by triggers.

• New gamemode, Control, which is replacing CTF as map 3 in a 5 map series. It's a cross between hardpoint and snd, teams have 30 lives and the attacking team has to capture 2 points or get the enemy's lives to 0, and vice versa.

• One Pro League season. Last year the pro league was split into 2 seasons, and teams were relegated or promoted at the end of season 1, meaning there were a few different teams in season 2 compared to 1. This year, it's one long season, so once a team qualifies, they're in for the whole season. There will be specific player transfer periods throughout the season.

• Pro League teams will earn money for each individual win in the league, along with normal placement prize money.

• After Vegas, there are no longer Open Events. Pro League teams will play in their own 16 double elimination bracket at each event, and the rest of the teams will play in a separate tournament bracket, with it's own prize pool.

You can find more in depth changes here: https://www.callofduty.com/esports/story/2018-09/CWL2019_Announcements.html

According to the spectator FAQ document, consumer recording devices are allowed. Professional setups with long lenses, tripods, and lighting will not be permitted, unless cleared beforehand by . You must keep your distance from a player, main stage, feature station, and any other area instructed by the administrative staff, as mentioned in the 2018 CWL NOLA tournament rule book. For more information, you can contact .

Based on the official Pro Point ladder, with some help from Argi collating all the teams properly for us, it looks like Infused are exactly 800 behind Delivare. This means that if Infused outplace Delivare by 1 round, they will be on equal points, and by 2+ they get pool, play.

My question is, what would happen if two teams ended up on exactly the same points?

> #TeamRICOCHET is preparing for the arrival of the next phase in the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system, the new PC kernel-level driver. Warzone will be the first title to receive the driver, launching alongside the Pacific update in December.

Damn, I hadn't seen that.

It's pronounced pretty much exactly how Boze says it. I don't even hear him exaggerating it at all.

In Activision's Q3 2016 earnings summary they said "In our games, our proprietary video player and GameBattles will soon be integrated with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and will allow fans easy access to Call of Duty World League in professional play, as well as amateur competitions."

sure here is the handbook: https://www.callofduty.com/content/dam/atvi/callofduty/esports-new/2019-rules/2019_Pro_League_HB.pdf

Go to page 19 and it should be all there.

Base Prizing for Teams competing in the Regular Season of the PL: • Each Team: $44,375

Per Regular Season Match Win (the “Match Win Bonus”): • Each Participating Team: $2,500

Here's the Pro League Handbook, prizing is on page 19 https://www.callofduty.com/content/dam/atvi/callofduty/esports-new/2019-rules/2019_Pro_League_HB.pdf

Most a team can make: base prizing ($44,375) + $2,500x22 + $500,000 = $599,375

16 teams compete in Stage 1 of the LAN League. Top 2 in each of the 4 groups compete at Stage 1 finals, qualify for pool play at MLG Anaheim, and advance to Stage 2. Third place in each group get into pool play at Anaheim and Stage 2, but don't compete at Stage 1 finals. Bottom of each group compete at Anaheim in relegation matches against winners of regional qualifying tournaments for the final spots in Stage 2.

In Stage 2, top 2 from each group qualify for Stage 2 finals. All 16 teams will be joined by 16 teams from Last Chance Qualifier tournaments to make the 32 team field at Champs.

They explain it here: https://www.callofduty.com/esports/story/2017-02/CWL_2017_SeasonDetails

The Call of Duty website has all the full teams and subs up now, by the way. Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but confirms Teep as OpTic's sub, Shockz (not GRVTY?) as FaZe's sub, Nolson (not Happy) as Splyce's sub, Spoofs as eU's sub.

Hope that helps! :)

> CWL Global Pro League
Beginning in April, we’re proud to bring the CWL Global Pro League, which will take place on LAN at the MLG Arena in Columbus, Ohio. 16 teams (Nine from NA, six from EU, one from APAC) placed in four groups of four will start competition in Stage 1, qualifying based on the CWL pro points they earn in their respective region.

So I preordered the ps5 and was looking into getting this monitor here, would I need a different hdmi cable such as the hdmi 2.0 or the display port one?

No idea when the draw is

Unfortunately there's no official list of PP per team, but there is one for individual players https://www.callofduty.com/esports/pro-points/region/global
Just a note though: Pro Points are irrelevant for Pro League teams as they're seeded using Pro League standings, the amount of PP your team has only matters if you play in the Open Bracket.

KD isn't everything, but in Stage 2 of BO3, he had the 2nd highest sub KD in the league, behind only Scump. In fact, at that time many were hailing him as the next Scump because of how insane his slaying ability was.

Proof:

https://www.callofduty.com/esports/league/na/stats/player

Yes, read here: https://www.callofduty.com/content/dam/atvi/callofduty/esports-new/articles/2018_CWL_Dallas_Open_Tournament_Rules.pdf

under section 5.B. "seeding":

b. Seeding. 1. Registered Teams will be seeded for the open bracket by their total CWL Pro Points as of 6:00 a.m. ET on December 5, 2017.

I'm 99% certain that I read that they'll be seeded the same way. I'll get back to you on that.

here we go:

> The 1st Place CWL Global Pro League Season 1 Team will be placed in pool A.

> The 2nd Place CWL Global Pro League Season 1 Team will be placed in pool B.

> The 3rd CWL Global Pro League Season 1 Team will be placed in pool C.

> The 4th CWL Global Pro League Season 1 Team will be placed in pool D.

> The 5 th – 8 th Place CWL Global Pro League Season 1 Teams will be randomly drawn, one into each Pool.

> The 9th – 12th Place CWL Global Pro League Season 1 Teams will be randomly drawn, one into each pool.

> The Top 4 CWL Global Pro League Season 2 Qualifier Teams will be randomly drawn, one into each pool.

> The final 4 open winners’ bracket Teams will be seeded #17-20 for pool play based on their open bracket seed.

> The 17th seed will be added to pool A, 18th seed will be added to pool B, 19th seed will be added to pool C, and 20th seed will be added to pool D.

CWL Global Pro League

Beginning in April, we’re proud to bring the CWL Global Pro League, which will take place on LAN at the MLG Arena in Columbus, Ohio. 16 teams (Nine from NA, six from EU, one from APAC) placed in four groups of four will start competition in Stage 1, qualifying based on the CWL pro points they earn in their respective region. The top eight make it to the Stage 1 Playoffs, while the bottom four go to into a relegation battle. The opportunity for new teams to qualify into the CWL Global Pro League will once again be made available, as the top two NA, top EU, and top APAC teams based on regional CWL Pro Points will qualify for the CWL Anaheim Open to challenge the bottom four for a spot in Stage 2.

The four teams that win their relegation battle will join Stage 1’s top twelve teams in Stage 2. At the end of Stage 2, the top eight will compete in the Playoffs for prize money and CWL Champs seeding. Making it into Stage 2 also holds particular importance: ALL 16 teams from Stage 2 will automatically qualify for CWL Champs 2017.

Everyone has a chance to sign up, but according to CWL site, only a select amount of teams, based upon CWL Pro Points standings, will actually get to compete.

https://www.callofduty.com/esports/story/2016-06/Road_to_Champs_2016

Clay is not in the same tier as Formal/octane this year. The fact that you referred to him as "current world champion MVP" just goes to show that this isn't his game. Formal is MVP of Anaheim, the most recent tournament and one that is more relevant here than last years Cod Champs

Edit: not saying that he can't be but just that he isn't right now

Edit: Last season Formal's KD was 1.21, Octane had a 1.19, and Clay had a 1.05. Formal also had the best kills per respawn at 20.8, highest SPM, etc. https://www.callofduty.com/esports/league/na/stats/player

The 2 new Specialists:
Battery:

• War Machine – This grenade launcher fires time-fused bouncing frag grenades which explode on contact with an enemy.
  
• Kinetic Armor – Charged electrically-reactive armor that sublimates enemy bullets on contact, turning them into a vapor which dissipates harmlessly.
  

Spectre:

• Ripper – Spectre deploys mono-edged twin blades before gracefully dissecting victims with lethal, surgical precision.
• Advanced meta-materials rapidly change their properties, guiding photons over their surfaces instead of reflecting them, rendering Spectre temporarily invisible

Not correct. CoD is putting up 600k. https://twitter.com/MrAdamAp/status/582337802295066625

Halo is putting up 250k. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/halo-championship-series-season-2-announcements

And then there is CoD's YouTube and streaming scene which crush Halo's numbers resulting in more money. It's not even close, actually.

Lastly just blindly saying "I bet the finals of the HCS for H5 are 500k!" is dumb. And even then there will be CoD champs around that time for twice that.

No, /u/therealmanbeast is right, the team you attend Relegation with is your league team, you can't make changes after that.

Page 14:

> Roster submitted for PL Stage 2 Relegation will be used for PL Stage 2 Regular Season.

So yeah, from this comment EG only has 4 days, 5 hours and 45 minutes to finalize their Stage 2 roster.

Merk said 9 days ago (which is nov 27th) that there isnt a multiplier being used for open bracket pro points for regions.

But the CWL Handbook was last updated nov. 29th and it says this:

https://www.callofduty.com/content/dam/atvi/callofduty/esports-new/articles/2018_CWL_Handbook.pdf

> In Global Opens and select Sanctioned Events, an exchange rate will be used to convert Teams’ CWL Pro Points for the sole purpose of seeding the Open Bracket Teams. The exchange rate for each Region will be based on the Team with the most Points from each Region in the Open Bracket at the roster lock time for the Competition Event.

Not sure if that is what the nov. 29th changed but maybe that is it?

https://www.callofduty.com/esports/story/2016-12/cwl-ps4-2017-season-details

There's a section explaining it. Starts April 20th for four weekends of separate pool plays. Then the playoffs begin after the four weekend. Another article said its similar to CSGO ESL

What makes it better is because it's LAN!

With the LAN League's current setup I don't really care to be honest. As an European I'll be lucky if I can watch 1 series a day without fucking up my sleep schedule assuming the time the 1st series start doesn't change compared to the BO3 league. Add the fact that it isn't a true league where everyone plays every other team but instead it's 4 groups of 4 and honestly it's just a glorified international LAN event IMO.

Looks like OpTic got forfeited against LG. Their match from yesterday now says 1-3 for LG, and OpTic now has 5 losses in the standings. https://www.callofduty.com/esports/match/na20160621m4, https://www.callofduty.com/esports/league/na/standings

This is the shit I love. Really well done stats, stuff that neither 3rd party stat team could have gotten, and the site is well optimized.

One thing that is a bit of a let down is the lack of statistics per map, team vs team stats, and some other stuff.

But overall it is wonderful, I really like the team based stats too. https://www.callofduty.com/esports/team/optic-gaming/stats

If they could make those team based stats into a table like the player based stuff, that'd be sick. Great to see how stats has progressed over the past few years, great to see. With this, what the EU ESL guy is doing, it's looking good.

Stage 1

"Stage 1 will consist of nine North America teams, six European teams and one Asia/Pacific team, and all travel and accommodations for qualifying teams will be covered. Each player will collect over $3,000 as part of the regular season prize pool of $200,000. Make it through your pool and you can compete for an additional $500,000. This means Stage 1 will total a whopping $700,000 in total prizes. All prizing is subject to all applicable rules and eligibility requirements for the Global Pro League.

The 16 teams will be split into four pools, and starting April 20, four back-to-back weekends of competitive play will take place. Each weekend will be devoted to one pool at a time – the top two teams from each pool will advance to the playoffs, the third place team won’t make playoffs but will earn a spot in Stage 2, while the fourth place team will go to the Relegation Playoffs happening just before the CWL Anaheim Open. More news on the relegation playoffs to follow.

The Stage 1 Playoffs are set to take place May 25-28 when the top eight teams go head to head in a double elimination bracket."

Oxford and other universities are top tier. They do innovate. People often spread this idea we are somehow so far ahead, but we aren't

This is the CWL Handbook from 2018 but I assume it's still the same? I could be wrong and if someone could provide a more updated CDL handbook, that would be great.

5.1. Sponsorships

Teams and/or Players may acquire sponsorships. Administration reserves the right to restrict sponsor involvement in CWL activities, and all sponsorships are subject to approval. Teams and Players may inquire as to whether a sponsor is permissible by contacting the Administration at . The following sponsor categories will not be allowed for any Participant participating in the CWL:

...

• Gambling, including websites that offer gambling

Link: https://www.callofduty.com/content/dam/atvi/callofduty/esports-new/articles/2018_CWL_Handbook.pdf

I'm not trying to be "that" guy, but like...if there is a rule for this, then why wasn't it applied/an official statement made? Because now if Crim does a vape sponsorship or Simp does a porno ad, how are the league meant to apply rules then?

Here is the link to the parental consent. Upvotes for this comment would be appreciated so everyone is aware. Anyone under 18 needs to have this signed by parents to participate, so it is kind of important! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7P_GkWld-nIQ0JBbkhpc3J2c041eHFNZHZOT2ZZekVpckZj/edit?usp=sharing

It's not that. Other teams have finally stopped making mistakes. That's literally what EG does they play of mistakes. Lets not forget the luck they get as well. That blitz could have gone bad if Aches did more with that god lucky motel spawn. He spawned behind 2 players at motel when EG were spawn trapped. Its so jammy and flukey the better team still won.

EDIT: I hate people who dont use in game specifics to back up their points. But this was my very first post ever on reddit It's worth a read for my opinion on coL(EG) https://www.reddit.com/r/OpTicGaming/comments/257ex4/is_optic_just_a_choke_team/

EDIT: That thread was removed so it wont show my thread but i screenshotted it here http://gyazo.com/a978ef50fd6d7093bd39fb9ca02d9a20

I can't find the CDL rules, but the Challengers rules basically says this isn't an option (emphasis mine):

>6.3 Challengers LAN Stoppage of Play. Players may not end a Game under any circumstances without approval from Administration. Failure to abide by this rule may result in a penalty. In the event of a Player disconnect, Administration will determine whether the Game is to be replayed on a case-by-case basis. In the event of a server crash or host drop, the Administration will determine whether Team(s) were at fault. In the event that the Team(s) were found to be at fault, the offending Team may be subject to penalty. In the event that the Team(s) were not at fault, the Game will be restarted as laid out in Section 6.12.

>6.7 Disconnections. If a Player disconnects within the first thirty (30) seconds and/or before the first kill, the game should be ended. All players must leave the game and restart the game. If a player disconnects after the first thirty seconds (30) and/or the first kill, the game must be continued and the disconnected Player should rejoin the game. If the team with the disconnected Player leaves the lobby, their team may forfeit the round/game in question. The Administration reserves the right to make the final decision in any disconnect situations.

https://www.callofduty.com/content/dam/atvi/callofduty/esports-new/2020-rules/Challengers_Official_Rules.pdf

I would assume it's similar for the CDL games.

Glad to hear it, the fact that the schedule tab in the call of duty esports site is just an article with pictures of the schedule is kind of bad honestly.

https://www.callofduty.com/esports/story/2019-01/Pro_League_Schedule

It does:

6.2.Roster SubmissionTeam Owners or Managers are responsible for submitting a Team Roster. No Roster submissions will be accepted unless made by Team Owners or Managers. All Roster submissions must be approved in writing by Administration before taking effect. In order to fielda player from theirSubstitute Roster during the Regular Season Teams must submit their request to the Administration a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours prior to the start of the corresponding week’s matches. If no change requests are submitted then Teams will be required to field their Active Roster for that week’s matches. Emergency substitutions may be made at the sole discretion of the Administration.Teams are only permitted to make a Substitute request for an entire week of Regular Season play. Unless otherwise explicitly permitted by the Administration, Teams will not be permitted to field a Substitute from match to match.

So what is this an emergency situation? How does LG get to make a change mid week while other teams obviously couldn't?

Hm, Let's see... TL;DR:

​

Games were played, find stats here and records here.

Teams of the weeks were:

Week 1: Simp, Aches, Brack, Gunless, Mettalz

Week 2: Dashy, Slasher, Tommey, MajorManiak, Temp

​

Rising teams:

eUnited looked good at 3-1 and Simp played great. Midnight surprised with a 2-2 record and a victory over 100 Thieves, many had them at 0-4 in a free fall; Saints had a week.

​

Falling teams:

Luminosity didn't look like the event champs. Optic played a 3-1 week but is probably not happy with it.

​

100T vs Optic:

100T vs. Optic match was good. Hardpoint was good, SnD was mostly 100 Thieves in A bomb site, 100T won Control in a 2-3 fashion but it was really won in round 2. Ultimately 100T came away with a good victory to help their confidence and Optic will re-watch it for lessons learned.

Gentlemen's Agreements are banned, it's just that it's impossible for Activision to enforce the rule unless they have hard proof that players are banning stuff by GA. If pros keep their GAs in their private conversations and nobody leaks it there's nothing Activision can do.

Here's the rule from the 2019 CWL Handbook:

> 6.1. Cheating

> ...
Participants shall not conduct or promote any act of collusion. Collusion is defined as any agreement among two (2) or more Participants and/or persons to disadvantage other Participants.

> Collusion includes, but is not limited to, acts such as:

> * Soft play, which is defined as any agreement among two (2) or more Participants to not damage, impede, or otherwise play to the best of their ability in a Game; * Agreeing to a ruleset outside the Rules; * Pre-arranging to split prize money and/or any other form of compensation with something other than on a Participant’s own Team; * Sending or receiving signals, electronic or otherwise, from a confederate to/from a Participant during Competition play; * Deliberately losing a Game, detrimentally altering performance for compensation or for any other reason, or attempting to induce another Participant to do so.

Nope here's the cwl rules

> 3.3.5 ...In order to switch from one Region to another, a Player must forfeit all CWL Pro Points earned in their current Region.

Pic from a link to the rules at the bottom of this site

This is pretty much all we know. You earn pro points from GBs and CWL tournaments. Pro points determine who gets invited to events and tournament seeding. The LAN "league" (screenshot) isn't a regular round robin like it was in BO3. It's basically two tournaments with poolplays with a relegation/promotion in between. It's rumoured that teams will travel back and fourth each week to play a round of poolplay.

It's too early to judge properly yet but IMO I guess it's more quality/quantity. There'll be a lot more matches between the best teams internationally but viewers miss out on that regional weekly stream like they had starting this time last year. Having matches on LAN is great for competition but it would've been 10x better if they kept the everyone plays everyone format like they had last year. We don't really get to see all the match ups we'd like and final placings will be affected by who drew who in pools. E.g. the APAC team could fly out to Ohio, lose games vs Optic, Rise and Envy, fly back, do that for a month and then be relegated via one relegation match. With a round robin they could test themselves against everyone which is what the advantage of an international league should be. We could properly see how the regions compare with teams ranked 1-16 via LAN, and still have a championship bracket after it. Now the league is like a couple extra champs', as if we need more at the cost of the leagues we had last year. I'm a bit peeved this is the exact route they took because I was so excited when I first heard "Global LAN League" but hey maybe it'll make sense once we get more info. Hopefully there's more for the teams left behind in the regions to do to; that's a concern of a lot of people now that there's no regional leagues like last year. Maybe there'll be some online leagues for those teams? That's my wishful thinking.

Yeah they can only meet again in Losers round 5 (top 4) or further.

Edit: Optic could play Faze/Envy in losers round 4 if the winner of them loses to Splyce/Fabe.

You can find them under the match recaps on callofduty.com/esports For example FaZe vs CLG: https://www.callofduty.com/esports/match/na20160308m1a

Just go to the schedule and you can see the stats from the match results there but I don't think there's a centralized places with all of these stats consolidated on the official website.

i don't know if this is against the rules but Dexerto is streaming OG game (not the greatest quality) but they do at: https://www.younow.com/Dexerto

FaZe Fans: Follow @Bricetacular he is posting the map counts for FaZe

Edit: OG vs H2k first map is stronghold HP

There is someone named Les (PathosLC), and Nick (nickfowler99) who are part of the original team who are still on CETV. The other 9 of us left. They also have a few members who were the first group of people we picked up, that is Del, and Jordan (he does the social media stuff for them now).

I believe cod_stats have not missed a map, I trust the guys who have been doing it for a few months, and OBS over a group of guys who only recently started doing it. https://twitter.com/CETVStats/status/489553658116595712. You can look at each stat teams map counts for each player and see for yourself who is missing stats.

Welcome to the world of Android! It might seem daunting at first, but it's really not. The great thing about Android is the unlimited possibilites thanks to third party apps. The first thing you should know about are launchers. Launchers are basically the framework for the UI for the phone. So different launchers can affect how many apps are in your dock, the spacing of your apps on your screen, etc. The most popular launcher is nova launcher. I use this one too, and I like it the best. But feel free to try out some different ones to see what you like.

You can also get some different icon packs too, to affect the look of your device. /r/androidthemes has a lot of great inspiration and resources for different icon packs, wallpapers, etc.

You can also get different apps for the messaging, camera, etc. A lot of people use hangouts for SMS messaging but another popular one is Textra. It is really clean, highly customizable, and has a great UI.

I don't really play too much games, so I couldn't really help you out there, but the sub /r/androidgaming is awesome and you can find a shitload of resources there for that. Also, the sub /r/androidapps is great for finding new apps. I found most of what I use there. And of course /r/android is awesome too.

Just sort of a PSA here. The official Reddit app had released on Android and iOS. So, for all you mobile users that want to give it a shot I'll link it. It also gives you 3 months of gold free when you sign in on the app. I'm not a huge fan, but some of you might prefer it. If not, at least you'll get free gold.

Google Play

iTunes

Edit: some words

Really? I mean I know the OG guys all extensively test possible partners and only take the very top ones. Thats why they only have 2 sponsors and got rid of Gaems because they didn't use it. Thats what Hecz always says, they only have sponsorships from products they use. Then again I've never used it so I can't say.

Edit: IGN seems to like it http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/10/lagbuster-review

During Activision's Q32016 Earnings Call, Thomas Tippl (ATVI COO) discussed the success and growth the company is seeing in its MLG division. Per the transcript (available here)

In our games, our proprietary video player and GameBattles will soon be integrated with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and will allow fans easy access to Call of Duty World League in professional play, as well as amateur competitions.

I think people jumped to the conclusion "integrated" = built-in. I noticed in the Q42016 transcript they mentioned:

We accelerated our e-sports efforts with the integration of Major League Gaming, the formation of the Call of Duty World League, and the announcement of the Overwatch League.

I think the integration just meant they would include IW ladders in the GameBattles site.

I need some help with a marketing project im working on, It'd really help me out if i got a few more outsider opinions, so if you see this post please take this survey :)

This is from 2020 challengers, but this has been the rule for the entirety of the CDL.

“Players may not end a game under any circumstances”

“Deliberate and repeated team killing or commuting suicide on purpose to gain an advantage is not allowed”

“Team changing in-game is not allowed”

I actually had the same concern, but CSGO has very small minimum requirements for PCs. I used this site and found that I could run CS. The game runs surprisingly smooth on my crappy laptop, so you should be good.

The Call of Duty Twitch channel is streaming a rebroadcast of the matches today and you can watch the matches from the Twitch broadcast of today's matches here.

You're an idiot. Here's proof that Karma was hosting vs. LG. 5:54:33

Yes I do repeat myself in comments because I'm talking to different people in each comment. Not everybody reads every comment in a given thread, therefore it's necessary to repeat myself from time to time. You're too dumb to even understand this basic fact.

I also find it incredibly sad you read my post and all the comments and still come to the conclusion that I think host wasn't an issue. It's like your reading comprehension is at an 8 year old level.

G2A is probably the best place, I think its $50 for the day zero addition. Some one on the AW subreddit posted a picture of a conversation he had with one of the live support agents, and they said the keys would be sent out 1-2 days before release so you get time to preload.

Here's the rule from the Handbook https://www.callofduty.com/content/dam/atvi/callofduty/esports-new/2019-rules/2019_Pro_League_HB.pdf

> A “Team Owner” is defined as any person who directly or indirectly owns or has any financial, ownership, management, control (including voting rights) and/or other interest in a Team. A Team Owner is only entitled to own one Team in the PL. If a Team Owner has such rights in more than one Team in the PL, then in addition to any other rights or remedies Administration has under the Handbook or these PL Rules, the Team Owner must immediately divulge any and all pertinent information relating to such right to the Administration, and must also either decline an invitation to the PL on behalf of all but one of the Teams in the PL or divest all of such Team Owner’s interest in all but one of the Teams in the PL immediately.

Also, page 11 of the rule book

It's only the t12 placings from S2 that matter according to the announcement. I guess it's to avoid something like that happening.

>Any top-12 team that does not retain the majority of its roster will be replaced by teams with the highest amount of combined CWL Pro Points from the 2018 season.

And here's the written rules: https://gyazo.com/fadffd2c3292c079ffc47877aa641631 from here: https://www.callofduty.com/content/dam/atvi/callofduty/esports-new/articles/2018_CWL_Pro_League_Official_Rules.pdf

Thanks. Yes it will most likely be streamed on https://www.twitch.tv/cgplevent otherwise we will have a backup channel for it. We also have CS:GO, SMITE and Rocket League being played at the event with roughly $40,000 in prizes across all titles.

Here: https://www.callofduty.com/uk/en/esports/story/2017-02/CWL_2017_SeasonDetails

So where S1 in BO3 was a continuous online league for each region lasting ~12 weeks, 2 matches per team a week for ~34 teams it's been condensed into 4 LAN weekends for 16 teams globally. Instead of every team playing every other team in their region there's 4 mixed pools, one pool per weekend. Each team only plays the other three teams in their pool twice. That's the IW S1 "regular season" equivalent. Then whereas S1 in BO3 had a LAN finals for each region it'll be one LAN final for the 8 teams that come 1st and 2nd in the pools.

So basically the IW LAN league S1 and S2 is a lot closer to two more events like Atlanta or Champs than the BO3 league.

This year the 'continuous' part of IW is having more regular 2Ks and LAN events. Every tournament up until S1 cut off dishes out pro points so it sort of makes the tournaments the actual league, while making the league into tournaments, if you get me.

Straight from the rules site, ~~sorry but no formatting~~ formatting is fine already, yay. I'm heading off.:

1. Group Play Ranking (1st-4th) will be determined using each Team’s Record of Matches won and lost.

2. Group Play Standings ties will be broken using Head to Head Match Winning Percentage (Group Play Matches Won vs. Tied Teams / Group Play Matches Played vs. Tied Teams).

3. If Head to Head Match Winning Percentage can’t break a tie, Head to Head Gaming Winner Percentage (Group Play Games Won vs. Ties Teams / Group Play Games Played vs. Tied Teams) will be used to break the tie.

4. If Head to Head Game Winning Percentage can’t break a tie, Overall Game Winning Percentage (Group Play Games Won / Group Play Games Played) will be used to break the tie.

5. The higher number will win all of the aforementioned tiebreakers.

6. If the aforementioned Tiebreakers can’t break a tie for 3rd place, the tie will be broken by Group Play Seed with the higher seed winning the Tiebreaker. The highest seed is 1.

7. If the aforementioned Tiebreakers can’t break a tie for 1st place or 2nd place, the tied Teams will be scheduled to play a Best of 1 Game Round Robin tiebreaker. The Tiebreaker Game Mode will be Search and Destroy. For the Map, see CoD Champs 2016 – Game Types in Rounds. After each Team has played all other tied Teams in the Tiebreaker Game Type, their records of Games Won and Games Lost will be used to break the tie. If there is still a tie that can’t be broken by the aforementioned tiebreakers, an additional Best of 1 Game Round Robin Tiebreaker(s) will be played until the tie can be broken.

8. If there is a tie involving more than two teams and a Tiebreaker resolved the tie for a Team(s), but leaves at least two Teams tied, the tie(s) that remains will be broken by starting over with the Head to Head Match Winning Percentage Tiebreaker.

One was coL (who then got a forfeit win vs. DT in the same week)... I believe the other was H2k... I'll double check.

Edit: Hmmm... their schedule only shows one loss by forfeit. The other losses are to Rise, H2K, and Envy, but all have map scores, so not sure what the answer is.

This was in a 3v3 gb match about a week ago. Sorry for the star wars music... I added as a joke between my friends. Also I don't have a capture card so sorry about the quality.

First of all, the spelling and grammar need some improvement. Aside from reading through it multiple times yourself or having someone else check it, there are a few sites online that might interest you.

Hemingway is a website that checks the readability of your writing. It will highlight phrases or words that could be shortened, are too passive, are too long, etc. It doesn't check your spelling or grammar, but it will improve your writing style.

If you want to correct your spelling and grammar, there are a ton of sites online that you can try until you find one that suits you. By improving your writing, you'll find that it's much easier to convey your thoughts to people because they are only focusing on the content rather than the way you've written it.

Well to be fair Asyliuss added a grey circle to the design, but its listed under his "Sold Logos".( https://www.behance.net/gallery/14402093/Sold-Logos ) I would hope that if they legit bought the rights to use the logo out of respect for his fellow designer he would at least site it. I could be wrong sounds like #Dramaalert to me ;)

I recommend you watch some design tutorials on YouTube. Guys like Evan Eckard, Stratzeh, etc. Learn techniques from them and apply it. I started just like you with stuff like this. Keep practicing and eventually you will get better. In 2 or so years I've started to make stuff like this. Good luck dude.

He also said that they sell an upgraded version that can support the 120 hz but I don’t have much knowledge on that. If you’re interested, here’s the monitor I currently have for my ps5!

LG UltraGear 24GL600F-B 24 Inch... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NHSJ1RF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

https://www.amazon.com/eXtremeRate-Programable-Controller-Redesigned-Attachment/dp/B095GYHFX2?ref_=ast_sto_dp The video how to do it is on YouTube, you can skip the first 11 minutes if you’re not going to soder

I also wasn’t planning on buying the packs because they’re so expensive. For a headset I can recommend you Turtle beach ear buds. I have them and they’re really good quality for a good price.

yea, it's a bit bulky. I bought this while my scuf was broken and my battle beaver was still being built, it was alright.

I heard this one was a bit slimmer and was almost as good. I might try this one instead. it's only 18$

I currently have the LG 24GM79G-B. Absolutely love it. It has extremely low input lag (I think around 2-3ms) and goes up to 144Hz. It's a very good monitor for gaming and it's very cheap. I'm thinking of getting the newer version which also supports HDMI 2.0/144Hz and it's only around $200. LG 24GL650-B

These would personally be my choices for you if you're not looking to spend too much

Yeah. Here's one I personally see recommended a lot.

Okay so my monitor is pretty outdated, I think its 5ms response and just old as fuck. Trying to find a new one but I'm on a tight budget. I have some Amazon gift cards from Christmas and I was looking at this Benq - https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GL2460BH-Monitor-Technology-Speaker/dp/B07GF2ZR8G/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1545844190&sr=1-2-fkmr0&keywords=BenQ+ZOWIE+24+Inch+RL2455+1080p+60hz+1ms+LED+Gaming+Monitor - Is this a good buy? Thanks guys :)

Scufs (and any any other customized controllers like Battlebeaver etc.) are prone to this issue. Why? Because people that aren't Sony technicians are essentially prying your default DS4 apart and sewing it back together with all kinds of fancy new buttons and wiring soldered in. Things are bound to break, build quality is bound to be crap, longevity is bound to be short. Happens all the time with these things and it's almost depressing that professionals continue shouting them out and holding sponsorships with them and whatnot. Some are better than others, Scuf seems to be the worst and that's probably due to controllers being in high demand and they get rush built to be sent out quickly.

If you have a regular DS4, or desperately want to troubleshoot your crappy 3rd party customizations, try taking off the front panel of the controller, and blowing out the thumbstick area with compressed air.

Alternatively, if you're a bit mechanically inclined, you can pick up a multi-pack of (DS4 stick modules)[https://www.amazon.com/Joystick-Thumbstick-Controller-PlayStation-Replacement/dp/B06XH1NTFY/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=ds4+stick+module&qid=1561926892&s=gateway&sr=8-2] for 5 bucks a pack off Amazon and you can find them in many other places. Replace them yourself.

Glad a thread like this has popped up so i can ask will this monitor https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Gaming-VG27AQ-Monitor-Adaptive-Sync/dp/B07VTPKCLS be ok for me to get the most out of the xbox series x while having low input delay?

This is the one I’m currently using and I’ve had it since early WW2 cod release and I love it. I’m not sure of other brands or monitors but there’s a blue light filter that I use for late night gaming to put less stress on my eyes and that’s a main reason why I like this monitor so much, I’m glad I was able to help bro!
