OWCS Pacific Stage 3 moves to October 26 after network issues
WDG's revised schedule runs through November 3, with the competition format and qualification route kept intact.
The announced schedule changes
OWCS Pacific's Stage 3 was postponed from its planned September 24 start to October 26–November 3. OWTV's October 3 report identifies September 22 as the date WDG announced the change and attributes it to network-infrastructure problems.
The revised schedule retains six match days, with the participating teams, competition format and qualification structure unchanged in that report. WDG also leaves room for further adjustments. A new start date is therefore the current schedule, not a guarantee that no later operational notice can change it.
A delay is not a cancellation
For fans, the immediate consequence is simple: an old September calendar is no longer a reliable way to find the matches. Check the organizer's latest listing before planning a watch session or sharing a start time, particularly when the notice itself acknowledges possible follow-up changes.
Extra preparation time and disrupted scheduling are different effects. It is reasonable to watch how teams adapt, but not to assume the delay helps every roster equally or identifies a particular team's technical problem. The change was announced September 22, as reported in OWTV's October 3 account. The revised October 26–November 3 window replaces the earlier calendar while leaving the six-match-day structure and qualification route intact.
