No way this guy "retired" just to unretire so he can blame NYXL's social media managers for this debacle. When you're entry level, every tweet is getting reviewed and approved for posting. Someone well above the SMM's paygrade fucked up, and it's irresponsible to imply otherwise.

halo is such a stupid ass mother fucker lmao
its actually so funny how he turned himself into a complete clown with like no credibility
No shot 😂😂😂
lmao
I love the replies of Adam, Provide - savage
should be a good game that, I've gone 3-2 London
Interesting. I got mayhem 3-1
London will win 3-1
I had this dream last night where Hadi was on DPS and shax was on tank and backbone was on support
calling his genji not great is a compliment
it was a solid 3400
sad
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
why do navi suck
not their day
vommon sense reads
13-0
this is all tilt
not their day

Good shots avova
its ok avova solo won many rounds for them
His fault for trying to track in this game tbh
g2 played very well and navi had a bad day
Ok sayf
Guild are the best breeze team in the world
Sayf is going to obliterate oglu on this map
13-6 is my prediction
Maybe not with yacine actually
Koldamenta??
He trolled
mods should leave up scam posts in ED for at least thirty minutes so we can make fun of them (even if they are bots for the most part)
I was so confused til I realized y’all weee talking about Val
Does anyone know where I can watch birdring play apex? 😂
Mods should leave them so maybe some of the idiots in here click them and get banned
I have no clue
Ask in the apex server
OGLU are so good
Guild are playing awful
Why does sayf not trade leo
Am I fried or is there anyone else that’s excited to see joats in owl after watching it in contenders
Owl is gonna play on jq nerf patch
😟
Well players have been saying that it hasn’t affected the meta in any meaningful way
We’ll have to see
Yeah I’m excited though
11 is all they get
Guild have really good attack side
What’s happening in Val rn. I’ve been wanting to get into Val esports. Are they doing another tournament?
It’s last chance qualifiers for champions currently
Oh shit
Valorant is going on rn if you want to watch it’s twitch.tv/valorant
I thought that was over last weekend
Yeah I’ll check it out
Is faze still in???
I watched the highlights of baby popping off
Yeah they play tomorrow at 4pm est
Right now it’s currently Eu
In 2 and a half hours 100T vs sentinels happens
There’s multiple regional tournaments going on and the teams that win the tournaments go to champions
Surely not
Please don’t
If London lose this
I will
This game will be over if London lose this map
I’m so proud of them
I wish boo got turned and right clicked on that fight
It would’ve been very funny
Breeze is attack sided
This OT is infinite
ThinkingMansValo
oh my goddddd
HOLY
He was 3 hp
Mannnnn
What is boo doing
He’s garbage
THEY GO MID
Oh my fuxking god
Oh my goddddd
LMAO
Oh my god
Please no
Actually please yes
NO
And we go again
Molsi is a psycho
OK BOO
Hes better than destrian
Someone win this game istg
Molsi is trying to be sheydos on icebox so bad rn 💀💀💀💀
FINALLY
i agree
TL guild are not
same level
TL is mid
we're back HYPE
Yee
i think she wont be back until next season
i dont know anything about maternity or parenthood but it probably takes longer than 3 months to raise a child
Well it depends on how long she thinks it will take for her to raise her child
I know in traditional companies maternity time is aquited
then again my parents only did two and it seemingly worked out fine
joats 😭 🔫 👈
what does acquited mean in the context of maternity leave
Aquired
So someone females get a certain amount of maternity leave based off hours
and then anything else is company policy
There is a minimum but the extra is dictated by the company
well you would think the minimum is the minimum amount of time needed to raise a child
But shes on a salary so im assuming she asked a set amount of leave
They are
But as you know not all women are the same some think 6-12 months is whats needed some think 3-5
An all aim team
all of those are longer than the season
if the government minimum is more than 3 months (when she left)
she wont be back until next season
Of course the first year of a childs is ever so important so maybe shes gone for the rest of the uear
how is the first year of a child important
Shes still making preds so maybe she wants to return for end of season playoffs
i dont remember shit from when i was 1 and i dont think it affected my growth in any significant way
i am not the person i am now because of what happened when i was 1
r u stupid
people dont develop preset personalities when they are born u dumbass
Establishing parental bonds
Breast feeding
training
Walking
Diapers
Etc etc
they gain them through experiences growing up
Its common knowledge
U dont have to remember ur first year but ur mother did
And probably dad
Ayo wait new york signed a ms? Are they gonna get series
maybe you got dropped on ur head in ur first year of life to think like this
nah
that was when i was like 4-5
also i didnt get dropped i dropped myself
(self-relying independent gamer)
I am@the way i am because of my first 7 years of life even if i don’t remember the 1st year
A lot of who you are is set in the first three years, the first year is ever so important for things like attachment
Hell the first 10 years is important to raising a child
Yeah
Why would you point out the first 1 year then as especially important?
Especially in the digital age where the internet can raise a child
Indeed but a lot of it starts when you’re 1
I would argue that academic education is way more important than 1st year as child
They have equal weight but the first year of ur life is basically what molds you
*within the first year
Disagree
Walking teething and shit
You can't take a child of one years and then determine who they will be in the future like some fortune seer
Disagree all you like that’s facts
It's not facts until you can show me scientific evidence that points to being able to accurately predict who someone will be based upon their first year of childhood
This is going map 3
1st year is mostly important for attachment and parental bonds
Trust me if you have both parents at age 1 it significantly changes the future of said child
????
Why is this a convo in ed
Successive years you do more shit on top of it and have broader experiences
And how did they win the eco
Which are more likely to determine who you are as a person
in the future
so therefore you should not mark first year as more important than other years
Y1 is like the foundation of whatever follows after
yacine could have played it
slightly better
First year of your life is when significant brain developement occours
Anyway, that's not ed
Why was leo up front with a phantom
I’ve decided you’re a troll, I’m done with this convo. Three people have told you why Y1 is important and you keep going “it’s not important please tell me why” have a good evening and I hope your team wins today
I've decided you're a dumbass.
He should like be playing with someone else so they don’t give away the gun for free
Spitfire sweep time
did not see that part
No shit your full personality isn't formed then, it realistically isn't formed for decades
Then you are agreeing with me!
nah I have this as a 5 mapper
First year of your life is not the most important year of your childhood that determines who you are as a person when you grow up.
5 mapper special
He was playing in that cubby in mid (idk what it’s called)
Against an eco
oh
I am a bit concerned for Spitfire in terms of DPS
With a gun
I've been away for 3 weeks, my judgement of teams is out of whack
Against raze
london are just gonna play mei
Saying that the first year of your life dictates you as a person is about as much bullshit as saying that you are the way you are because you were born in the month of April instead of July.
Who had nade
But still, faith in london
Backbone Genji at the start of the season, was not it
not genji
Gave them a phantom for free
idk if Backbone even plays Echo
just like fuel are not gonna play sojourn and potentially will pick da reaper
depending on if they want guriyo to put up over 8 deaths per 10 again
nah no chance they try rein lol
1st map they probably will
It wasn't
jq is busted
not on the OWL patch
We don’t know what’s been happening in scrims
The mei was mwah
I'd be surprised if Shax even sees play this meta
kolda is trolling
I didn’t see the omen tp
Your not understanding that there are different and larger developments going on in your brain that allow it to function as you get older
Your personality mostly isn't a implanted thing, it's a nurture over time change that depends on a billion things
Literally what I said
There’s no point trying to tell him anything he’ll just disagree with anything
Poko JQ might be sweet
JQ is more of a DPS bro
I feel like Hanbin is going to be an insane JQ, idk why
@devout path this guy tilting is so funny
player with good mechanics
because hanbin is insane
and good brain
lol
It is
😂
isn't Zarya quite strong against JQ? Could she see play as a counter?
LOL
molsi
Those predictions are spicy
JQ can just kite bubble
new pre-match video, pretty neat ngl
zarya needs to wait 18s to get both bubbles back
shout is 12s
there's a massive massive window where the zar just can't do anything as long as you're forcing bubbles early
and with two speedboosts, you can
Molsi is so good
whast
WHAT
been far too long to see those
oh my goddd
No Parisio yet
Backbone Genji, oh no
Backbone Genji and Landon Brig gonna kill London
this is a massacre
no blade for Backbone, oof
some1 is the goat
That Bob was useless
still using ow1 skins
Brig is landon's 2nd best hero
Wait why is shroud streaming a sen vs 100t watch party ?
doesn't his girlfriend do those
anyone else have trouble reading the player name font
i can barely see london's player names and their ult percents are blurry
same
what are ur preds
Checkmate is absolutely ruining Spitfire
for sen vs 100t
respect
hes hustlin
Sen 2-1
@twin bloom can i trust you to give me an honest summary of the game
what about guard vs faze
Guard vs faze?
I wonder if rein/mei/soj/lucio/ana rolls this comp on non-koth maps
That’s tomorrow’s game
It's the same in contenders matches for the away team
I know
Ngl, London need to hire necros for genji
still wanna hear ur pred lol
Faze 2-0
fair
Backbone is getting destroy3d
Still looking at this comp I think a good rein comp makes jq sad
Remember when everyone though checkmate sucked cuz he was being benched by yaki
spitfire is gonna get swept
it's almost like Yaki's Genji is cracked
Yes
how so?
Checkmate is very solid player
Too bad he was very underappreciated cuz he played rein that one time and was benched by yaki
If Genji is as important to this meta as it looks maybe Fuel will be good
Do not think this comp is working for London
I think rein can stand up to the damage jq puts out pretty well and pressure out the backline super well
Yaki v Pelican, Kevster v Sp9rk1e Genji duels, pretty sweet
I said they should just force rein anyway
Hadi (for as much as love him) did fuck all on JQ
tbf that was more on the Genji matchup
london will mirror jq and lose map 2 then play rein the rest of the series (including gibraltar) and reverse sweep
not much Hadi can do if Backbone is getting hard diffed
Rein on Gib LOL
has that ever been a good comp
in the history of OW
Goats
apart from GOATs
Bunker at one point probably
Oh shit, here we go again
double flex?
well that's something different
Jq ana zen
surely not Sombra
Backbone wow
fair play you did
Admiral Ana????
ughhhh it hurts
how have Mayhem held that LOL
London and Florida are off the goop
holy fucking baited
ok this looks like the sombra is good, london just sucks
I want to see Lip Whoru run it
or sp9rk1e doha
if Lip can't make Sombra work this year, she's bad
just let shy fuck
end of
oh look emp
do spark things
no one dies
man
also this is why I thought ana would be good
I can feel the spark urge to play architect brig
This is cruel
What the fuck do they do against nade lmao
no brawl no london
london so as
only genji can do anything to stop it
just like goats
Ngl, Florida's only loss will be to Shock if the shock can make double main support work
also you can use shout tho
Not like goats
against anti
At all
more like backbone is ass at genji
Goats has a lot of counterplay to anti
No like anti nade being able to counter it
remember how london was shit at the start of the season or how super meme'd backbone's genji
that too
checkmate is absolutely crushing this
Pharah comps had anas for nano barrage cuz you couldn’t kill goats otherwise
but london is still ass
I don’t get this mirror man
And for sleep so ana can stay alive
yes theres counterplay but it was a reliable way to fight against it
like objectively anti was good against goats
And so they can keep mercy alive from dva dive
not really
It’s clearly not working
but dva existed
goats had like 5 different ways to deal with nade
so anti just gets eaten
Literally
Knew I shoulda went 3-0
IM NOT SAYING IT BEAT GOATS BUT IT WAS GOOD
this jq comp has nothing but deflect
ok that anti was fat
i stupidly made the pred 3-2 london at the start before i remembed joats
That’s an outlier
then made 3-1 mayhem
Checkmate and XZI are fucking nuts rn, if XZI and Checkmate continue playing like this in this Meta, too 4 NA
myunbong vs EM
why did I go Spitfire 3-2 🤦
i preded london 3-1
Not pro level goats
I went 3-1 hahaha
I went 3-1
contenders was def pro level that year
thats sp9rk1e glister year
thats runaway yaki year
No it wasn’t
Some players being good doesn’t make contenders pro level
welp that's 2-0
so how about no more sombra
the ana was a good choice
Mom florida is doing it again
no brawl no win 🤣
Sombra doesn’t do anything
Looking good week 1 then proceeding to disappear afterwards
What does she do
top level was
Runaway, EM, and o2 were
london are the definition of a mickey mouse team LMAO
london should just go ball
do we see dive on Gib?
literally not much
Yeah
or was JQ played on Gib in contenders
it was
focus down targests to collapse? maybe? hypothetically? probably not but potentially?
LOL
She can’t cuz she doesn’t do damage
monkey was played iirc
And she doesn’t have utility
Ngl, I imagine Gib is still a good Widow/ Winston map
emp is the worst ult in the gamed
Hack does nothing
nano emp poggers
amazing how it went from one of the best to one of the worst
The increased damage is negligible cuz it’s for sombra only
nano emp poggers
in ranked**
oh is it
if so then sombra is literally so useless
jesus
you could maybe say EMP was the best ult in OW1
wait is it??? i havent played the beta literally at all
if not, it's definitely up there
I thought it was team
And also emp is 40% of current health instead of 40% max health
thats what i thought
It’s sombra only damage boost as far as I know
jesus
LUL
LMAO
she's quite literally useless then
FM social media is absolutely savage
Ok well ig we know what buff is coming soon
No
its like 40% right?
Team damage boost would be absolutely fucking insane
so the buff is going to be team gets 20%
And way too busted
or at least on emp
It would be sombra zen meta
real
so Dragons 2021 comp?
sombra needs to be busted, thats like the whole point of her character
I miss her
No
how is that part of her character?
Sombra is not an interesting character at all
2019-2022
I like her not being meta
I liked her being meta :(
yeah it makes a nice change not having fights just be won by EMP
Ur weird
She made the game more tactical imo
She didn’t
ur a sombra otp
I think she made dive more precise
She made the game oh no they have emp I guess we lose fight
sombra ball comps are fun to play
Oh they don’t have emp we win fight
like a surgeon scalpel
she would pop in, hack, slice a zen out of excistance with a ball tracer then zoom out
How is that interesting at all
im good at it so its interesting
respect
How is disabling abilities at all make the game more interesting
cause i win
sombra metas were generally pretty boring
it made me have fun
it was farm emp, win fight, rinse repeat
in fairness, EM hackfist was awesome
and overwatch just wasnt that before
Sombra goats sombra ball all of it was zzz
anything that made me have fun in ow i enjoyed
london might aswell go monkey on this map
this game saps my joy usually
appears you did not win in ball meta 😎
Emp is just such a cringe idea
hadi only prevails on brawl
I did
The definition of depression is overwatch
thats why i like sombra
talking to yum
Bastion?
I won during goats
sombra again, Spifire what you doing
and I won during sombra metas
so i like those 2
I don’t get sombra
i dont get you
probably the only thing you'll see most maps is JQ until someone finds an anti comp and is good at it
Sigma on CR still?
apparently Sigma is really good on 1st point on Rio as well
Chengdu 100% doesn’t play jq
Rio is a p good widow map
Majed LOL
london win a fight due to emp 🙏 !!!

ball sombra pharah incoming
Backbones face as he he couldn’t kill the Ana 😂
backbone nearly lost that 1 v 1 LUL
CRAZY BACKBONE BLADE 🤯
MAJED LUCIO
Ngl, what happened was that the Mayhem thought they could win without SOMEONE
Kill me now
ikr
also florida subs out their MS
london was getting rolled in the first half of the map
then got off sombra
and suddenly it became a 5v5 instead of a 4v5
also florida switched to double ms instead of double fs when running 2 fs
convinced that london thinks that this is rush
they pop shout before every engagement even starts
I guess ana is also a really good answer to the ashe because of sleeping BOB
also every single viewership record about to be broken
Why is xzi on widow?
Widow was a mega throw there
actually decreases the decay rate by like 33%
everyone go watch valorant
No 🙂
gibraltar
I feel like they know they have an easy win so they're just testing out wacky comps
actually china has 3 million viewers of owl 🤓
I can't stand the way Valorant looks
Gibraltar /= an immediate widow pick
widow got no value with the JOAT setup
you're on a map with so much highground where rotates are so long
you can't find an isolated target
and are banking on your JQ to delay them
But you can stand the way overwatch looks?
Genji just hard counters widow so hard
widow is not about finding isolated targets it's about keeping them where the widow can shoot them
he doesn't
It’s the same style
Overwatch is a lot more vibrant
overwatch is better
valorant looks like a worse version of borderlands
what counters the widow is how quickly london were able to go from behind cover to on top of the widow
The games look nothing the same though
it means she gets maybe one shot into a large target and a brig shield
and then has to leave
at the very least they needed someone else like a lucio or brig to help keep them off her
but they were running ana/zen
What widow does to their team, Genji's existence does that to widow too
genji/soj >> widow with that support lineup
fr
except he doesn't
oh no
because genji is piss easy to peel if it's just the genji
He literally does homie
they're playing junkertown
again, brig or lucio
Not in ow2
negates the genji
As shown so far
they're running ana/zen
If you position your brig or lucio where widow is
question - have we seen bastion at all in OWL2?
They are in bad position
yes
yes, very briefly @old stag
lucio can just rotate because he has mobility
when
Shock played it on CR
brig wants to sit there anyway
Not really
feel like there was another map it got played as well
They want to stack with jq
what you want your brig low ground as they're pushing across cat?
Not widow
but it's very little play time
If you're playing stacked just go ashe
brig wants to sit where she can delay them anyway
and that is going to be from highground
because if they go lowground she can drop
and if they go highground she can actually do something
real
ashe is jus a better pick
could you not just play ana lucio instead of ana zen?
bob + dynamite
The only universe you go widow there is if you're spinbotting lmao
rampage wipes out trans
if they had a 2nd dps that could help control the space sure
could've gotten so much more value out of it
but doesn't counter beat
No Anamo
neutral > ults
because if your neutral is worse your ults will be slow anyway
see: zarya
grav is fucking nuts in ow2
100T vs sentinels time
but the character is shit because she's gonna take like 3 fights to build it unless the enemy team is feeding
London washed
Because the nade?
Reinhardt
Double purple
no baptiste though?
london playing rein mei 😴
London on rush, winable?
true
why is rein with the ow1 design
ig sparkr's trying to poke someone to shit
not complaining but its weird
mayhem doesn't
although I will say
soj charging off barriers makes this really fucking tough
genji moment
Flankhart
hadi swepe
admiral instantly dying was tough
Im just waiting to see Shock play tbh
or wait that was sparkr wasn't it
yea
got smoked and was meant to be nano'd but died right away
oh that's rough
he burned roll
and then got soj bodyshot
and checkmate instantly dashed on him
if he saves roll there he's fine
I don't agree with the cass over the soj
@cunning patrol it’s insane how sentinels went from the most hated team to the fan favorites
like all they'd have to do is fucking throw the soj e at the ledge and they could keep them off them
but they don't have it
so mayhem is just poking with the ana/soj forever
so fucking
landon can never rotate through
so hadi can never actually contest the JQ cuz he loses los to his ana
landon gets denied
i have no idea whats casserole purpose here
what is the cass doing here
o
m
g
they mei wall the catwalk where xzi is playing
LOL
big shatter
rush comp 😴
xzi is landing well his charged beams
SPARKR BIG HIGH NOON!
stubborness
like
Think it's time to return flashbang
i was expecting some mobile to go with the rein lol
they're burning mei wall for it when they could fucking soj e
sparkrs tryna be different man
all it is
sombra then cass
neither worked
or someone who can kill on high ground or corners
2-3 high noons right ? 0 kills
I mean
if they just run the fucking soj they have both e and wall to keep xzi off them
and put checkmate in a bad spot
xzi puts pressure but too reckless for me
Lol
Shroud just loved
if they can get the bot to where they can fight bridge they have a chance
but
that's not happening
True
LOL
that nano from Rupal was clutch
is sthis 75% dmg reduction moira?
god
London washed
london is so ass
Perfect preds for this match
no, necrotic orb is out
ye moira's reverted
welp I picked wrong 😦
feels like Spitfire threw a map with the Sombra pick
the one map london played soj they won
they picked cass
like
people whine about cass
he's not good
even with 225
true
real
he isnt good vs that comp
he's just not good
to get rolled by jq
he's quite literally
I cannot think of a situation where I would want the cass over someone else
Hadi got diffed so hard
give cass speedy legs
if you want midrange kill threat go soj
if you need poke go ashe or widow
if you want the close range brawl go genji or tracer
like
when the fuck would you ever want a cass
he's tryna "change the meta" bro !
I mean
imo the brig is being overrated a lot
so
there's a difference between "changing the meta" and "brain damage"
like when all the teams were picking up the zar because everyone was bad
and then glads were like "yeah we have thoughts"
and obliterated it
jel becoming glads fan
I hope once Microsoft takes over the league is able to get more sponsors.
I already am
they do not give me brain damage
ok
they mostly do not give me brain damage
no advertiser is touching anything related to blizz with a ten foot pole
blizzard made some huge fucking mistakes
score rn?
ended 3-1 mayhem
3-1 Mayhem
LMAO OKAY LONDON
Yeah. But Microsoft
London tried Sombra for some reason
what was meta
0 value sombra
and then in Rush on Colosseo they played Cass instead of Soj/Ashe
jq p much
Let me have my Hopium okay
ok
London went back to Chadi Rein
you gotta need to be philly fan
who did mayhem play
someday philly becomes champion 🙏
huh
Checkmate was farming on Genji
ana zen interesting
mayhem were all JQ with either lucio/brig or zen/ana, and lucio/ana on colleseo
the anti nades were huge
JQ?
JunkerQueen
ag
the lucio means the double speedboost makes her much harder to pin down
Yaki v Pelican Genji matchup inc?
not to mention still has the peel for the ana
that'll be fun
I also thought that shout was 4s instead of 6s
Joats OWL will stick around like Goats OWL
so I thought that decay was much faster than it is
