Talk:2019 Overwatch League season

Playoff Seeding
According the the OWL website, This contradicts the cited info in this article: Should we take what is taken on the OWL website as correct? Pbroks13 (talk) 15:02, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * "Six teams qualify directly for the Playoffs based on their regular season records."
 * "The top six season playoff teams will be determined by the same way they were in 2018; the top two teams from each division and the next four teams, regardless of division."
 * I don't necessarily see it as contradictory. Pulling the top two teams from each division is still using their regular season records. However, I'd wait until we get to the actual Stage 1 players in 3-4 weeks to verify. --M asem (t) 15:05, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * It's not necessarily a hard contradiction, but if the top six teams were from only the ATL or only the PAC division, these statements are not equivalent (although it is a very unlikely scenario). According to the OWL website, Stage Playoffs do indeed include the top two division leaders:
 * "Eight teams will qualify, including the two division leaders in that stage, along with the next six teams in the stage standings regardless of division."
 * So, that will unfortunately not give any insight into how the Season Playoff teams are determined. (On a side note, I also have this issue with the tiebreakers. There are situations where they haven't covered! Perhaps there is a rule book floating around somewhere?)
 * EDIT: Of course there is a rule book, here. I will have to read through it later today. Pbroks13 (talk) 15:27, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * "Division winners of each Stage will be awarded seeds one and two and the remaining Teams (regardless of Division) will receive seeds three through eight according to their Stage records. " under 5.7 about stage playoffs. If you got that off Blizzard's sites, we should include that as an EL for this page. --M asem (t) 15:30, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
