Deadlock Night Shift

....

@Mootmonthly We run into timing issues with production having way too long of a day if we don't cap at 8 maps sadly. As is, an 8 map day can often be as long as 9 and a half hours. A potential 9 map day would theoretically be pushing as long as 11.

@DLNightShift BO5 would awesome just do one anyways

Shift #47 approaches, and it comes with a few unique twists and turns. EU sees a roster shake up with Empty Dreams joining Leviathan, and Sharyk returning to competition with Abrahams. Meanwhile in NA, BWC, GC, WIP, and the new Hydration team were all unavailable, which makes MLC vs FPSL the main attraction this week!

Shift 46 approaches, and in it we see two newly minted champions in Abrahams and Melee Creeps look to defend the throne. EU has the return of Leviathan after a one week hiatus, and in NA we see Get Candy take the stage once more after getting through WIP in qualifiers. Will the meta look more refined with an extra week of practice? Gotta clock in tomorrow to find out!

What an absolutely amazing day of games in Night Shift. The NA Finals was a rollercoaster from beginning to end with some of the most fun storylines we've covered. Deadlock is awesome, and very much the future.

Only in Deadlock does a minor patch bring forth a new objective AND a slew of changes. Just in time for your 45th Shift tomorrow. EU sees a new face with familiar names on the block in Oblivion make their debut, and meanwhile in NA BWC makes a run back after a close set vs GC in the qualifier. As far as how the games are going to play out on the new patch? Gotta clock in tomorrow to find out!

Shift 44 is coming your way tomorrow, and it's with a new face in EU and a new champion in NA. Sneaky Team powered by Oses was able to get past Leviathan 2-1 in our EU Qualifier this week. Meanwhile in NA, can FPS Lounge prove last week was more than a one and done? Gotta clock in to find out. (P.S. Sneaky Team was so sneaky our planned announce didn't even post. Incredible).

What's new in Shift #43? How about the return of Buff Enjoyers? LKW embracing their roots bringing back one of the most OG brands in all of Deadlock. NA meanwhile is a runback of last week after FPSL was able to get through WIP during qualifiers! (Note: With the new patch, expect Holliday to be present this week...)

By far the funniest statline of the new patch is how Silver's win rate drastically increased in Eternus+ when flavor of the month players stopped playing her LOL. (3.09% win rate increase, with a 7.2% pick rate decrease).

Our Tuesday team announcement will have a legendary team return from Deadlock's past. Which team? You'll just have to wait and see!

Holy shit.

Another new patch beckons another new Shift. Clock in tomorrow to see the latest version of the Urn changes brought to competitive scrutiny! Also seeing the new merged FPS Lounge / Floormen team for the first time in NA as they take on Bird with Clock in the hopes of reaching Melee Creeps once more. (Note: WIP was invited back, but unable to play this week.)

@lessxanxero Floormen were invited, but are currently on a break week.

@DLNightShift Floormen?

The Night Shift Open may be over, but your regularly scheduled Shift is still on schedule! EU sees the full appearance of the top 3 of the Night Shift Open. Whereas NA looks to see if Melee Creeps can defend the throne after an Urn'ed victory last week. How will it all pan out? Gotta clock in to find out! (P.S. Melee Creeps has a mystery sub for Eido...)

NEVER SHOW FEAR NO MATTER THE ODDS
