Wake up to a bunch of drama from the Jay 3 event regarding console teams / players. Feel free to send me any info on those involved here or on discord and we will take action as well.
This type of conduct doesn’t belong in tournaments.
Very disappointed with the Xbox t2 community today. Have lost (and will lose more after the season ends) good staff from the abuse towards staff. The fact that it puts this much of a toll on their mental from the abuse is disgusting. Stop tearing your community apart.
WOOOOOOOOO
Now the real question, can console play and if they can are they allowed to make LAN?
The blog post doesn't seem to mention (unless I missed it).
Just wanted to put this context here for people passing by. We sat down with the team and had the player they were accusing prove live they are legit.
The accusing team agrees now they were wrong. Let's put this matter behind us, no need to be rude to them.
CGL is a complete joke of an org. They let console players play in PC tournament who are well known ximmers on smurfs that obviously plug in xim and use mouse and keyboard with hard aimlock as soon as they go 2-0 down. Corrupt admins are their friends so won't stop it.
Seems there is a new Overwatch exploit going around where people are crashing games they are about to lose.
Example:
This is at least one of the people confirmed doing it
@PlayOverwatch
@BlizzardCS
@Jay3OW
I think every new hero should be at least slightly OP at launch.
1. Get people to play the new hero
2. Find out what makes them strong right off the bat
Now you can argue where the line between crazy OP vs slightly is but I think leaning on the side of strong at launch is good
WOOOOOOOOO

I'm just going to put this out there. If your friends don't hold you accountable when you mess up, they aren't your friends at all. A true friend tries to help you be a better person.
I get at this point I'm probably a broken record, but I don't think I could even throw and lose this much. I queue and my team gets rolled every match where they refuse to play meta and the other team always does. Sigh
Night Rider has been removed from CGL Staff and banned from CGL for telling his T2 team to throw their placements to remain in t2 and not move to t3 (Sandbagging).

@jetsettwork
That’s good. I’m glad to hear his friends even realize that it’s messed up. Some would blindly defend them. I will also mention if you’re trying to leave earlier most airlines now have no change fees on flights.
We've hit 10k in our Console OW server.
Thanks for sticking with us and being one of the people fighting to give players a place to play.
@ConsoleGamingLG
I hope everyone enjoyed the CGL Turkey Tussle Event.
A lot of people worked hard on it. It was our first OW 2 event AND our first PC event.
Not everything was perfect but I think it went pretty well. A lot of staff also stepped up when I get to go to a funeral last [cont]

tldr the admins changed the rules of the series mid series and what was supposed to be a first to 4 they made a first to 3 and immediately ended the game 3-0 when the other team had been beginning the process of a reverse sweep when it was 3-2.
Phew thats a wrap. Thank you to everyone that has signed up for the CGL OW Season. I look forward to making it an experience for everyone. If there is anything we can do to make your experience better just let us know. Please bare with me if there are any growing pains.
@Coach_Spilo
Console career profiles have been broken since launch, there is also another one that drops frames massively that has also existed since launch. Only fix is to restart the game.
Another season in the books for CGL OW.
We try to learn and grow a bit with each one to make things better. There is a lot upcoming that I can't wake to talk about.
Look forward to being able to share it with everyone soon.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🦃
With Cross-Play being announced for Overwatch, we are happy to announce that our upcoming season will feature cross-play!
Which console will take the prize?
I’ve gotten a few questions on how i am, don’t wont people to get too worried. I went into the ER and have been admitted to the hospital for a few days. Currently stable and working to recover. (Thanks to those that sent kind words)

@hopesisagod
stream for 26 viewers after a tournament match to then be immediately insulted about my appearance?
And to think I was one of the ones that advocated to give him another chance when unbanning him.
Reformed btw.
@EskayOW
There really is nothing truly like it. The game isn't perfect by any means but I think we are going in a positive direction overall. Nothing can be worse than the 2 years of no updates, if I can survive that I can survive anything.
@owpathtopro
So what are you doing to make sure this doesn't happen again?
This isn't the first time T2 has been put through the ringer by bad communication and on the fly changes.
It's a great feeling to plan and execute events, but man do console overwatch events feel like everyone always wants to tear everything down in front of you for no good reason. It's really hardened me as a person and impossible to give out any form of trust.
@Rizza_ow3
If anything it will make more people come back. Cheaters in games naturally make people leave or quit the game, then the only people left are the ones you don't want.
If high elo console needs a proper reset then that's what it takes.
Been working on a growing list of those that throw games, mnk, ddos (both threaten and actually do), harass etc. If you have any to add shoot them my way (DM) with some "proof". Will be useful for the future.

- Making the platform more usable

I get excited for our next OW MTT while planning it and then I see talk on the timeline that reminds me how much it usually stresses me out when running it. 🤞
OW 2 looks cool and all, but with no even remote date given and no mention of releasing new content for OW 1 this event has been a disappointment, sadly as expected.
So for the first time in quite awhile I am LFT. Kinetix decided it was in our best interest to take a break as a unit. Everyone on the team was the best people I could have ever asked to captain. So if anyone needs a support let me know.

How has the Overwatch community positively impacted YOUR life? 🤔🧡
We wanted to know how this amazing community has improved the lives of it's members... so we asked them!
Full version will be played Nov. 20th-21st during the Streamer Showdown.
@NRG_Cory
Yea like I don’t think the controller / console players mind not being able to play comp with PC players. We already can’t do that. But in casual modes there should be no reason to remove it. It makes me actively not want to play with friends on PC. (And I own a PC as well)
Since everyone is being sappy with OW 1 I might as well join the club.
Overwatch was the first game that I took "seriously". From being a game I bought on a 50% off sale to play with my cousin in 2016, continuing on after he stopped. Stumbling upon a server called OWXL (CGL) in
Thank you everyone for a wonderful 2023. We experimented with a lot of things on the CGL side this year, some successfully and some not but I think I can say we definitely improved on a lot of aspects this year.
The work never stops but i'm excited for what we can do in 2024

You are confusing two separate concepts. Equivalent rank in OW1 to OW2 are not the same skill wise because of the large increase in new players. What I posted is strictly the under the hood numbers comparison. Not a skill comparison.
Participated in the latest season of CGL? We want to hear from you. What worked well, what didn't and where can we improve? We aren't perfect and always want to make it better. If you have the time please fill this out and we can make it better together:
@NRG_Cory
Nah man it’s awful. Can’t even have a PC player spec a custom game without disabling AA for the whole lobby. Makes observing for tournaments a problem. Should really be input based for if you get it or not
