Halo 5: Guardians |OT3| Ball Dropped

Yeah, but I mean this is arguably one of the largest stages for any of these people, an actual LAN not online tournament. X-Games, chance at a medal, even though prize only $30k. Ninja had been feeling pretty down after getting dropped from Liquid and then having Commonly bail to EG. They officially become Renegades and he dominates his old org with his official new one at X-Games. 19k viewers on twitch during 4pm pst/7pm est on a Thursday.

Dangit. Things got busy at work so i was only able to half pay attention to the Team Liquid/Renegades matches. Saw Ace try and pull his team back, but not enough.

Pretty good!
And this is not counting the people who watch it through ESPN
That would be logical and generate hype for sure.
Or the req pack sales slowed downI wanted to see it get to 3 mil but it hasn't even hit 2.5 yet.
I'd say that's doubtful - hopefully they're not just hoarding hahah.
Mainly yeah, these are the teams that qualified. Some teams missed out that are still up there though. CLG, EG and Allegiance are definitely top 3 right now though.
Perfection once again. Had to make a GIF of that.
I wish they'd just have a live counter on Waypoint somewhere. Not a fan of the generic bumps they give to the prize pool.
Valve did that with Dota and I'd love to see it with Halo, but feel like 343 don't have a specific percentage in mind lol.
dozens
You gotta get your nerd on I guess
Pretty good!
Wow, it was at 10k last time I checked. Really good viewership. Summ1t's consistant view count is cray cray. Like someone said, slip him some of that REQ money lmao.
Man, the presentation has been top notch. I guess it's the ESPN effect. They really inform the user of what goes on behind the scenes; which is a huge part of what makes this stuff interesting. I hope this quality carries over to online cups. There's no reason it can't if you ask me.

P.S Let's GO EG!

Poor non-NA teams going up against the top teams in their first series.
Yup, and expected (outside of Liquid's sweep). 1st rounds of brackets are almost always lopsided.
The Liquid sweep wasn't really unexpected.
RNG are a damn good team who can hang with Allegiance, EG and CLG. Liquid are pretty mid tier at the moment.
Depends on who you ask (like the casters thought it may go to 5 games), but definitely not now. It's just hard to know what a team is after such a short period of time. RNG proved themselves today on LAN and hopefully continue to do so this weekend.
Oddball would be great right about now. I would love to see what kind of setups these pros can come up with to hold the ball on these maps.
If you've been paying attention to scrims and the online tourneys it's been pretty obvious that RNG is clearly the better team.
