Hi there,
🎮 Welcome to The Friday GG!
Week 2 is complete and while it didn’t come without its hiccups we still saw the explosive start we were hoping for. We’re now looking towards next week, in which we’re excited to see the story lines build further, brand new match ups and hopefully more stable Rocket League servers! 🤣
“The clear highlight of the week was the successful deployment of our broadcast. By combining visually striking assets, refined production expertise, and in-depth caster insight, we once again elevated the standard of content in Irish esports.”
Whether you’re a player, team captain, or one of our curious followers watching from the sidelines, this weekly email will keep you looped in with everything Office Showdown! 💼
🔥 So what happened so far?
Rocket League unfortunately fell victim to one of those hiccups we mentioned earlier… Due to their game servers going down players worldwide were left unable to log in causing us to have to postpone the matches, however fear not the title will return on Monday in all it’s glory!
League of Legends saw a match up between Nativz Gaming and an all too familiar Mixed Alumni side, despite Wiglors best efforts on Ryze our roster fell short to the nimble fingers of the recent graduates.
Valorant brought further success to the Mixed Alumni nation, as they edged a tight 13-10 victory over Logitech G.
Counter-Strike 2 rolled around and GG Machines meant business, swiftly dropping a 13-0 on the heads of Logitech G presenting themselves as a force to be reckoned with.
🧠 What We Learned This Week
Having substitutes at the ready has been key in offsetting life pressures such as family commitments and working overtime impacting participation. Our subs have allowed us to ensure games can run effectively and on time.
Swapping game days (like Valorant & League) last-minute created some confusion and rightful frustration. We made this change with the best intentions to include as many teams as possible. From now on our schedule will remain the same throughout the rest of the pilot to avoid these issues.
📅 Solidified Schedule
Monday: Rocket League
Tuesday: League of Legends
Wednesday: Valorant
Thursday: Counter-Strike 2
