[frosty patrol]

I only missed defiant match for round 1

spark pred is still alive

and well

[regal stone]

is there no way to check how much youve watched of OWL streams for the drops? like the twitch drops for the winston skin

[trim tusk]

any console tournaments??

with money?

[chilly scroll]

u picked defiant over outlaws

[frosty patrol]

yes

given we knew meta included monkey and lucio at least

which favor toronto

[nocturne knoll]

Dam why is owl premiering so early??

[frosty patrol]

that’s the encore

for people who suffer from the timezones of the real thing

[nocturne knoll]

O

Is drops still enabled for it?

[frosty patrol]

yes

[nocturne knoll]

Ight cool I would watch but I already saw it yesterday

[frosty patrol]

just leave the tab open imo

30 hours is the threshold for highest tier of drops

encores might be necessary for that

[nocturne knoll]

So true

That might actually be the reason they have it giving ppl more chances to get everything

[frosty patrol]

nah

encore is a thing for asia matches during regular season n shit too

it’s been a thing for 2 years

[mental vine]

is it just me or is anyone not getting tokens or skins?

[rocky finch]

they say you can only get the perks on the 15th\

[nocturne knoll]

I

[rocky finch]

though tokens can show up sooner

[nocturne knoll]

O

Ok

[mental vine]

where does it say that?

[frosty patrol]

PSA: Tokens always take a little while to drop, and skins/sprays/etc will drop on November 15th.

[rocky finch]

website and in thier email

[mental vine]

alright but what about tokens?

[rocky finch]

takes awhile, i got 10 yesterday but im still missing some

[cedar oasis]

What universe is this

[mental vine]

i think i saw notification of that like 3 times yesterday

[frosty patrol]

takes a little while

[north relic]

Why didn’t you cop free regular

[cedar oasis]

I was sleeping

[frosty patrol]

I’m veteran in 3 months

[mental vine]

but still need to keep track on how many tokens ive earned 😭

[cedar oasis]

I'm veteran but not a regular

Makes sense

[nocturne knoll]

What’s your guy’s opinion on 2cp outta the game?

[cloud agate]

i can watch the league on my phone and still get the rewards right

[frosty patrol]

if you have bnet connected to your youtube account

[north relic]

It makes comp a lot more fun

Every 3-5 games is just not a fun time

[mental vine]

and i bet encore continues recording for skins and tokens 🙂

[nocturne knoll]

I see

I miss hanamura tbh

[balmy wolf]

the premieres don't count towards the rewards right? like the play-offs between fusion and spitfire about to happen

[mental vine]

i bet if you watch encore, extending the amount of hours watched and get those rewards fast

[cloud agate]

yeh its the sams for my pc thats connected to battlemet

[mental vine]

i just hope i got all of the perks and rewards on november 15th cuz if i dont, its so annoying

[balmy wolf]

is there a way on how i can check if my YouTube is connected to the right battlenet account?

[frosty patrol]

they do

[plush grail]

REIGN LOSING 3-0 IN A SOUJOURN META

they cant be saved tbh

[frosty patrol]

kai is not a good sojourn lmfao

[plush grail]

he was top 3 for a little bit

[frosty patrol]

gets gapped by legends of the sport

[plush grail]

he fell off HARD

[frosty patrol]

for the first 2 weeks of sojourn play yeah

[balmy wolf]

thanks, but how did you know?

[frosty patrol]

they have for like 2 years lmfao

[plush grail]

this has all been announced

[frosty patrol]

business as usual

[plush grail]

loooong ago

[frosty patrol]

encores have counted since literally april 2021

[balmy wolf]

thanks

[static pond]

Fleta ass

[plush grail]

u know owl is doing good when 9/10 questions in this chat are about tokens

[static pond]

I’m sorry I’m salty about fleta holding his reaper ult

[cunning patrol]

Me too

He’s holding lip back

[frosty patrol]

160k viewers just on NA stream last night

[cunning patrol]

And lip is a generational talent

[static pond]

You should have been here during the stream yesterday way worse

[frosty patrol]

jazzy am I stupid for having spark 4-2 seoul in finals

I think it’s straight heat

[nocturne knoll]

Welp skins got a whole lot valuable lol

[plush grail]

i was there but i didnt talk because i hate token talk

[static pond]

It was just the same questions lmao

[plush grail]

i still just dont understand why u would want owl skins if u dont know anything about the team

[cunning patrol]

Yes apac is garbage

[rocky finch]

because they look clean af

[frosty patrol]

teru

[nocturne knoll]

They look pretty cool

[frosty patrol]

my king

[nocturne knoll]

Ngl

[cunning patrol]

Spark aren’t good

[rocky finch]

especially with gold guns

[cunning patrol]

Shanghai looked awful

Fuel picked them first for a reason

Imo

[static pond]

Dragons problem was fleta imo

[frosty patrol]

I had spark eliminating shanghai seoul glads shock and dynasty actually

in my bracket

[nocturne knoll]

I haven’t watched owl since 2018 😱

[frosty patrol]

straight heat

[nocturne knoll]

I’m sad New York isn’t even in the playoffs

[frosty patrol]

no bias

[static pond]

New York is trash

Screwed there coaches

[nocturne knoll]

NEXT SEASON ITS ALL THEM 😭

[static pond]

Ruining good player’s careers

[nocturne knoll]

OH

wait what did their coaches do

[static pond]

They suck

[nocturne knoll]

Lmao

[static pond]

There just not good coaches

Wtf

[plush grail]

idot

[nocturne knoll]

Hopefully they get better ones next season

[static pond]

Been like that sense season one

[frosty patrol]

gesture is my goat

[static pond]

Ngl i forgot about gesture

[nocturne knoll]

Isn’t this season 1?

[static pond]

We’re on season uh 5

[nocturne knoll]

Or wait I’m thinking about competitive

[hot onyx]

Fusioncord whining about this meta shift being unfair to competitive integrity (Belosrea FiXa and Aimgod aren't all on their one tricks like the Midseason Madness)

[nocturne knoll]

They’ve had Overwatch 2 for 5 seasons?)??

[hot onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/rip-bozo-gif-22294771

[static pond]

I’m curious how long teams had to practice

[hot onyx]

5 days each

so that no team would have advantage

[plush grail]

@hot onyx dont ignore my fucking dms and talk here

[static pond]

The thing is teams on Toronto just arrived to the playoffs like coupe days before it starts

I’m wondering if that affected performance

[frosty patrol]

you’re not ready for spark szn

[hot onyx]

your dms get ignored regularly this shouldn't be new to you

[frosty patrol]

I was 3-1 for round 1 preds

weren’t you 2-2

[hot onyx]

excuse you

[static pond]

No there just Continuing where they left off with ow1

[nocturne knoll]

Ohhh alright

[hot onyx]

no i am 3-1

[frosty patrol]

didn’t you pred r*ign though

[hot onyx]

yes but i predded outlaws as well

[frosty patrol]

ah

[static pond]

Wait

[frosty patrol]

3-1 gang

4-0 gang does not exist

[static pond]

Who won in the outlaws match?

[nocturne knoll]

Was owl boring before ow2 all I remember was dropping it in 2018 cuz it was all goats meta

[static pond]

I feel asleep

[vagrant cargo]

Houston won

Mer1t pelican had banger performances

Heesu tried his hardest to keep it somewhat competitive

But finale is just the worst dps in playoffs

He got ONE death blossom kill through 3 maps LOL

[hot onyx]

never thought i'd see the day where Danteh winston Lastro lucio beat MuZe winston CH0R0NG lucio but that's what having the equaliser does for a team

[static pond]

Danteh was on Winston?

[vagrant cargo]

Yes

And orisa

[fathom kettle]

How di i watch the encore

[thick radish]

When’s the next livestream

[oblique drum]

Go to YouTube and go to the overwatch league channel and watch the encore stream that’s starting in 39 minutes

Y’all really need to look at the owl website and yt channel tbh it really solves many problems

[cunning patrol]

Danteh was lookin like me on the roadie

[thick radish]

Where does it show that

[heady wedge]

are the rewards still delayed

i still only have 5 league tokens

[next wyvern]

How do you check how many you have

[heady wedge]

shop

[thick radish]

Either 42 hours or a week until they’re deposited

[heady wedge]

[thick radish]

There’s no encore in 30 minutes for me

[rare dune]

[steep shell]

After yesterday

[steep shell]

Not sure about the skins, but it will give tokens

[cloud agate]

and how do i check if my drops r good

[lapis rune]

Do you still get tokens for every hour watching the league?

[rocky summit]

[cloud agate]

i hope it doesnt count

but ima try to watch it

[fathom kettle]

atleast tokens u get w encore

[cloud agate]

yeh i do know that

but i rhink i can get the 30@hours without watcjing encore

[bold leaf]

It's a bunch of streams of 1h 30

[cloud agate]

[supple wadi]

Also how long will it take for us to get the skins

[cloud agate]

the playoffs are 7 hours i think

[supple wadi]

[fathom kettle]

[rare dune]

[fathom kettle]

ye

Do i need to type something in chat like as a command

/progression or sum ppl spam that

[rocky summit]

no just make sure your bnet account is connected to youtube

[frosty patrol]

who did you have in your bracket

I had spark 4-2 seoul

[cloud agate]

do u nnow if encore counts towards rhe hours

[frosty patrol]

it does

[cloud agate]

aight

[steep shell]

This is my first time watching owl so idk about any of this stuff

[chrome ingot]

does watching the encores give rewards or no?

[frosty patrol]

yes

[fathom kettle]

for skins or just tokens

[frosty patrol]

both

[chrome ingot]

thanks

[fathom kettle]

also if you watch encore and the regular stream do you get rewards for both?

[frosty patrol]

yes

[raven pawn]

so question if i watch the day one owl of yesterday does that still count for the drops or does it need to be live. i misted yesterday thats way.

[frosty patrol]

must be live

just watch the encore

[raven pawn]

that sucks. another one is planted for 0:15 in the middel of the night so gona mist that one too. that sucks. owh well

[fathom kettle]

Ty

[dusk stream]

can you still get the skins if you watch the stream after it ended? so just the replay of the stream

[fathom kettle]

if i understand correctly you get the drops from watching encore (the stream starting in a minute) but not from replaying the stream

[silver cradle]

Encore is starting for anyone who want to watch/earn the rewards
https://overwatchleague.com/en-us

[fathom kettle]

also do i get drops if the stream is muted?

do i need fullscreen too

[frosty patrol]

mute the tab not the stream

and if you do that you do not need to be tabbed in or fullscreen

just have it connected and don’t have the stream itself muted

[alpine parrot]

For the OWL skins do I have to watch it live?

[rocky summit]

you can watch the encore on rn

[alpine parrot]

I just leave it on?

[silver cradle]

Yes, either live or encore you can't watch a vod later on
https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/2022/playoffs?playoffs=perks

[thick radish]

Get if the video audio is playing when I turn my phone off does it still count as me watching?

[rocky summit]

yeah just have the stream on

[alpine parrot]

I’m tryna get me the Lucio dance party emote 😞

[silver cradle]

It's really good

My favorite emote

[weary lance]

I watched whole stream no points what is the hell problem

[fathom kettle]

also is it possible to get the winston skin from this or is it just twitch

[minor trench]

Am I the only person that didn’t get tokens?

[alpine parrot]

Alright thank you! Is there also a way to check how much progression you’ve made

[fathom kettle]

how do i get it

[silver cradle]

That's different, that's a twitch drop

[bold leaf]

Just watch on yt instead of site, got no tokens either

[thick radish]

Wym

[silver cradle]

No

[frosty patrol]

a clock

[alpine parrot]

You gotta watch 24 hours

[balmy wolf]

Bro i watched for 7 hours and i have 5 tokens

[frosty patrol]

that is it

[alpine parrot]

It just automatic claims the skins?

[rocky summit]

just watch the stream

[minor trench]

I watched for 7 and have none..

[frosty patrol]

tokens take a while

to load in

[rocky summit]

skins are given on 15th

[fathom kettle]

huh? is it another drop too?

[thick radish]

So the video has to be present for it to count as watching

I figured I could just listen without eating battery

[weary lance]

I watched on site and I didn't get points any solution this probelm

[thick radish]

Wasting*

[silver cradle]

https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/2022/playoffs?playoffs=perks

[bold leaf]

Watch on yt

[rocky summit]

I'm not sure how that'll work on mobile

[limpid grail]

this is crazy
if only there were a resource to guide people

[steep shell]

Where you connected

[weary lance]

Yes of course

[silver cradle]

Yes

[rocky summit]

The tokens take a while sometimes just be patient

[fathom kettle]

How do i get the lucio emote

[silver cradle]

Just be patient

[weary lance]

Thanks

[rocky summit]

https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/2022/playoffs?playoffs=perks

[silver cradle]

You buy it for OWL points

[minor trench]

I have yet to receive tokens from the first stream is this normal?

[silver cradle]

Yes

[rocky summit]

Read that it tells you how to get the rewards

[fallow oyster]

how do I see progression

[rocky summit]

You can't

[silver cradle]

If your account is properly connected you will get the points

[fathom kettle]

Also. How many hours of encore streams is there

[digital cobalt]

is there a way to see if watching the stream worked? since i did not get the items

[fallow oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/dies-of-cringe-doctor-strange-professor-x-multiverse-of-madness-gif-25661754

why the fuck didn't they just do this on twitch

this is horrible

bad

[rocky summit]

It replays every match so depends how long they go

[fathom kettle]

so over 30?

[balmy wolf]

me too

[digital cobalt]

where do you see this? battle.net?

[crimson dagger]

where do u see this

[silver cradle]

https://overwatchleague.com/en-us

If you watch on the OWL website

[balmy wolf]

i've watched 5 hours

[fathom kettle]

is there over 30 hours of encore streams?

[next wyvern]

where do you check

[silver cradle]

If you watch on the OWL website

[bold leaf]

If on yt make sure it says connected next to dislike button

[silver cradle]

Otherwise it would be impossible for people to get the rewards

[digital cobalt]

alr thanks

[silver cradle]

If you watch on YouTube check for this symbol

[fathom kettle]

yeah buy i was wondering if it was 30 encore or 30 regular and encore

[next wyvern]

isn't it better to watch on youtube?

[weary lance]

Is it better to watch on yt or website

[silver cradle]

Why would it be better?

It's the same thing

[clear holly]

look for it where

[fathom kettle]

youtube is a bit more user friendly i believe

[clear holly]

oh nvm

[silver cradle]

Next to the upvote downvote

[limpid grail]

it's the same thing
the only thing is YouTube is made for videos

[fathom kettle]

next to the dislike button

[limpid grail]

so easier to cast and all that

[silver cradle]

OWL Website uses the YouTube player

There's literally no difference

[limpid grail]

oh these nerds

🤮

[acoustic cliff]

Is there a way to check progress in the OWL stream drops?

[weary lance]

Who here is expert on overwatch league points and stuff

[silver cradle]

No

[fathom kettle]

tm

[silver cradle]

Just ask your question

[bold leaf]

I watched 5 hours of another stream and it gave me 4 hours of tokens, I'm just sticking to yt

[acoustic cliff]

So just make sure it’s connected?

[weary lance]

Is it better to watch on YouTube or website

[acoustic cliff]

And when I reach a milestone it’ll automatically be sent?

[limpid grail]

tm really has to carry this chat huh

[silver cradle]

Doesn't matter

[limpid grail]

where are the meta discussers

[rocky summit]

It does not matter

[weary lance]

Thanks

[silver cradle]

It's the same player

Just make sure you are connected

[balmy wolf]

How long does it take for drops to reach my account?

[silver cradle]

Watch on both ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[silver cradle]

Probably will take a while

[weary lance]

It says "you are logged in to earn rewards" under the video on website

Is that good

[silver cradle]

If I had to guess I dont think we get any skins until after the event has finished

[rocky summit]

Skins will be on 15th

[silver cradle]

And the points will probably be delayed by a day or two

[balmy wolf]

hmmm ok

[silver cradle]

Just guesswork on previous events

[silver cradle]

Yes if you want to earn rewards this is good

[limpid grail]

Nov 15th is when skins are handed out

[balmy wolf]

I was afraid of being bugged

[weary lance]

Thanks man so super much

[limpid grail]

tokens are as usual

[silver cradle]

No worries

[balmy wolf]

I already watched 5 hours

[raw night]

if I use "mute site" on chrome do I still get the perks?

[silver cradle]

Keep it up, King!

[limpid grail]

yes you still get perks

[silver cradle]

Muting the tab shouldn't affect the rewards

[limpid grail]

muting tabs is not muting the stream itself

[raw night]

thx

[limpid grail]

so if you wanna do something else always mute tabs

idk but I've tried muting the stream on twitch and it usually recognizes I'm not watching when tabbed out or something

[silver cradle]

Have fun lads!

[limpid grail]

but YouTube is different

[raw night]

for me when I mute the site and tab out it works

[clear holly]

is there anyway to find how many hours you've actually watched or do you need to keep track yourself

[limpid grail]

Thanks TM! I hope these games are a pleasure to watch and that everyone involved has a fun and competitive experience!

[fathom kettle]

Thanks for the info

[limpid grail]

(I have watched the stream already)

[knotty cipher]

@limpid grail can I ask you smth in dms bc I can't send pics here

[balmy wolf]

even so, it's interesting to watch guys, even without the drops

you can learn a lot about movement, and mindgame

[limpid grail]

just give me a general description because I am too tired to view anything rn

I'm also not knowledgeable about the OWL site cause I use YouTube all the time

[balmy wolf]

at least i was having fun

[limpid grail]

although it's literally the same

[knotty cipher]

I'm watching the stream on the YT mobile app with picture in picture feature, does that still count?

[limpid grail]

it should yes
if you expand PiP and you see connected you should be getting the rewards

[knotty cipher]

Alright, I'm connected

Thx

[limpid grail]

PiP is just a fancy way of saying watching while doing something else but both apps are running simultaneously

[cursive plaza]

/progression isnt working

[limpid grail]

it's not a real command

[knotty cipher]

💀

[cursive plaza]

we've moved to /hour

[limpid grail]

people spam it in the chat to be funny

[cursive plaza]

lol yah ik

[limpid grail]

wait you know that

my BRAIN today

[knotty cipher]

I think someone trolls and types whatever and ppl keep spamming it

[fathom kettle]

guys lets start a new / thing

[cursive plaza]

/stopthespam

[uncut drum]

no

[knotty cipher]

/balls

[balmy wolf]

Who has the feeling that the livestream now is a restream from yesterday's stream

[knotty cipher]

It is

Lol

[uncut drum]

it is that

[balmy wolf]

Bruh

[acoustic cliff]

Is there a way to know if u already watched all the hours needed to get all the drops?

[frosty patrol]

ed has become exponentially dumber than before my mute

[fathom kettle]

lets spam /rewards

[lapis rune]

Does the YouTube page keep crashing for anyone else?

[frosty patrol]

a clock

[fathom kettle]

lagging like shit

[knotty cipher]

There's a main stream and an encore stream, the second main stream is starting tonight and the current encore is the replay of yesterday's main stream
Anyway you still get stuff from watching both

[frosty patrol]

^

[lapis rune]

Yeah mine will lag then will disconnect me from the page so I have to refresh

[balmy wolf]

Thx

[knotty cipher]

Np

[clear holly]

for anyones youtube lagging like hell press "hide chat"

[minor fog]

Should I watch OWL on the internet site or the mobile app?

[limpid grail]

doesn't matter

[rare dune]

chrome was using 4gb of my ram until i relaunched and hid the chat now its using 500mb

[cursive plaza]

Also quality - 144p

[clear holly]

doesnt matter since both are using Youtube, ones just using an embed

[limpid grail]

whatever you prefer

I think non embed is better though

[lapis rune]

Tyvm

[clear holly]

(if you're having on in the background)

[cursive plaza]

yee

[limpid grail]

because YouTube is a video watching site

[fathom kettle]

wtf someone stole my gameplay and is streaming it on the owl youtube channel

[minor fog]

So the site? I’m on phone so idk what’s better

[fathom kettle]

Backbone is my alt acc

[clear holly]

youtube

[limpid grail]

that would be the app

[minor fog]

Ok do I still get the rewards

?

[clear holly]

if your youtube and battlenet are connected yes

[minor fog]

Yeah iv done it both ways

[clear holly]

then yes

[fathom kettle]

kirikos ult is so good

stream keeps crashing even tho im fullscreen

[clear holly]

if you havent hidden the chat the chat is still on in the background

[long lake]

What’s embed and non embed

[clear holly]

(the chat is what makes it lag)

[limpid grail]

embeds are this cool thing on websites where features from another program are used non-natively on a site

like how you embed a gif in discord when you type out a string

YouTube is a mobile app so it doesn't need to embed a YouTube player to work

it's literally the app itself

[knotty cipher]

Watching on the playstation YT app doesn't work right?

[limpid grail]

HTML websites and such do need to embed YouTube software or whatever to be able to watch YouTube videos on a different site

[runic swallow]

Did anyone got anything from yesterdays stream?

[limpid grail]

as long as you are logged in
and you can be connected between battle.net and Google accounts

it should not matter what platform you are on

[knotty cipher]

Did you only get 5 tokens?

[runic swallow]

Yes

[knotty cipher]

Many of us are the same

[frosty patrol]

tokens take a while to be awarded

just chill and wait

[knotty cipher]

48h

And for the skins and other stuff it's on 15th November

[runic swallow]

No Im just checking, just to be sure 😄

ty

[frosty patrol]

yep

[runic swallow]

ty ty

[knotty cipher]

Np

[cursive plaza]

Where'd you hear this info? Is this new League skins or previous ones?

[knotty cipher]

I think on the owl site, lemme check

[lone wyvern]

I wish you could track view time haha

[cursive plaza]

for tokens?

[clear holly]

wdym

its a 48hr wait to get your tokens, atleast i think

and then nov 15th for the skins

[cursive plaza]

meaning when skins are available

[clear holly]

its whenever you get the skins

yes

[cursive plaza]

ah gotcha thanks

[pulsar stone]

must the tab be open to claim rewards or can i switch to another tab?

[lone wyvern]

probably can't mute either but I don't know

[clear holly]

you can mute the tab, but idk about having another tab opened

[lone wyvern]

Twitch lets you track drops...

[knotty cipher]

https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/2022/playoffs?playoffs=perks

[pulsar stone]

y but youtube is too oldschool xd

[cursive plaza]

ty

[frosty patrol]

you can tab out

unlike twitch

[pulsar stone]

nope... muting is not good ..

[frosty patrol]

and you can mute the tab but not the stream just like twitch

[pulsar stone]

ah ty

[frosty patrol]

you can mute the tab but not the stream

[vagrant tundra]

All the chat spamming on the encore is making my browser crash..

[clear holly]

^

[knotty cipher]

Hide chat

[pulsar stone]

i can go on 1% sound than or so right and can watch other videos

[frosty patrol]

to watch other yt videos?

probably like 1% sound yeah

[pulsar stone]

y

different browsers xd

chat is kinda cringe in owl XD

[vagrant tundra]

The chat is filled with bot accounts, so yeah..

[pulsar stone]

same

[vagrant tundra]

And no slowmode

And no mods online

[pulsar stone]

[uncut drum]

most of the chat arent even there for the game they are there for the drops

[lunar schooner]

How long does the encore get streamed for?

[uncut drum]

they dont care about the encores cause the dont really matter

[uncut drum]

all 4 matches

[lunar schooner]

I meant hour/minute-wise

[uncut drum]

but as different streams

[indigo monolith]

So I am fairly new to overwatch and I was watching OWL play offs yesterday and all the teams had the same Como: winston, soujourn, reaper, lucio, kiriko. Like all of them. Granted I think I stopped watching like last 20% of the play offs but is that normal? If this team Como is just that much better isn't there still a glaring balance problem? Has pro overwatch always been like this?

[lone wyvern]

you need the encores cause 3-0s minimized time last night haha

[uncut drum]

1h to 2h per match

[vagrant tundra]

you can literally check

[uncut drum]

so around 7hs

[lunar schooner]

Thanks

[pulsar stone]

y

[lunar schooner]

Idk how man, thats why im asking hahahah

[knotty cipher]

Is the first encore about to end?

[lunar schooner]

Started 45 min ago

[knotty cipher]

Yea I'm watching from start

[vagrant tundra]

As long as yesterday's stream. 7 hours and 16 minutes

[lunar schooner]

Thanks because i didnt know how long it lasted, i just ran it while i slept lol

[vagrant tundra]

fair enough

[indigo monolith]

Really? Doesn't that mean that There is a balance problem? I come from mobas and there is it's always the same team Comp it usually indicates balance problems and fairly quick patches

[pulsar stone]

idk xd

[vagrant tundra]

it's called a meta. there's a new meta pretty much every patch.

[indigo monolith]

I mean sure metas are everywhere

But there's usually somevariety

Not to the point of identical comp

[frosty patrol]

it’s early in the meta so it is probably too early to say we have a definitive issue

[vagrant tundra]

there was a lot of variety yesterday tbf

[frosty patrol]

especially since we saw some variance however limited

[indigo monolith]

Huh? I saw team after te pick the Comp I said

[frosty patrol]

like horse, hog, tracer

[indigo monolith]

Exact same kne

None of them deviated

[frosty patrol]

there was definitely deviation

[pulsar stone]

i hoping to see dva or mercy xd

[indigo monolith]

I guess may be after I stopped watching

[frosty patrol]

we saw a little bit of play on other heroes in some scenarios

[vagrant tundra]

okay, so you didn't watch all the matches.

[indigo monolith]

I thought I watched like 80%

[frosty patrol]

outlaws match I remember orisa and hog being played and mayhem played orisa too

[indigo monolith]

I was there for good 4 to 6 hours

[vagrant tundra]

dva is still meta in the current patch. just not in owl

[frosty patrol]

defiant ran it down on tracer half the time

[indigo monolith]

Oh I see

I guess just my timing

[pulsar stone]

in our patch is zarya dva orisa meta xd

[indigo monolith]

First 2 or 3 matches just had the Comp I mentioned

[frosty patrol]

I will say most variance was on koth

uniform off of it

[modern parrot]

I haven’t gotten my tokens yet from yesterday have you guys

[cobalt zodiac]

Do the encore streams count towards the total 30 hours watch reward thing

[frosty patrol]

but we also saw 0 push

[vagrant tundra]

why do so many people think this is blizzard support

[knotty cipher]

I'm a lil confused about smth
In the league some characters are nerfed, are these nerfs coming to the main game?

[frosty patrol]

yes

[vagrant tundra]

yes. november 15

[knotty cipher]

Yes

Genji getting nerfed

[dire cloud]

I can watch the live on tv, does the hours count?

[knotty cipher]

No

[bold leaf]

They can take up to 48 hours

[dire cloud]

I got only 5 tokens

And i watched 7 hours

😭

[knotty cipher]

Wait from the TV???

[dire cloud]

No

[knotty cipher]

Okay

[knotty cipher]

Can I earn rewards / link my accounts if I'm watching YouTube on TV or media devices?

Rewards are available only on computer, the YouTube mobile app, on YouTube's mobile website m.youtube.com, and through picture-in-picture viewing. If you watch on embedded players or using the YouTube app on TV or on media devices, you will not be eligible for rewards. Learn More

(From the owl site)

[balmy wolf]

Can I have owl running on a different tab and still get the rewards

[vagrant tundra]

This should be a pinned message. So many lazy ppl here that doesn't know how to research things

[knotty cipher]

Alot of things should be pinned

Info about main streams and encore, alot of info from the owl site

[vagrant tundra]

So many people thinks this is Blizzard support or something.. I'm just here to discuss the matches man 😭

[knotty cipher]

Well

Umm

[devout path]

It’s literally on the website

Why would we pin that

[thick radish]

Do they all have to use the same team?

Just wondering

[vagrant tundra]

yeah but ppl are too fkin lazy to try to found things out on their own

so they ask here instead

[devout path]

Then that’s their fault

[cursive plaza]

Pin it

[devout path]

Marth main

[vagrant tundra]

sure, but it's pretty annoying

[knotty cipher]

If someone askes we just tell them to look at the pins

[devout path]

Then ignore it

[knotty cipher]

Alright

[lone wyvern]

youtube is having issues today haha

[ashen dove]

Quick question: does the live right now count as watch time for the reward?

[knotty cipher]

Yes

[steep shell]

What!! I didn't get my skins

[balmy wolf]

hey lol

[magic current]

do encores give tokens?

[limpid grail]

no one got skins

[balmy wolf]

yes

[magic current]

thanks

[balmy wolf]

i just lost my riot account

[steep shell]

Is it a problem or are we just getting them after the end

[limpid grail]

getting them after the end

[steep shell]

And encores count towards yes

[limpid grail]

yes

[sturdy lion]

How long does it take to get the league points

[lone wyvern]

are we getting to choose a team for the skins or are they only giving the gray version? 😄

[willow drum]

grey and white

[rocky summit]

gray and white

[buoyant thistle]

its literally the skins that are shown off on the website https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/2022/playoffs?playoffs=perks

[lone wyvern]

oh that's a lot less exciting then possibly picking a team one each

[iron bane]

Is OWL reruns rn?

[rocky summit]

yes

[iron bane]

Do you get drops from it?

[rocky summit]

yes

[harsh hound]

am i able to get the owl rewards from the premiere that is streaming rn ?

[rocky summit]

.

[harsh hound]

ok!

[steep shell]

Watched 7 hours, got 10 tokens 👍

[cloud latch]

skill issue I watched for 6 hours and got 5 🥱

[sturdy lion]

Do you have to watch it on the overwatch league website to get the rewards

[rocky summit]

no

[magic current]

no i just watch on YouTube

[sturdy lion]

Cause I haven’t gotten anything yet

[fathom igloo]

Just be patient

[rocky summit]

skins are on 15th tokens can be delayed for a while sometimes

[vapid moon]

same

[sturdy lion]

I see thanks

[frosty patrol]

levi you’re supposed to know about this

tokens take a while to drop

I’m disappointed

[cloud latch]

I am disappointed that you think I don't know that

😢

[buoyant jacinth]

You don't

[lone wyvern]

oh bleh, deep in the official rules it says it's the gray skins, screw that.

[cloud latch]

aren't youy a shock fan?

[buoyant jacinth]

Yeah and

[cloud latch]

well then

ratio

[buoyant jacinth]

Cope

[lone wyvern]

I wanted to add more Spark skins to my collection

[cobalt zodiac]

I watched like 5 hours of overwatch league but didn’t get any rewards, why’s that? I did connect my YouTube and ps4 account to my battle net

[near basalt]

Because

Reasons

[zealous vapor]

I don’t think we get rewards until the 15th

[cobalt zodiac]

Ohhh

[abstract sundial]

No, the skins apparently release on the 15th, the tokens are just bugged

[cobalt zodiac]

But I didn’t get any overwatch league tokens either

[vapid moon]

thats for the skins

[zealous vapor]

Also do we get “hours” by watching anything league related or is it just the main stream

[abstract sundial]

Tokens are either delayed or broken

[zealous vapor]

Cuz they are premiering stuff rn

[abstract sundial]

Because a lot of people are only getting 5

[vapid moon]

i watched seven hours and got 10 tokens

[abstract sundial]

Anything play off or finals related counts

[vapid moon]

the rest wont magically appear out of my butthole because its "delayed"

[knotty cipher]

Is the first encore gonna end when the second one starts?

[abstract sundial]

So these test teams count

[vapid moon]

broken shit blizz

[cobalt zodiac]

If I watch 30 hours now will I get all the skins on the 15th? Or do I have to watch another 30 hours then

[frosty patrol]

?

tokens have always taken circa 48 hours

to fully send

[zealous vapor]

Can’t u just rewatch the stream over and over and get 30

[frosty patrol]

this is not new

[knotty cipher]

No

[frosty patrol]

30 hours of streams while live

[distant narwhal]

Does it still count if i have the stream muted and in a different tab?

[zealous vapor]

Do the premiers that are on tube rn count

[frosty patrol]

yes

[cobalt zodiac]

If I watch 30 hours now will I get all the skins on the 15th? Or do I have to watch another 30 hours then

[abstract sundial]

I keep hearing this, but that doesn’t explain why me and others are only getting 5 tokens

[knotty cipher]

Mute the tab not the stream I think and you're good

[knotty cipher]

Watch now and skins will be on your account

15th nov

[hardy crown]

guys encore counts to the tokens

[gleaming prairie]

yo how many owl coins does watching the stream give you?

[cobalt zodiac]

5 per hour

[zealous vapor]

5x hours watched + 100 if u watch 30hrs and maybe more if they do sponsor drops

[knotty cipher]

Dude there are 2 encore stream rn I'm confused lol

[humble crow]

there are?

[static pond]

It does

[humble crow]

i know about the finals encore

whats the second one?

[static pond]

Every hr your reward will take between 48 hrs

To get them

[vapid moon]

gotta watch both at the same time for double tokens... i wish

[knotty cipher]

No no

Nvm

The first encore ended and the second started

Switch everyone, go to the second encore

[cobalt zodiac]

Thx

[humble crow]

what is the encore

the encore isnt there for me

[knotty cipher]

https://youtu.be/6qVhfsGXETA

I think you're watching on PlayOverwatch channel, watch on this one

[humble crow]

im watching on league but encore isnt there for me

[wet plover]

How do I check the league stream time watched?

[outer charm]

can you check the progression towards drops?

[cloud latch]

no lol

[outer charm]

thats unfortunate

[humble crow]

do we get tokens watching the encores

[wet plover]

Can I like open the same fucking tab a few times and will it count as more time watched?

[limpid grail]

no

[daring cedar]

your name answers your question

[limpid grail]

I don't think that has ever worked in the history of ever

[daring cedar]

^

[outer charm]

who are the favourites to win this tournament?

[cloud latch]

yes

[cloud latch]

glads imo

[humble crow]

so its more tokens on top of the original streams?

[outer charm]

and who are the underdogs ig

[silver cradle]

Encore is on now

It is a rebroadcast of the live event from the previous day

[humble crow]

ik

[silver cradle]

Oh sorry

[humble crow]

i watched all of yesterdays

but do i get tokens from watching todays

[cyan forum]

Does OWL have multiple camera angles you can watch or did that stop when the move to YouTube happened

[silver cradle]

I assume so

[humble crow]

thanks though

i hope so

[cyan forum]

Honestly I have watched less OWL since the move

[silver cradle]

You can't watch inside the game anymore?

[cloud latch]

underdogs as in might be scary this tournament or just the ass teams?

[minor trench]

Is it just me thats facing random disconnections?

[cyan forum]

Not sure it was part of the OWL all access with twitch and I haven’t seen an equivalent on YouTube

[limpid grail]

I'll be honest I think

[outer charm]

my question refered to the prior but now i am curious on the latter too. So both XD

[limpid grail]

glads will choke

I can't explain why

I am just not confident in reiner monkey astro lucio rn

[frosty patrol]

spark are underdogs

I have them winning it all #teru

[cloud latch]

imo all teams that won yesterday are all underdogs and philly and defiant just suck ass

[cloud latch]

teru is a cheat code

[limpid grail]

this meta is interesting cause I think the tier 1 teams won't roll as hard

[outer charm]

aah interesting

[limpid grail]

like I'll be honest I didn't even remember the glads in countdown cup

[frosty patrol]

defiant have great players so they have upset potential

[limpid grail]

they just bodied everyone

[frosty patrol]

philly are just dog

[limpid grail]

imo defiant are underdogs compared to Houston

yes houstonable but Houston has pelican merit danteh lastro creative

like that's an insane core

and danteh on monkey

[cloud latch]

I do not believe in houston

[frosty patrol]

muze heesu ch0r0ng twilight is a more insane core

[agile kite]

Guys i need some clarification here

[limpid grail]

defiant just have the typical lesser than sum parts

[frosty patrol]

defiant have throwing coaches

[limpid grail]

but yeah you're right

defiant on paper is insane

[split flume]

someone save twilight and chorong

[limpid grail]

I remember when heesu just did not want to lose 66
and started picking everyone and anyone

[cloud latch]

don't forget heesu

[agile kite]

I watched 3hrs of OWL and also got a skin (Zarya) but aren't you supposed to get 3 OWL/home skins?

[limpid grail]

wait you got a skin
how

[agile kite]

watching owl

[balmy wolf]

[minor trench]

No way no one I know that watched the dream got anything including me

[balmy wolf]

asked

[frosty patrol]

[balmy wolf]

[agile kite]

cant tell if you are troll or an OWL zoomer

[balmy wolf]

troll

[agile kite]

k

[balmy wolf]

[frosty patrol]

real quick does anyone here genuinely believe profit is the goat

[frosty patrol]

diem*

[balmy wolf]

[frosty patrol]

mf says he watched since season 2 and doesn’t know who diem is

[balmy wolf]

i do

[languid marlin]

has anyone checked that we're getting OWL tokens for this replay stream?

[balmy wolf]

he won the widowmaker tournament in season2 allstars

i think he won season 3 too

he was considered the best widow in the world for some time

[karmic charm]

ans won s3 no?

[balmy wolf]

no

[frosty patrol]

no

[cloud latch]

ans runnerup

[balmy wolf]

he lost in the finals

to diem

[frosty patrol]

nah

s3 had 2 widow 1v1 tournaments

ans was NA runner up

forget who won

[balmy wolf]

was it glister?

idk then

[willow drum]

No

[balmy wolf]

diem won for sure tho

[karmic charm]

diem won yeha

[balmy wolf]

who won na then

[karmic charm]

it wasnt split

[balmy wolf]

split?

[cloud latch]

ans was not NA

[frosty patrol]

I swear it was split

WAIT

[cloud latch]

it was split

[frosty patrol]

THEY HAD WESTERNERS AND ASIANS SPLIT

[cloud latch]

he was put in the apac one

[frosty patrol]

NOT BY TEAM

[balmy wolf]

AS I SAID

[karmic charm]

oh yeah

linkzr won na xd

[balmy wolf]

yep

[limpid grail]

baconjack

😱

[balmy wolf]

anyways

[limpid grail]

it's weird

[balmy wolf]

carpe is the best player in the world rn

[limpid grail]

i watched atp's recent goat video

but like

[willow drum]

Ok

[frosty patrol]

atp takes are horrendous

[balmy wolf]

hater

[limpid grail]

I actually do think profit is historically the best player on london

but not on seoul

[willow drum]

Ok

[balmy wolf]

u forgot hadi exists

[limpid grail]

TRUUUUUE

dragged that team back from the brink

goat fr

[balmy wolf]

legend in the making

[limpid grail]

I actually really hope London goes pretty far here

[karmic charm]

I genuinely think London can get top 6

[limpid grail]

not just because they made it so that Philly will come second at best

[cloud latch]

they're against glads unfortunately

because dallas threw

and shock is trolling

[limpid grail]

HUH

[karmic charm]

yeah but then they will play fusion again lmao

[limpid grail]

did Dallas pick uhh

[karmic charm]

spark

[limpid grail]

Hangzhou???

???????

[cloud latch]

yes

[karmic charm]

yeh

[limpid grail]

WHAT ARE THEY DOING

[weary lance]

How long last stream

[karmic charm]

shock picked outlaws

[balmy wolf]

mayhem is by far the strongest from the picked teams

[limpid grail]

sensible choice

[balmy wolf]

they might beat seoul

[karmic charm]

no

[frosty patrol]

picking the eventual champion hangzhou spark

[weary lance]

How long will the stream last for

[cloud latch]

yes I am sure seoul are terrified of the DRON

[balmy wolf]

yes

[frosty patrol]

spark*

[limpid grail]

it's between mayhem and spark for me imo

[frosty patrol]

my champions

[balmy wolf]

REAL

[limpid grail]

like spark on guxue monkey is good

[balmy wolf]

not really

[limpid grail]

good good

[balmy wolf]

shanghai is just genuinly ass

[frosty patrol]

spark are the strongest team in the playoffs, 4th strongest in the world

[frosty patrol]

teru is genuinely the greatest of all time

[karmic charm]

copium

[balmy wolf]

teru slaps

[limpid grail]

also teru actually understands why kiriko is broken as heck

[balmy wolf]

guxue great

[limpid grail]

I need someone to analyze this with me

if you go to spark dragons on oasis University

[balmy wolf]

mayhem is gonna get third prolly

[limpid grail]

you will literally see why this character is stupid broken

[balmy wolf]

apac is gonna get boomed

[karmic charm]

I doubt it

[balmy wolf]

yet again

[karmic charm]

mayhem will get top 6 at best, probably top 8

[limpid grail]

teru is playing like release brig it's so hilarious

I see mayhem top 8

until the dron activates

then top 4 easy

[balmy wolf]

top 4

imo

[thick radish]

Didn’t these matches in the encore go on yesterday or what

[balmy wolf]

only dallas shock and glads can compete

[karmic charm]

mayhem lose to seoul then play atlanta again

[frosty patrol]

no NA team is top 7 overall

#real

[balmy wolf]

win against seoul u mean

[karmic charm]

no

[balmy wolf]

apac is ass

even at dive

[limpid grail]

like I can't explain it
but I realistically see the glsds beating up London then choking to all heck

[balmy wolf]

what they are supposed to be best at

[frosty patrol]

common NA copium

[limpid grail]

I think apac actually has gotten worse at dive over the years 💀

[balmy wolf]

not even

[karmic charm]

London can't get tournament cursed again this time therefore they win

[balmy wolf]

lmao yeah

[limpid grail]

but that's because being forced to play joats messes with everyone's head

imo the last fun OW 1 meta was meicree

[balmy wolf]

a meta where shanghai can win

[cloud latch]

apac has less people to scrim unfortunately

[balmy wolf]

u cant take it serious

joats was so horrible

[limpid grail]

Shanghai don't choke challenge (easy)

[frosty patrol]

no na team touches spark szn

[limpid grail]

the only good thing about joats was whoru and pelican on genji

frfr

[balmy wolf]

real

[cloud latch]

hanbin was the only thing good about joats 😻

[balmy wolf]

whoru was the best player on shanghai

now its lip

[frosty patrol]

when

[cloud latch]

always has been

[balmy wolf]

but he cant carry these washed players

[karmic charm]

wait whoru is still in owl??

[frosty patrol]

this has never been the case

[limpid grail]

I'll be honest though I wish someone would pull out joats as a counter comp

[balmy wolf]

joats meta

[frosty patrol]

lip has been the best dps in the world for 2 years

[limpid grail]

like it would just be funny to see

but kiriko is meta sadly

[frosty patrol]

he is clear of whoru

[balmy wolf]

yeah

but

[cedar oasis]

jimmy??????

[balmy wolf]

in joats whoru carried more

[frosty patrol]

even if whoru is the best genji in the multiverse lip is the best sojourn in the multiverse

[frosty patrol]

china is not the world

[static pond]

I don’t think apac had enough t time to practice

[limpid grail]

Jimmy??????

[cunning patrol]

It’s so funny seeing ppl say shy is better because his team won

[limpid grail]

😱

[frosty patrol]

it’s above the mortal plane

[balmy wolf]

i didnt say he wasnt the best sojourn in apac

[cunning patrol]

It shows how little people understand this game

[limpid grail]

guxue dove lip every other second

[balmy wolf]

lip is clearly the best hitscan

[cloud latch]

mike is actually memicus

[static pond]

Because some of apac team were still arriving between the 5 days to practice

[cunning patrol]

Real

[limpid grail]

good Winston play fr

[frosty patrol]

shy is the 4th best starter on his team right now

[cunning patrol]

Guxue enabled shy way harder

Yeah he is

Lol

It’s only been one game

[frosty patrol]

we are similar but sworn eternal rivals

[cunning patrol]

Can one of you go back and count the fights Shanghai won without lip carrying

[limpid grail]

this meta is funny
no one is truly diveable so it's like everyone moving around in a group storm

[cunning patrol]

I’m sure it’s sub 10

[cloud latch]

there were none

[frosty patrol]

sub 1 #real

[balmy wolf]

the only reason dragons won that shit is cuz apac teams cant play brawl for shit even tho its an easy ass comp thats just braindead and boring

[cloud latch]

I have counted in 0.25 speed as well

[limpid grail]

this comp is like

[cunning patrol]

I’m sure fleta won them at least one fight with a blossom

[frosty patrol]

boreas please understand you are biased to the point that xi will assassinate you

[limpid grail]

monkey jump
monkey zap
monkey rage
monkey nap

[frosty patrol]

#china

[cloud latch]

lip took over his pc?

[balmy wolf]

biased in what way

[cunning patrol]

Real

[static pond]

Fleta also lost them fights imo

[limpid grail]

and then kiriko ult wins a fight

[balmy wolf]

my only bias is that carpe is the best player in the world rn

[limpid grail]

path is so unbelievably broken its hilarious

[frosty patrol]

north america bias

[outer charm]

i noticed both teams are using the same comp, is it because the characters are very very strong or just meta in this map?

[static pond]

Waiting to long to ult

[limpid grail]

it's just powercrept matrix

[static pond]

Meta

[limpid grail]

both

[cunning patrol]

Most teams haven’t gotten that much out of them

[static pond]

Plus not enough time to practice imo

[balmy wolf]

watch apac go out without beating one na team

[static pond]

Or figure it@out

[balmy wolf]

besides toronto maybe

[limpid grail]

yeah that's the hilarious part

[cunning patrol]

Seoul
