[willow drum]

on SJ

[lost thicket]

edison has good storyline and good play, matched just about everyone on jou

[limpid grail]

lip is insane

[willow drum]

lip is the best HS in the world

[lost thicket]

I agree

[willow drum]

and it is not particularly close

[lost thicket]

LIP gosu

but this season it's

LIP Edison top 2 with Proper Shy Mer1t etc close by imo

proper might be better then edi

but he is insane aswell

[foggy stag]

Winston already has an MVP skin

[willow drum]

proper played better than edison

[foggy stag]

So maybe they'll do someone else

[lost thicket]

and matches everyone so I gotta respect Edison here

[willow drum]

that series imho

[lost thicket]

Yeah me too

[willow drum]

sojourn

[lost thicket]

but you can't say Edison didn't match him near the end

[willow drum]

prolly

[lost thicket]

I think it's just the dallas system and Edison being real smart about it

edison is HIM sometimes (WHEN IT MATTERS)

and LIP is HIM all the time

[foggy stag]

We've never had a zarya league skin so maybe them

[lost thicket]

2019

Sinatraa MVP skin

Alien Zarya

[foggy stag]

We don't talk about that one

[willow drum]

it wont be zarya

[slate siren]

Soujurn please

[foggy stag]

Lucio my beloved ❤️❤️❤️

[slate siren]

No Lucio I’m afraid

[foggy stag]

It's a terrible day for rain

[slate siren]

Hamster skin incoming

[willow drum]

S1: Winston (centerpiece to dive meta)
S2: Doomfist (centerpiece in double shield)
S3: Roadhog (centerpiece in that mickeymouse playoffs)
S4: Sombra (centerpiece for shd comp)
S5: Sojourn (centerpiece in whatever this meta is called)

[foggy stag]

What if they give it to doomfist

Like again

[willow drum]

why

[foggy stag]

Funny

[willow drum]

would they give it to a tank

ok

[foggy stag]

One shot

[slate siren]

SOJOURN YESSSS

PLEAASEEE

[willow drum]

its defo sj

[slate siren]

I have 1k tokens rn

[willow drum]

since she doesnt have owl skin yet

and is popular

[willow drum]

ok

[slate siren]

I need the skin

Please make it good Dallas

[lost thicket]

Alright main tanks

Mikeyy? no he played good but his only standout performance was GF

Fearless?

same case

Smurf?

[willow drum]

who

are we talking about

and why

[lost thicket]

ranking the top 2 MTS this season

[nocturne hedge]

What’s mts

[lost thicket]

making a reddit post so people talk about it cause bored

[lost thicket]

traditional Main tanks

[willow drum]

smurf

and

someone

[lost thicket]

mmm

I was gonna mention someone yeah

[willow drum]

you can argue reiner over someone

but i personally disagree

since someone was the better monkey this season

[lost thicket]

I think someone is more consistent on all heroes but has a lower peak?

also what about danteh

[willow drum]

no

not him

LOLL

[lost thicket]

should I mention him on HO for OTs?

[willow drum]

proper got his way with houston cause danteh didnt presssure proper

[willow drum]

no

[lost thicket]

do you know what HO is

[willow drum]

no

[lost thicket]

?

Honorable Mentions

like

not top 2 but top tier good player shit

since he is kinda a OT player I guess

[limpid grail]

HMs *

[warped cobalt]

Do we get the grand final rewards for the Encore stream?

[lost thicket]

sorry

[willow drum]

isnt honorary mention

HM

[lost thicket]

Lmao

[willow drum]

but hes also not HM for OT

coluge hawk void space hanbin

are all better players

[lost thicket]

yeah brain didn't think

[warped cobalt]

^

[lost thicket]

space too little playtime sadge

[willow drum]

yes

[limpid grail]

frankly it should be sojourn

[pastel ore]

Does anyone know if the grand finals time count towards the 30 hours for the playoffs, or just the grand finals reward times?

[warped cobalt]

ok thank you

[limpid grail]

because it'll get people to buy a skin for her

which makes them money!

[lost thicket]

Imma go Reiner and Smurf since Reiner played more heroes with a HM to Someone Fearless Mikeyy

[warped cobalt]

think it’s just the grand final rewards

[willow drum]

do not give mikeyy that HM

if u give anybody a HM

it is someone

only give 1 HM

[lost thicket]

alright fair gonna give one 1 HM for the tanks sub role

[pastel ore]

@warped cobalt Well, that's not that helpful haha. I hope they have some more playoff encores then

[willow drum]

both

[nocturne hedge]

It’s in 3hrs

[warped cobalt]

that’s the GF encore which only counts to the GF rewards

[nocturne hedge]

Oh it does?!

[warped cobalt]

pretty sure but i wouldn’t take my word for it

[nocturne hedge]

nice

coluge prob shaking his fist at the air rn

[willow drum]

Hanbin Void Someone Smurf Proper Kevster Lip Fits Fastro Vindaim Shu Fielder

[nocturne hedge]

HE DIDNT PRACTICE???

[willow drum]

top 2 players in each role

[willow drum]

coluge would have been fucked

[clever sonnet]

I’m so happy Dallas fuel won

[willow drum]

coluge plays the game too slow

mikeyy was their only chance

since he had a fast tempo

[fading wing]

coluge timid

still in ow1

but to not practice your tanks on anything but koth

[clever sonnet]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxOAVEOFXAzpRztuRcHZukjxPrAaYt0pDs

[nocturne hedge]

And he’s pro too

[lost thicket]

Now ot

Coluge and Hanbin

very easy choice imo

[willow drum]

thats not how it works

[lost thicket]

with HM to Hawk or Danteh that is the hard part

[willow drum]

your coaches decide how much you scrim

since ow2 didnt have this gf patch

how the fuck do you grind ranked

[cursive ridge]

yall think on the 15th esports colors for the 3 new characters will be added?

[fading wing]

this is it

[balmy wolf]

Hi guys, weren't the devs supposed to open a Owl all star skins Vault for us to buy?

[fading wing]

it’s not like it was 100% mikeyys choice

but fuck

[willow drum]

well its like theyre fucked if they play luge

might as well gamble with mikeyy

[clever sonnet]

I’m surprised Houston outlaws went this far

I love outlaws 🦆

[golden hound]

I’m glad they made it this far

[clever sonnet]

Same

Used to be one of the worst team to be 3rd place

[golden hound]

Atleast Dallas won instead of shock winning for what? A third time in a row?

[arctic junco]

good morning

[tender acorn]

OWL was funnnn last night

I might go back to watching that

[balmy wolf]

Thx for the answer.

[clever sonnet]

LDN won 2018
Shock won 2019
Shock won 2020
Shanghai dragon won 2021
Dallas fuel won 2022

[cursive ridge]

dallas have made it up to the top from being the literal worst team in the league at one point

[nocturne hedge]

First team to win owl in ow2

[arctic junco]

fr

[arctic junco]

that’s lowkey a huge feat if u think abt it

[cursive ridge]

i was rooting for the shock 3 peat but i can rock with this

[nocturne hedge]

It literally came out a few weeks ago

[cursive ridge]

they played ow2 in its beta in the league

[nocturne hedge]

But it’s also basically the same thing just worse than ow1

[willow drum]

every team that won after 2018

was a bottom 4 team

btw

now its mayhems turn

[cursive ridge]

not worse for sure

[agile shuttle]

weren't the devs supposed to open a Owl all star skins Vault for us to buy?

[cursive ridge]

its alantas turn to get back what shanghai stole last year

[willow drum]

its never

atlants turn

as long as they have spehy

they wont be @ the top

[cursive ridge]

pelican can carry trust

[willow drum]

pelican isnt on

atl

[cursive ridge]

and hopefully get rid of spehy

[nocturne hedge]

I want the pirates in pyjamas to win 💀

[cursive ridge]

they had pelican my bad

[willow drum]

who is excited

to watch o2 blast

get their 7th title

in contenders

[north loom]

Looking for hot lady for our team

[nocturne hedge]

I am hot man

[cedar oasis]

ME

[north loom]

Cool join our team

[north loom]

Cool

[cedar oasis]

I love watching contenders

[willow drum]

unbelievable that

heesang max and bliss

[north loom]

I am also rank 1 cassidy

[willow drum]

will make somebody unbeatable

[willow drum]

wrong

nobody is better than lip at cassidy

💀

[cedar oasis]

You said it buddy

[willow drum]

i am not sure if that one team

is shock

or dragons

[cedar oasis]

I hope it's not shock

[willow drum]

i mean shock will win either way

because if dragons get all 3

then shock prolly get lip and a shit ton of money

[merry coral]

Is contenders happening rn?

[willow drum]

and u cant beat proper lip

no matter how hard u try

[cedar oasis]

Imagine they get all 3 and they keep lip

[willow drum]

couple of days

[merry coral]

Ah gotcha

[willow drum]

then shock still get like

[cursive ridge]

i cant wait for contenders

[willow drum]

so much money

for the buyout

that they could prolly purchase good pieces

[cursive ridge]

im honestly just excited for ow2 league stuff

[cedar oasis]

Doesnt matter who they get no one is beating those 3 and lip

[willow drum]

sadly they are APAC

and NA is a surperior region

[cedar oasis]

Tru

Apac does suck

[lost thicket]

ms should be Vindaim Chiyo right

?

[willow drum]

sure

[slate siren]

most underwhelming team in yalls opinion?

[willow drum]

fastro vindaim chiyo

are all top 3

i cant order them

[lost thicket]

fastro I feel like just fell off a cliff

[willow drum]

glads fell off a cliff

[cedar oasis]

Glads fell off

[lost thicket]

hell I'd say viol2t and Lastro are better then him

[willow drum]

individually he is still a goat

on MS

[willow drum]

shut up

[cedar oasis]

Ew

[lost thicket]

I am right

[willow drum]

lastro is so bad on MS

it is unbelievably sad

[lost thicket]

atleast on the latter half of the season

[willow drum]

to watch him beat

[cedar oasis]

Violet better then fastro??

[willow drum]

violet and lastro > fastro

[slate siren]

Superich is the best support

[willow drum]

is schizo talk

[lost thicket]

kept up with him during glads peak

[willow drum]

please shut up.

[lost thicket]

and is better latter half

[willow drum]

superrich is a Z tier player

[lost thicket]

imo

[willow drum]

no

[slate siren]

Teru is so impressive

[willow drum]

just misinformation

[willow drum]

real

dullahan just do not talk about shock players

and people wont hate ur opinions

bc ur clearly biased

[cedar oasis]

Worst part is that he thinks his takes are good

[lost thicket]

I mean stats wise he is better latter half and in games v glads he could keep up

[cedar oasis]

💀

[slate siren]

I love Teru I think he’s a top 3 support in the league

[willow drum]

ur baiting me

[willow drum]

stats dont mean anything

[slate siren]

what baiting

Shy is prolly the best dps I’ve ever seen play in the OWL

maybe after proper

[lost thicket]

fair point there

[tropic herald]

lip

[willow drum]

bro do not talk about

shy

[willow drum]

hes baiting

[slate siren]

shy the goat

[willow drum]

hes a baiting spark fan

notice how hes only hyped up spark players

[novel basalt]

@cedar oasis Edison is goated and sparkle made some insane plays with reaoer

[tropic herald]

lip is the only dps i saw make proper look like a bum

[novel basalt]

Like holy cow

[lost thicket]

but even still I feel like viol2t did more for shock then fastro did for glads latter half of the season

[novel basalt]

Best finals I saw yet

[willow drum]

greatly exagerated

btw

lip did not make proper look like a bum

[tropic herald]

he did

[lost thicket]

Lip gosu

[willow drum]

proper was the only player that somewhat held his own

against lip

[lost thicket]

proper better but lip gosu

[slate siren]

nope, I appreciate every player in the league

[cedar oasis]

Tru fearless is also still the best monkey

[willow drum]

proper isnt > lip

on any HS character

but he is the best dps player

[lost thicket]

I meant overall

[willow drum]

i agree

[plucky helm]

does final and final encore still give tokens?

[novel basalt]

Fearless actually transformed friend to a monke main, dude refused to die MVP deserved

[cursive ridge]

i think proper is the best sojourn rn

[lost thicket]

Yes

[lost thicket]

Lip is

[slate siren]

misspelled shy

[limpid grail]

misspelled lip

[cursive ridge]

shy is 4th imo

[slate siren]

nope

[cursive ridge]

edison

[lost thicket]

do you think proper matches lip on any hitscan? @willow drum

closest is Jou imo

[limpid grail]

cole cassidy

⏸️

[cursive ridge]

maybe ashe?

[willow drum]

jorn

on a good day for proper

and a very bad day for lip

[novel basalt]

I got my hat signed by Edison at the grand finals

[willow drum]

but otherwise no

[cursive ridge]

W

[novel basalt]

W

[lost thicket]

fair ig

I got jou and MAYBE widow

[limpid grail]

i'm convinced the people who buffed zen did not use their brains

[slate siren]

shy humbled and embarrassed the entire team of dragons in the first round of the playoffs which sent them to the losers which sent them back home.

[cursive ridge]

propers widow isnt all that

but proper on sojourn or genji is crazy

and tracer ofc

[willow drum]

have you seen

his widow

[cursive ridge]

yes

[willow drum]

are we talking about the same player

[cursive ridge]

lips widow better imo

[lost thicket]

alright these are my HMs Shy Mer1t Proper heesu
Pelican zest patiphan profit
Someone
Danteh

[willow drum]

so you also watched him

dominate happy

with the rest of us

right

[cursive ridge]

i also watched shy beat him on widow

[willow drum]

when did shy beat him on widow

btw

you are spreading false info

[lost thicket]

winners are LIP edison Proper Kevster Smurf reiner Hanbin coluge

[karmic charm]

shy played... sojourn

pineapple played widow

[lost thicket]

lel

[willow drum]

and they all got gaped 😭

[slate siren]

I watched shy beat the entire roster of the dragons 3-1 that tells me all I wanna know

[cursive ridge]

💀 dont mind me

[slate siren]

Pineapple was garbage lmfao

[cursive ridge]

do they still do mvp skins after sinatraa?

[slate siren]

No clue

[willow drum]

no

[slate siren]

idts tho

[willow drum]

theyd ont

[slate siren]

Why

[lost thicket]

sinatraa got accused

and they decided

Ops

never doing that again

[slate siren]

Oh pk@

[lost thicket]

simple as

[slate siren]

When is the vault opening

[lost thicket]

No idea

[limpid grail]

communication challenge (hard)

i refuse to believe that none of the devs saw how oppressive mercy pocket sojourn is

[slate siren]

So who was to blame for shocks loss

[cursive ridge]

fearless*

[lost thicket]

R66

alright top 2 Flex supports

last ones

Shu? Viol2t? Lastro? Fielder?

FUCKING TERU?

[willow drum]

shu and fielder

l

[cursive ridge]

i want the new models to have the team color skins

[edgy folio]

mfw still no rewards after 48 hours

[arctic junco]

the skins should appear by like the 15th

[cursive ridge]

but my coins that i should have

[granite crystal]

League coins broken?

[cursive ridge]

i have 120

when i watched literally every single day

[cloud agate]

u will get more soon

chill

[granite crystal]

Had 80 a few days ago but now i have 75?

[cursive ridge]

its just weird to hand out half the rewards

its chill tho

[cloud agate]

do u think im having a grwat life knowing damn well i only need one more dallas skin to finish the collection

[balmy wolf]

I need healing

[cloud agate]

its hard out here being a dallas fan

[cursive ridge]

yeah its great to know that you have almost completed the collection

glass half full my friend

i guess in your case 99% full

[tropic herald]

i have run the numbers

despite winning in 3-1 fashion

[cloud agate]

only need that damn ass moira skin

[tropic herald]

lip had more final blows over the whole series than proper did

[cloud agate]

tbh didnt know how we almost lost to shock

[cursive ridge]

it made sense

[cloud agate]

i remember getting smoked by muma and jake in 2018

[cursive ridge]

but your tank is inane

fearless really did what he had too

[cloud agate]

against the outlaws

[willow drum]

proper moment

[cloud agate]

but one thing i hated was them team compa

always the same

dont know what to say

if fearless is better

than xqc

[calm knoll]

They said the vault was going to open during grand finals. they just straight out lie?

[cursive ridge]

wasnt that in 2021?

[calm knoll]

in the community update a month ago they said there will be an unvaulting during grand finals

[willow drum]

he is

[lost thicket]

that'd be fair but I feel like fieder didn't have any stand out performances till playoffs

tho maybe it's just cause hanbin overshadowed most of dallas

[short gate]

Hey just a question about the drops

So I had every stream on watching overnight, is it a guarantee I'll get all the rewards or do I need to watch an extra stream later maybe

[cobalt plank]

Hey what dps should i main sojourn or reaper

[cedar oasis]

junkrat

[cobalt plank]

Bro

Junkrat isnt even good in most maps

[cedar oasis]

lies

junkrat can oneshot most heroes every time he has mines

[cursive ridge]

sojourn if you want to main the best dps in the game

[cobalt plank]

In low comp maybe

[cobalt plank]

K thank you

[cedar oasis]

in any comp

[gilded kernel]

Damn the rewards are pretty delayed huh

[cobalt plank]

Most of the time every hero has movement so you bassically want do anything

[gilded kernel]

Junkrat is super good what

[cobalt plank]

Not higher level comp

[cedar oasis]

thats why you time it or sneak up on them

simple really

[gilded kernel]

Pretty sure any hero is good at any level if the person has a good understanding of how the hero works and well

Can actually aim

[cobalt plank]

Yeah agreed but i asked for what i could main best rn

[gilded kernel]

Play who you like to play and get good with them

That's pretty much it

[cobalt plank]

.

[gilded kernel]

Are you specifically playing those two because they were like the only 2 DPS in OWL

[cobalt plank]

I mained reaper in ow1 amf sojourn i have played almost whole ow2 so thats why

[gilded kernel]

We can't tell you who to main. So just play who you like

[cobalt plank]

K ty

[karmic charm]

both are going to be meta next patch so doesn't matter

[strange jasper]

ive watched a good couple of hours yet i have not gotten any skins or tokens, does it take more than a few days for them to appear?

[storm citrus]

haven't watched much of the owl this season is this the last match?

[karmic charm]

the last match was yesterday

today is just a rerun

of it

[storm citrus]

ah ok thanks

no spoilers bro

[earnest shoal]

does the encore twitch stream work for drops?

[loud ore]

the twitch drops and the youtube drops are different

[earnest shoal]

for the youtube drops

like the encore overwatch stream

[loud ore]

the owl skins and tokens only drop from the official youtube streams

twitch is now dropping the winton fursona skin

[next mesa]

Stay off this server btw for spoiler free

[plucky helm]

?

new drops now?

[loud ore]

started couple days ago methinks

[plucky helm]

oh

The werewolf skin?

[loud ore]

yep

and spray

[plucky helm]

oh damn

I already had it kinda dumb they don’t give you anything in replace for it

[loud ore]

OWL spoilers: NYXL didn't win the grand finals

[gilded kernel]

I find it really stupid that the final match was on push. Don't get me wrong it was a close finals, but that mode is so one sided it's so stupid

[ancient nebula]

I dont know how but Blizzard really needs to figure out a way to shake up the meta in pro play. No one likes seeing the same mirror match over and over. It's incredibly boring to me personally

[loud ore]

add hero bans

[gilded kernel]

I find it funny people are saying to nerf Moira when she wasn't used at all

[loud ore]

2 per team since soujourn will always be banned

[slender tinsel]

did the encore started earlier?

[loud ore]

worry not, Ramattra will shake up the meta when he gets added as a hard counter to Sojourn, Kiriko and also Lucio

since Blizz can't add characters that don't break the game for a whole season

[gilded kernel]

4 PM

[gilded kernel]

For a live service game they're sure sitting on their asses to wait to release a few minor edits to a couple lines of code

[slender tinsel]

is 2pm for me

[limpid grail]

blizz when they make a minor adjustment (it destroys the entire game)

😱

[gilded kernel]

They really couldn't keep OW1 up until OW2s full release was ready

[karmic charm]

ow1 was so dead tho

perma double shield wasnt fun or healthy

[gilded kernel]

It's better than 5v5 where I get streamrolled or spawn camped in 70% of my matches

[ancient nebula]

It's just weird they had to play playoffs on a completely different game lol

[loud ore]

i like the 5v5 format way better personally, i just don't like they didn't rebalance the support characters like they did the tanks

[gilded kernel]

Like, did Blizzard not account that the basis of the game was made for 6v6? At least when one tank died the team has another to keep it together, but now here when the tank dies it's a steamroll

[loud ore]

half of the supports don't work at all now without an off tank defending the backline

and the new maps with way more flanking routes are fun to play as long as you're not support

(not that off tanks defended the backline before, but that's just a skill issue)

[gilded kernel]

I guarantee you 5v5 was only made to justify a cash grab sequel, I'm glad the gameplay is faster but the tradeoffs aren't worth it

[cedar oasis]

what are yall on about

ana wins every 1v1 against any dps

[gilded kernel]

A *good Ana

[cedar oasis]

if the dps and ana are at the same skill level the ana wins

[loud ore]

not the Anas on my team they can't sleep a hog standing still

[cedar oasis]

thats a skill issue

not a game issue

or a balance issue

[gilded kernel]

Don't get me wrong. I'm only low silver on PC and high gold on console, but I've played the game long enough to see obvious flaws with the balance and decisions they made

[cedar oasis]

ana and kiriko are op?

[gilded kernel]

I feel like Push would be more bearable on 6v6

[gilded kernel]

Kirko's pretty balanced, her kit seems like it was made for 5v5

[loud ore]

i just think the supports also needed to be rebalanced for the new faster format

[gilded kernel]

Sojurn was 100% made for 6v6

[cedar oasis]

kiriko shits on any dps in a 1v1

[gilded kernel]

No way she should do that much damage in a 5v5 format

[gilded kernel]

Meh, only if you know how to get a good headshot in there

[cedar oasis]

she has immortality and she can tp away

[loud ore]

nah the bath bomb is op on deathmatch

considering it also insta heals

[steep shell]

anyone get the skins yet

[gilded kernel]

She's still not OP lol, 200 health, a single second immortality that you have to use pretty damn accurately or else you've waste 15(?) seconds, 40 for a body and 120 for a headshot, but they're projectiles and not hitscan

[loud ore]

and since it is a projectile with gravity you can throw it up and have it land on you and mlg against a ana

[loud ore]

i stopped getting any two days ago, nothing has dropped for me and i watched all the playoffs and the final

[steep shell]

I didn't get any, I was told we get them after the events over

[loud ore]

i'm hoping blizz will give me the tokens at least so i can buy a skin when tey decide to open the vault

[cedar oasis]

huh strange sounds like if you hit your sots she is op

and she can tp awaty

and wall climb

[gilded kernel]

I can't hit my shots at all

[loud ore]

i constantly forget kimiko can wall climb

[cedar oasis]

thats a skill issue

she is op

[gilded kernel]

I have not seen one person complain about her

[loud ore]

and when i remember there is a ceiling on the wall and i die

[gilded kernel]

That's like, for any character

💀

[loud ore]

i actually though she kinda sucked at first, i don't like her healing much

[cedar oasis]

huh sounds like the game is kinda balanced then

[loud ore]

at least shes fun to play

[gilded kernel]

It is. If you hit your shots you're good, if you can't you die

That's pretty much any shooting game

[potent saddle]

hadi had my heart

[loud ore]

the new ow2 characters are fun to play, hopefully the robot one will also be fun

[gilded kernel]

Junker Queen needs some slight buffs to her health, bleed damage and healing from said bleed

[stoic echo]

are drops enabled for encore?

[gilded kernel]

She feels a bit weak

[potent saddle]

i would assume so

[gilded kernel]

They are

[stoic echo]

cool time to rewatch

[gilded kernel]

If the diamond is there it's a drop stream/premier

[stoic echo]

thanks for the heads up, had no idea that mean something

[gilded kernel]

Most likely, although they really need to nerf's Soujurn's hold time for the charge and the build up time in general, I think she should one shot but not that frequently

[loud ore]

i feel like they need to nerf her aoe thingie

it deals way too much damage, at a range and also slows

[gilded kernel]

I haven't seen too many issues with it, it's more of an annoyance to me

[lusty musk]

encore is just a replay of the grand finales right

[tropic herald]

yes

but you still get watchtime from it

[lusty musk]

ight

[waxen mica]

PROPER MVP

[loud ore]

finally we have a proper mvp in the league

someone that can play properly

[potent saddle]

hehe

[waxen mica]

Proper goated asg

[sullen berry]

Grand Finals Encore so goated

playing 18 hours later

[waxen mica]

I cant even imagine the pressure

[sullen berry]

no one can

proper just played his game, no matter how bad the loss they've had

[waxen mica]

Homie was carrying for a bit tbh

[karmic charm]

2018 was a time

[empty hare]

ive watched the entire stream and its been over 48 hours and i still havent rercieved my points

[arctic junco]

you wont get the skins till november 15th i think

and then anything else i think arrives at the same time

[empty hare]

im not talking abt the skins tho

cuz i have like 100 points rn

[arctic junco]

^^

[empty hare]

so why do some come llater

[arctic junco]

They come later so that all viewers get them at around the same time

[loud ore]

i have some of the skins in game already tho

[empty hare]

yea same

[loud ore]

is it only the grand finals ones that drop later?

[empty hare]

why do they give uu points

than

wait too give u the rest

u cant even get shit with the amnt i have

[karmic charm]

just be patient

omds

[loud ore]

i had the skins up to ball dva and ashe tier, cass phara and echo didn't drop

[empty hare]

I am

i just dont understand why give u points than wait to give u the rest

literally makes 0 sensee

[loud ore]

i didn't even get the points

[gloomy raven]

the sojourn duel through out that gane was crazy

[empty hare]

yea idk

[gloomy raven]

game*

[empty hare]

they come so late

[loud ore]

(inb4 it's not supposed to behave that way and there's a very annoyed programmer at Blizz trying to figure out why it's doing that)

[empty hare]

and ii probably wont even get the correct ammount

[empty hare]

crazy

[ember hornet]

anyone know when u receive the skins? I’ve heard it’s nov. 15

[empty hare]

the skins suck

[ember hornet]

I mean I like the look of them

[loud ore]

i just want the tokens tbh

[empty hare]

same

[empty hare]

i dont

[hollow trellis]

no one asked

[ember hornet]

fair enough

[loud ore]

so if the gods at blizz decide to consider us worth enough of opening the vault i can buy the atlantic mercy skin that i missed last time by 30 points

[empty hare]

who even are u bro

[hollow trellis]

just a messenger 🤡 💣

[empty hare]

idgaf

[ember hornet]

ah yes it’s a beautiful skin just imo the gold gun looks a little out of place w it 🫠

[balmy wolf]

when does season 6 start ;-;

[loud ore]

bro were at season 1

[balmy wolf]

fine

excuse

[gloomy raven]

s2*

[loud ore]

(december 6 i get what you mean)

[balmy wolf]

season 2

dec 6?

[gloomy raven]

yea

[balmy wolf]

thanks ❤️

[empty hare]

Np

[gloomy raven]

ramattra looks like zen but emo

[loud ore]

tbh i kinda like the away owl skins

[tawdry glen]

They’re white with orange accents

[loud ore]

yes i am aware

[tawdry glen]

Yes

We all r

[leaden flame]

how the hell are we supposed to watch 30 hours idek if the playoff matches even totalled 30 hours

[loud ore]

glad this has been established

[gloomy raven]

i like home better tbh but both are good

[loud ore]

playoffs + encore

[empty hare]

do the encores give u points

[tawdry glen]

No

[loud ore]

yes

[empty hare]

which one

[leaden flame]

Yeah, its not fair to other regions to have to watch it at 3 am

[hollow trellis]

the left one

[empty hare]

i think its pretty fair

[leaden flame]

it makes sense and im so angry i didnt realize it until now

I only watched like 15-20 max then

[empty hare]

points are broken rn anyway

[loud ore]

you can check on youtube if the connected diamong is there you are getting watchtime for the points

it is there in encore

[empty hare]

prolly wont even get them till next year

[loud ore]

they will open the vault, then close it and give the points one day after it closes

[empty hare]

wym

[hollow trellis]

the vault will surely open

[loud ore]

yes the vault is opening trust me guys it's not a delusion it definitely will

[empty hare]

it wont

[loud ore]

i can dream

[empty hare]

nah

[solar granite]

Yo so when i watch this encore match, will i receive the kiriko skins ans such or will it count as playoff watch time

[loud ore]

i think it might, they have to boost those Q4 earnings somehow

[tawdry glen]

What’s the vault

[loud ore]

the old special OWL skins that are not available anymore

[tawdry glen]

I think it counts as grand finals time

[tawdry glen]

Oh

[loud ore]

ancient legends say it will open

[solar granite]

Hoping it will

[loud ore]

and we shall once again be blessed by mercy one tricks that don't damage boost wanting to show their new skin

[thick radish]

Do encores count towards hourly rewards or no

[tawdry glen]

☠️

[tawdry glen]

No

[thick radish]

Alr sweet

I’m not watching the finals again

[fathom igloo]

Yes they do

[tawdry glen]

Shhh

[loud ore]

you don't have to, just leave a tab open on another monitor and mute it

[thick radish]

I got a phone, and no access to my lab top

[loud ore]

you can even play overwatch while watching

or use the time to play a game that doesn't suck

[tawdry glen]

W

Like botw

[loud ore]

can't you also get thingies from watching on the yt app?

[tawdry glen]

Yeah

[sullen berry]

you can, but would you rather have to keep a youtube app open all stream or use your phone as a phone?

[tawdry glen]

It has the connected diamond

[tawdry glen]

Ofc not it’s inconvenient

[sullen berry]

I tried multitasking on an iPad and yeah you could keep it running on the side, it's just the next best option

this crowd gets so hype when sojourn gets an opening

[loud ore]

can't modern phones selectively mute apps? mine can

and even if youtube is being a bitch about it you can still have background play on the browser

(if it's not chrome, cos chrome sucks ass)

[sullen berry]

I have a flip phone friend and he did that to prove it does work

it's just a battery drainer at best

[fathom igloo]

I'm so happy edi out played proper

Proper in my eyes was overrated

[tawdry glen]

What

[sullen berry]

As Fielder usually does

to the ire of little to no credit this season

last year's role star was compensation for being able to remote play from Korea while the team were in Paris

"Paris"

being new jersey

[twilit oriole]

Your acc dumb

If you think that

[fast sorrel]

when

proper was nuking edison for the majority of that series

[willow drum]

nobody believes this....

[fathom igloo]

It was obvious in the first couple of maps

[fast sorrel]

?

[willow drum]

?

[fast sorrel]

first couple

edison only had him on the first map

what

exactly lol

[willow drum]

proper diffed the fuck out of edison

the first half

and lets not talk about oasis...

[fast sorrel]

edison got the better of proper on the first map and last 2

oh btw

if u were watching the game

w ur eyes open

edison also had infinitely more space

than proper on the last two maps

[buoyant jacinth]

lol

[fast sorrel]

🤭

[buoyant jacinth]

edison legit

did not do anything

in oasis

proper just walked in front of his face

[willow drum]

pat is just saying stuff

[buoyant jacinth]

and edison just fell over

[willow drum]

for the purpose of it

imo.

[fathom igloo]

It's not like I was in feulcord VC watching the game

[fast sorrel]

fuel*

[buoyant jacinth]

surely the series wasn't close and decided on 1 map

surely dallas weren't overly favored to win to begin with

[old helm]

In oasis Edi got dogged on so hard by proper

[fathom igloo]

Cry about it

[buoyant jacinth]

surely the only reason shock lost was cuz proper was worse than edison

[fast sorrel]

definitely not bc they have the best macro coach in the league 💔

[buoyant jacinth]

definitely not because they have a better player in every other role

[twilit oriole]

Pat will now say decay is better than proper

[buoyant jacinth]

• monkey

which was the most important

hero in that matchup

He's better then the fruad heesu

[tropic herald]

[buoyant jacinth]

it's all because proper was bad and overrated...

[twilit oriole]

Heesu dicks decay

[fast sorrel]

decay better than heesu??

[twilit oriole]

Anyday

[fast sorrel]

are we watching the same owl

[buoyant jacinth]

and better mvp candidates like kevster and shu did so much better in the playoffs

[fathom igloo]

I hope he comes back

[fathom igloo]

I just said that to make him mad lmao

[fast sorrel]

u really do just be saying shit

[fathom igloo]

I like seeing the baby cry

[twilit oriole]

💀

LMAOOO

[fast sorrel]

lmfaooo

[twilit oriole]

bro said he likes seeing babies cry..

[old helm]

Finn is better than fielder. Striker is better than sparkle. Fearless is the only one who was significantly better then there counterpart

[twilit oriole]

Wow pat..

[fluid roost]

when is 2023 season?

[fathom igloo]

Next year

[fast sorrel]

finn is better than fielder is craz

[tropic herald]

likely feb or march

[buoyant jacinth]

lol what

fielder is clear of finn

[fast sorrel]

fielder is legit

[buoyant jacinth]

and striker was getting gapped the whole series

[fast sorrel]

top 2

fs

lmao

[fathom igloo]

Fielder is honestly a top 2 fs

[old helm]

Not in that match

[fast sorrel]

fielder and shu

are t2

[twilit oriole]

First good pat take

[willow drum]

no way you said that

[tame aspen]

I only watched the overwatch playoffs so I'm not too familiar with rosters. Are there any teams with a little more diversity?

[fathom igloo]

Fr

[fast sorrel]

wdym

[willow drum]

heesu clears decay

you bum

[fathom igloo]

?

[fast sorrel]

most rosters are either full korean full NA or mixed

[twilit oriole]

This fool thinks justice have a chance next season..

[fast sorrel]

theres not a lot of diversity in owl

[old helm]

Maybe overall but Finn played with Proper so much better than fielder played with his team I feel

[fast sorrel]

also chinese

[fast sorrel]

thats bc everyone was playing w proper

shock entire strategy was to enable proper

dallas have a different strategy

hivemind

[buoyant jacinth]

can't believe proper kill 5 was close to winning the season

[fast sorrel]

if u will

[tame aspen]

Most of the teams in the playoffs were rosters from Korea. When owl started teams had players from all over the world

[buoyant jacinth]

crusty is a genius coach

for that strat

[fathom igloo]

I mean FL has like 3 or 4 people from saudi?

[buoyant jacinth]

proper go kill 5!!

[fast sorrel]

ye

[fathom igloo]

Most of the best talent comes from Korea

[fast sorrel]

i said mostly tho

[old helm]

Maybe it’s because proper is more aggressive so you are able to see Finn save him more

[tame aspen]

That's why I'm saying it lacks diversity

[fathom igloo]

My b I'm trying to read discord on my break

[fast sorrel]

shock were legit just dumping resources into propers ass tho

is the thing

[tropic herald]

a good portion of teams are mixed

still

[fast sorrel]

that was their entire strategy

[cedar oasis]

koreans are better at ow

[fast sorrel]

in general yeah

[old helm]

It worked until proper began to choke near the end. The pressure got to him

[merry coral]

Shock shock shock

[fast sorrel]

proper did not choke bro

edison just had more space

[tame aspen]

I'd like to see more female representation in overwatch

[old helm]

Understandably

[fathom igloo]

I mean NA focus more on physical sports while the esports scene is bigger in Korea

[fast sorrel]

i mean its just who plays the best lol

[devout path]

you can start by not calling them females

[tropic herald]

5 of the 12 teams in playoffs field full korean rosters the other 7 do not field full korean rosters

[fast sorrel]

im sorry but you cant just sign women to teams for the sake of diversity

[fast sorrel]

this too

based asf

[cedar oasis]

women suck at ow at the highest level

[tropic herald]

its a systemic issue with gaming overall

[fathom igloo]

Wrong

[cunning patrol]

He is right

[twin bloom]

This has unironically been the most "diverse" season

[cedar oasis]

compared to men women suck at the highest level

aka

owl

[twin bloom]

2 full western teams made playoffs

[fathom igloo]

How do you know there was only one in the league

[twin bloom]

Glads were dominant and are half western

[cedar oasis]

exactly

[devout path]

2

[twin bloom]

Shock is still mixed

[cedar oasis]

2 women vs over 200 men

[fathom igloo]

Wait who was the second

[fast sorrel]

halo and geguri

[cedar oasis]

in owl

[twin bloom]

Odd to complain

Imo

[fast sorrel]

does she still go by halo?

idk

[devout path]

halo and geguri

[fast sorrel]

i think she does

ye

[devout path]

i think so

[fathom igloo]

I forgot halo was a trans

[twin bloom]

Aspen clears halo and geguri

And aspen is mid

[devout path]

probably

aspen is almost owl level main support

[twin bloom]

Idk aspen is lep level

[old helm]

When proper cannot play aggressive like he could on kings row or oasis he doesn’t play as well. You could see proper playing worse on the maps they werent stomping on

[twin bloom]

Aspen could do decent in owl

But she is just

A mid NAC

[fast sorrel]

yeah bc fuel were holding infinite space

[twin bloom]

Ms

Lol

[fast sorrel]

and edison could do more

[tropic herald]

aspen would be pretty alright

[cedar oasis]

after paris most people are owl level

[fast sorrel]

there is a direct correlation between space and impact

unless ur like

[twin bloom]

The paris supports

[fast sorrel]

fuckign awful

like guriyo

[twin bloom]

Are better

Than aspen

Lol

[fathom igloo]

Who's that woman in supers streams that makes fun of him

[cedar oasis]

its close

[tropic herald]

paris could be a better team but they were given a awful chance in owl

[fast sorrel]

are u thinking of shartcandy?

😭

[twin bloom]

Nah i think they are significantly better

[tropic herald]

not that they would suddenly be playoffs team or something

[tropic herald]

daph

[left solar]

if I’m watching the stream on my computer but I have a different YouTube video playing on my phone on the same account will I still receive the league drops

[fast sorrel]

yes

i think so

[tame aspen]

Unfortunately who knows they haven't given a lot of guidelines for tracking

[fast sorrel]

idk i usually play the stream on both my phone and computer

[devout path]

zain is too good at melee

[winged heart]

hey does anyone know why im not getting the rewards for the stream?

[karmic charm]

owl starting in may

[dense dune]

It takes a while to process the tokens and skins

IIRC they said they’re going to drop the skins on November 14th

[winged heart]

Ye

[winged heart]

[static turret]

Ya

[merry coral]

Damn I thought I was gonna see more owl content

[balmy wolf]

just watching it for my 3 hours

Thought it looked familair

[merry coral]

Lmao I didn’t see shock vs outlaws before the final so I thought it was a different game

[ashen meteor]

does adblocker prevent you from getting owl tokens

[karmic charm]

no

it hasnt prevented me once

[molten socket]

i feel like the youtube is preventing me from getting tokens, i watched every single game during playoffs and grandfinals and i got like 50 tokens

im so angry for this

[fallen silo]

Bro I would pay for super to be in another maid outfit again

[unborn bronze]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO1XjffJ5f8 does this live give league tokens?

[iron brook]

Does grand finale Encore Still give Drops?

[verbal kayak]

I have no clue

[sullen berry]

if it does, this is your last chance to earn them

[unborn bronze]

i have like 95

and some are pending

[sullen berry]

it's drops for the grand finals, so you're good

yeah, wait until November 13th to spend any tokens you have, it might be updated later

before the deadline when rewards should be available on the 15th

[karmic charm]

i think im owl ready

jakerat has nothing on me

[tawdry glen]

No

[analog dawn]

How do you have -5 games lost

[karmic charm]

i dont know

[tawdry glen]

☠️

[karmic charm]

230k dmg/10

275 solo kills per 10

840 elims per 10

im just better

[tranquil hazel]

Can anyone that went to the grand finals tell me if they got the owl sojourn skin

[tranquil hazel]

[winter cipher]

Good enough excuse for blizzard probably

[glass sinew]

[cursive cypress]

[proven tide]

Ive heard about everyone got tokens from the first few streams
