I just found this out through the Reddit PAX East thread, but there will be an Overwatch Open tournament this week at PAX East in Boston.

It appears it will be streamed at http://www.twitch.tv/paxarena Saturday and Sunday. A schedule is here: https://www.twitch.tv/team/pax

There's not much info about details but I got some from these pages:

If for some reason pros want to get into PAX East for bragging rights, you can procure PAX East tickets through craigslist and other usual channels

Maybe you missed part of that game or it was a different one, but Hubris did the same thing at that last point and it won them the round/match. It wasn't just 4 d.va's, it was 6.

The reason it worked and they did it is a mix of things you've already mentioned, plus the spawn doors on that map are very small and many heroes can be blocked from even getting out of there. In other comp games announcers have mentioned the ease of attacking team blocking the small doors. It also highlights d.va's need for an ultimate build nerf. I'd expect the map and the hero to be fixed somewhat due to this comp example.

With that said... maybe next time someone on the offensive team will go Mei and Ice Wall the spawn doors for good measure.

Someone on reddit did some packet sniffing and it seems the current tick rate is 20.
