SPEAKING OF THE GAUNTLET...
The pinnacle of the Contenders season will be the Gauntlet, which will be held from October 9–13 in a location to be announced soon.
Dates: October 9–13, 2019
Location: TBD
Tournament format: Groups to Double Elimination
The Gauntlet's tournament format will emphasize interregional competition for maximum excitement. We've scheduled it after the conclusion of the 2019 Overwatch League season, when teams will once again prepare to sign players for the following season
So can we completely nix Florida Mayhem OWL team (minus Saya) for their Academy team. Not only they're infinitely more marketable, but they would easily be a much competitive team than Florida.
The contenders stream has more viewers than the owl rerun.
WE DID IT
Can we take a second to talk about these numbers

Yeah, Chengdu just confirmed on twitter that the Aspen clip with slurs isn't the one the fines are for.Reddit is saying that that clip isn't YXL and isn't why he's being reprimanded, he's being reprimanded for making comments calling Aspen Ameng's second wife while all three were in the same game. Ameng apologized to Aspen on his behalf after the game and YXL is getting reprimanded for harassment. That's some other random dude(supposedly)
