It's that time of the week again, our GosuGamers' Overwatch weeklies are back and due to all the great feedback we have gathered from all the players and viewers we are changing our map draft system.
New map draft rules:
• Map selection for the series is to be done by a map draft on http://owdraft.com - either team captain creates the draft and links it to the opposing team.
• Draft tool settings: Starting team = Random
• Teams take turns banning maps until 3 maps are left (5 for a bo5 series) - the remaining 3 or 5 maps will make up the map pool used for the series - teams will then continue banning until there is only 1 map left - that map will be the first one played in the series - the team that went second in the drafting process will get to choose the starting side (attack or defense) for the first map
• For game 2 and onwards the loser of the previous map will choose the next map from the map pool that was determined in the map draft and the winner of the previous map will get to choose the starting side - each map can only be played once in a series
We're very excited to see how these play out and see everyone's reaction!
