The Seattle Storm Playoffs presented by Symetra begin Sept. 20
After staying on top of the league for the entire 2020 WNBA season, the Seattle Storm will begin postseason play in the WNBA semifinals, receiving a double-bye as the No. 2 seed. The Seattle Storm Playoffs presented by Symetra commence on Sept. 20, bypassing both single-elimination rounds and beginning the playoffs with a five-game series.
Despite a non-traditional regular season format comprised of a schedule reduced to only 22 games, the WNBA will play a traditional playoff format, where the top-eight teams in the league make the playoffs regardless of conference. This is the second time Seattle has secured a top-two seed in the current playoff format, which has existed since 2016. The only other time was in the 2018 championship-winning season.
Keke Palmer has been a popular fan casting for Storm. Some fans have suggested that Palmer is too young to play the role, but if Marvel is planning to make the MCU's X-Men young and inexperienced (at least at first), then Palmer could be a great choice. 'The Storm' did not appear in print during Chopin's lifetime but was released in 1969 in the collection The Complete Works of Kate Chopin. The story is a sequel to Chopin's story 'At the ‘Cadian Ball.' Chopin is recognized as a primary force in paving the way for twentieth-century feminist authors, including Zelda Fitzgerald.
'Symetra is excited to be a presenting sponsor of the Storm's 2020 WNBA playoffs appearance. The team has been incredibly inspiring this season, on and off the court. In an unprecedented year for sports, they've remained fiercely competitive and provided countless virtual thrills for Storm fans. And, in an unprecedented year for our country, they've been fiercely vocal advocates for social justice. We could not be prouder to support them as they begin their playoff run,' said Trinity Parker, SVP, Marketing, Communications and Public Affairs at Symetra.
The Storm holds an all-time playoff record of 26-25, with a 7-5 record in the current playoff format. Facebook game download. The last time Seattle began postseason play in the semifinals, in 2018, they posted a 6-2 record to win the WNBA Championship.
The 2020 WNBA season saw the return of Sue Bird and Breanna Stewart for the Seattle Storm. With its stars back in the lineup, Seattle dominated the WNBA, finishing with a .818 record. The Storm posted a 10-1 record to kick off the season for the best start in franchise history. The season was also highlighted by a nine-game win streak, second only to 2010's 13-game win streak in franchise history.
Breanna Stewart re-established herself as one of the top players in the game in another MVP caliber season following her return from an Achilles injury. She averaged 19.7 points per game, good for No. 4 in the league, while also stepping up her game with career-high averages in assists and steals. Stewart was also named Western Conference Player of the Week twice.
The Storm assisted 68.8 percent of baskets and averaged a league-high 21.9 assists per game, led by Jordin Canada and the return of Bird. Canada finished No. 3 in the league in assists with 5.5 per game. Seattle was also an excellent three-point shooting team, finishing No. 2 in the league with a 39.4 three-point field goal percentage. Alysha Clark led the league in three-point shooting for the second consecutive year, shooting 52.2 percent for the fourth-best three-point shooting performance in a season in WNBA history. She also surpassed her 2019 three-point shooting record of 48.1 percent, already the best three-point shooting season in Storm history.
In addition to being one of the league's top offenses, the Storm had the WNBA's top defense. Seattle led the league in steals with 10.0 per game, and held opponents to an average of 76.0 and shooting 40.1 percent, both the lowest in the league. They were bolstered by Defensive Player of the Year candidate Alysha Clark and reigning DPOY Natasha Howard.

Choices presented in The Tempest (Shakespear play choices).
Introduction, Spoilers Warning
Don't read any further if you want to avoid spoilers.
I made this because I enjoy going through the story and nailing all of the thespian lines to create that sense of magic when you get thrown in to something unexpected and yet still manage to nail it. And let's be honest, my memory isn't perfect, so that's what crib notes are for.
I figured, as long as I'm putting this together, I should throw some pics in to be thorough. Without further ado.
Choices Before the Play
I'll be honest and say that at this point (in writing the guide) I haven't yet gone through all the permutations to determine how the play can be affected, but I've been through it twice-- so some of what I'm going to be stating in this section is speculation and some of it is well reasoned speculation-- but nothing should be considered unimpeachable.
Choices:
- Whether or not you defended Nathan in Episode 1 is going to affect Nathan's performance, I suspect. I can't be 100% sure which choices cause the change, but this is one that I think has an effect. In my first play through I didn't defend him and he was catcalled and ran off the stage in shame. In my second play through, I did defend him and he nailed all of his lines. Wiki attributes Nathan's performance change in the play to a different decision.
- Whether or not you encourage Samantha Meyer (Nathan's fan club) to be supportive of him after his dad rags on him (as a pep talk). According to the wiki, if you discourage Samantha from supporting him (which I did in my first playthrough) then Nathan will get catcalled and he'll run off the stage in shame. If you encourage Samantha to support him (which I did in my second playthrough) then the Wiki says (and I witnessed) him nailing all of his lines.
- Whether or not you let Amber Price take the fall for the Episode 1 events determines whether or not Victoria Price is wearing Prospera's costume prior to the start of the play. Regardless of whether or not Amber Price has been removed from the play or not, Amber will be able to take the lead role. Choose whichever path feels best for your story. I have done both. I like things about each path.
- On the one hand, Victoria can rufee herself with muscle relaxants in her failed attempt to sabotage Amber. On the other hand, you get a backtalk challenge to undermine Victoria's self confidence.
- Your romance choices towards Amber Price have no effect on the outcome of the Tempest play language choices
The Play, And The Choices
Note: Wiki indicates that your nailing the lines does not change the outcome of the play. I have not specifically tested this.
Correct choice for the script: I boarded the King's ship..
Correct choice for the script: 'Hell is empty!'
Correct choice for the script: More toil?
Bonus (Not a choice)
Bonus (Not a choice)
I've tried both of the above choices, it does not have an effect on the next dialog.
So far I've only tested the 'So come with me' choice.
The rest of the Tempest will be on autopilot. Enjoy the fruits of your labors.
