• p h a t, utterly stacked two top teams... and Full Tilt
  
• Debut of tryhard LEGO lineup that reached playoffs for the first time ever (forgot playoffs were only for top 3 back then)
  
• The best CIS only team (Serpents)
  
• Even the bottom teams were quite competitive (except Animate)
  
• A couple of legendary Product games (Sideshow 43 deaths vs. Serpents, Herr_P cap blunder)

Huh, when -adysky +spudd happened I wanted to joke about how K! are becoming Full Tilt 2.0, especially with that many Brits on the team, but now I guess this metamorphosis is actually happening...

Please be a game that I've already played for once so I can watch the show without the fear of getting spoiled... :)

(And further annihilate my sleeping hours)

The sniper/spy song was killer!

This is indeed the showdown between the contenders for the last playoff spot. aF have played two of the top teams already (7 and top5, both 6-0 losses), while Lowpander have only played one (K!, one 6-0 loss), so the current table is kinda skewed (and by the looks of it will keep this skew all the way until week 7 is done). Hopefully the single point aF dropped to Lemmings will not come to bite them in die Arsch. Will definitely be a game to watch.

Also: someone misspelled Arctic in the title again.

Thank fuck those four weeks are over, time for some actually close match ups!

X to the fuckin D

Why not just go in blind? I still remember my shitty lvl 50 marauder with like 7 active skills, good times.

From the Netherlands, too. Meme perfection.

All these new acts are actually "remixed" acts 1-5; you'll be going through mostly the same locales as you return to Wraeclast at the end of act 5, but they will look different, have different/new enemies and completely new story and locale progression to reflect your impact on the game world. This may seem lazy to some, but I think this is brilliant for a few reasons:

1. From a game production perspective, this is a massive boost to production time, and it looks like the currently map exclusive tilesets they've added in Atlas of Worlds were actually made to be used in these new "remixes".
   
2. In terms of story progression, as someone who's played through those three/four acts over and over again in the past years, I will be actually interested to see what happens in those places after the universe-impacting events in act 4 and (presumably) act 5, and I don't doubt that many PoE veterans feel the same way. (Again, to someone who picks up the game in 3.0 this may seem lazy - come on, I've seen these places already! Blatant asset recycling!)
   In terms of character development, Wraeclast has become a significant part of the exiles' lives and it made them the god-slaying machines that they are, so it makes sense that they are willing to return to it despite escaping their exile in act 5 (and I assume that not everything is peachy in Oriath). I do wonder if there still will be room to explore more of the PoE universe in future major expansions, though.
   
3. Two build defining moments currently revolve around having three difficulties and/or endgame - the bandit quest and the Labyrinth. Balancing those around two difficulties + endgame instead would've been pretty awkward, so they're doing away with the concept entirely since eventually eliminating difficulties was the plan to begin with.
   It will be interesting to see how they treat Lab though, as you will still only return once to its location in your playthrough. I'm guessing they'll change it to three ascendancy points for act 3/8 lab and keep two points for endgame. People who hate doing Lab will be very pleased. Bandit quest equivalents will probably be in acts 5 and 8.

Also, the details of Legacy league have been all but confirmed. You'll be able to run three leagues at once! Madness! I sure am glad to be going softcore next league. What a brilliant way to salute this era of PoE.

Where's "Twitch chat"?

Yeah, you just have to check from time to time until someone uploads them. Had they not uploaded it then [insert ETF2L prize pool joke here].
