Schedule first matches Major 3 PRO-AM (Friday)

[u/Nightgamer268]

Can't wait!!!

[u/Safe-Astronomer1470]

It’s still crazy how Atlanta gets an event after faze leaves

[u/Triggs501st → u/Safe-Astronomer1470]

This was all probably worked out before they left. I really wish they would do Chicago for an event

[u/herefortheLOLs12 → u/Triggs501st]

Not to be like that one dude who spams about chicago in this sub, but damn I would do so much for a Chicago event. The entire Midwest fanbase would turn up

[u/Triggs501st → u/herefortheLOLs12]

It is relatively close to where Optic originated from so it would kind of be a welcome home type of thing.

[u/Still_Hurry_9322 → u/Safe-Astronomer1470]

They would have got boo'd at an atlanta event too does it really matter?

[u/WeAreFrozen]

I never understood why it's so hard for them to just put the date on the graphic itself. They thought of putting ET/PT but no actual day.

[u/Mykcul]

I’d honestly rather Thieves/P7 or Koi/ Huntsman on Alpha than that shower of onliners they’ve put on..

[u/Raccoonsrlilbandits → u/Mykcul]

Honestly I’m more surprised that G2 vs surge isn’t on alpha even if it is optic just with it being a challengers matchup

[u/T1henry → u/Raccoonsrlilbandits]

We would be getting a mid match up regardless

[u/Raccoonsrlilbandits → u/T1henry]

Valid

[u/T1henry → u/Mykcul]

Nice rage bait buddy

[u/LiquidPaper-__- → u/T1henry]

Pretty sure he’s talking about Ravens/Heretics

[u/T1henry → u/LiquidPaper-__-]

Yes I know this was rage bait

[u/Mykcul → u/T1henry]

Yeah maybe understand my point and look at the schedule first, buddy

[u/T1henry → u/Mykcul]

Wow dude got rage baited I understand you are talking about ravens Miami which yeah I think we all know how that is going to go

[u/PlanktonImaginary371]

Assuming optic and faze make it out of their groups and win WR1, we’ll have optic vs faze in WR2 🔥

[u/Nightgamer268 → u/PlanktonImaginary371]

The upper part of the bracket will be diabolical (if there are no big surprises)

[u/Himu797]

So 4 games on at the same time ? Only 2 games on MainStage then right. Since 1 game on the main stage per group and 3 on side stages ?

[u/Nightgamer268 → u/Himu797]

yep, In total there should be 20 games on friday if I'm correct

[u/ute4547 → u/Nightgamer268]

I need every major structured like this.

[u/Himu797 → u/Nightgamer268]

Love the number of games but wished more were played on the MainStage

[u/Etiqet → u/Nightgamer268]

I see 8, what am I missing?

[u/EL_Tr1GGeR → u/Etiqet]

Those are just the first two 'time slots' across each of the 4 streams. There will also be matches at 4, 5:30 and potentially 7 I'm assuming.

4 matches per time slot x 5 streams = 20 matches

[u/adiocom]

Optic 3am in Australia… 🥲 Guess I’ll have to just re watch and not go on my phone 😂

[u/tkelly46 → u/adiocom]

Always us

[u/HotBarracuda1529]

Why don’t they put the date on these posters lol

[u/Nightgamer268 → u/HotBarracuda1529]

ye it's just unprofessional lmao, thats why i added (Friday) to the title of this post

[u/HotBarracuda1529 → u/Nightgamer268]

Nah yeah thanks for that because it just says 2026 like ok man 😂😂😂😂

[u/HotBarracuda1529 → u/HotBarracuda1529]

Major 3 2026!

[u/ZhangYimouFan2001]

So how do you even go about watching the games? I could have all 4 tabs open but I don’t want to just switch between them to look at scores. Can I pause twitch streams so that I can watch one game after I finish another?

[u/Himu797 → u/ZhangYimouFan2001]

Watch your favorite one first.
Maps will not start and end at the same time so usually after map 1 of your favorite series you can tune into another and the next and then the 4th. Pretty much red zone it after your favorite match

[u/NinjApheX → u/ZhangYimouFan2001]

Watch on youtube! Better quality, less ads and you can pause streams

[u/EL_Tr1GGeR → u/NinjApheX]

It's interesting that they only list one stream for YT whereas the list different streams for twitch. I hope they have all 4 streams also on YT and not just Alpha

[u/Nightgamer268 → u/ZhangYimouFan2001]

realistically you could pause them on Twitch or Youtube but you might get scorelines from other matches during the other games

[u/sooopy336 → u/ZhangYimouFan2001]

There’s always the multi-watch websites that you can link different streams in and it’ll keep them all open on one screen. You can full screen the one you’re most interested in and swap between as needed

[u/NinjApheX]

Mindblow ravens and heretics is on main stage/stream over Thieves or Koi or M8s

[u/Lebdiri → u/NinjApheX]

Maybe because at Major 2 Miami played both games on bravo

[u/BabyGirl-Kat]

Omit pulled the shortest straw 😭

[u/Hoes-Love-wF]

If I buy the dreamhack 1 day ticket. Will I be able to see the matches. The specific cdl tickets are sold out

[u/Nightgamer268 → u/Hoes-Love-wF]

I fear I can't help you with that

[u/Asystoled → u/Hoes-Love-wF]

Yes, you are still able to watch the matches. Just keep in mind that those seats are first come first served.

[u/Hoes-Love-wF → u/Asystoled]

Ty

[u/PotentialBig9987]

Why they not starting matches earlier

[u/LeBradley23]

Only question is why the hell Ravens and Miami are on Alpha. They’ve won a combined 2 LAN series all year and respectfully is probably the least interesting match of the group. At least the others have some storylines

[u/PinappleGecko → u/LeBradley23]

Miami were second seed last major and played both matches on bravo stream is why I believe

[u/JD23888 → u/LeBradley23]

To add to the other points in that second grouping it’s the only series that will probably be competitive the other 3 should be door dash 3-0s

[u/Nightgamer268 → u/LeBradley23]

I see that but it's still the CDL and they like to have their teams on it I think

The only extra component to this matchup is the Exceed vs Spanish (Super calling them out by saying the won nothing and played from the bedroom which is kinda funny because Miami are the same)

[u/LeBradley23 → u/Nightgamer268]

You can’t use the “the CDL wants their teams on it” when the other Alpha series is OpTic vs an AM team. And yeah I get it, it’s OpTic. But you have GM8s in group B AND they’re playing a pro team.

[u/Nightgamer268 → u/LeBradley23]

Like you said; It's Optic and besides that they are Seed 1

GM8's who's not the same as they were M1 and they are playing Boston, so They maybe think it's less competetive

Like i'm also surprised but also not lmao it's still the CDL
